The ION TTUSB05 Phono and USB Turntable is the perfect turntable for archiving and digitizing your vinyl music collection. USB connectivity simplifies conversion directly into your computer and with the included software for recording your music, you can now listen to your favourite music on CDs or portable media players. The ION TTUSB05 even features a standard, RCA line output for connecting to your home stereo or home theatre system with no hassles. Anything that keeps vinyl fresh and appealing is gold in our eyes, and the PS-HX500 is a good example of that. As always, performance is king, though, and in this instance that only furthers the Sony’s likeability; while it’s not the classiest-looking turntable on the market, it has all the class in the sound suite instead. The USB ripping feature remains, so you can digitise your vinyl collection to CD-quality WAV files up to 16-bit/44.1kHz and 48kHz. If you're after a well-executed design that's well-built, easy to set up and sounds great for the money, the AT-LP5x is worthy of a spot on your shortlist.

The ION TTUSB Turntable is an innovative turntable with USB connection enabling anyone to transfer music from records to computer.

You can connect The ION TTUSB Turntable to your stereo even if you don't have a phono input - no preamp required! While automatic updates can be a useful feature for some, anyone that relies on the stability of their software and hardware tools should prefer control over which base operating system is installed on their system. Automatic updates will not account for software compatibility before updating which could lead to problems with stability andother functionality if your gear is not ready for the changes in the operating system.
