The most elegant way to rediscover your records. The PROFILE series of LP-conversion systems is designed with contemporary, low-profile looks and is finished in sleek, piano black.

PROFILE LP is an LP-conversion system based on a multi-speed USB turntable with a dust cover. The turntable has simple USB output that enables you to capture music from records onto your computer.

   This turntable, as all ion turntables, forces you to use itunes software for no reason. Any software could convert from wav to M

   If you’re looking for an all-in-one, satisfying, affordable turntable solution, this guy is pretty much your best bet. It feels like it could be sturdier, but it doesn’t feel flimsy or particularly cheap. It’s actually quite satisfying to use.

   I got this so I could integrate it into my Home Theater PC setup, and it works wonderfully. There are a couple caveats, though:

   1) The RCA cables come hardwired into the unit, and they are RIDICULOUSLY short. Like, 2 feet. If you’re planning on using the RCA output, I’d recommend picking up some extension cables or something.

   2) I don’t know exactly how the software does the automatic track separation thing, but on more than one occasion the automatic track separation has failed; it’ll rip two or more tracks as a single track. Doesn’t happen all the time, but be prepared to have to prepare tracks manually on occasion.

   Overall, though, I’m happier with this purchase with every day that goes by. Also, a plus, it comes with the large RCA 45 spindle adapter, with its own mounting slot in the turntable platform. So if you have any 45s with the super-large RCA spindle, you’re good to go, and it stores away neatly when you’re not using it.

   Really no complaints. The user should have a decent degree of computer literacy to use the editing software, but all in all, it does what it is advertised to do. It also helps that it has a built in pre-amp to connect to the more modern receivers which do not have a specific input for a phono. The built in duist cover is also a nice feature – I had bought an earlier model that did not have this. I would like a cueing lever to slowly place the tone arm on a designated (usually the beginning) point of an LP, and an automatic tone arm return for the end of the record (I had these features on older turntables/changers – maybe just on changers?). It is much easier to connect a turntable to a USB port on a laptop than to have to go through the gyrations of connecting to an audio input (all I have on mine is a microphone input and I don’t know if this is a mono or stereo input). Like many people, my desktop PC is not located anywhere near my entertainment center, so the USB connection is a great feature, since I can use it with my laptop. All in all, highly recommended.

   I recommend this to anyone who has LPs. My only wish is that you didnt have to install I-tunes to use it. I-tunes thinks they can charge you for album info of music you already own. That’s a rip off. I just copy them over to media player and download the album info for free. Cheers!

   This is a great LP recorder and player for the price. I have never owned a record player in my life and i love it. The sound quality is far better than i expected. And it is so simple to use. Just plug, download the software, and you are all set. For the price and what it does you can’t beat it.
