Vinyl-to-PC made idiot-proof
Replacing your vinyl treasures and cassette tapes with CDs is both expensive and a much-begrudged spend.
While some will never swap the clinical sound of CDs for the ‘warmth’ of vinyl
sound, the rest of us would actually like a simple method of getting them
into MP3 format or onto some blank CDs. Terratec is hoping to do just that with
its Phono Pre-amp Studio USB. Hook up your turntable to this little gadget and
attach it to your PC’s USB port and off you go. Terratec says you need no
drivers, no sound card and no power supply – it powers itself off the USB port.
The accompanying software includes a tool called SoundRescue 2.0 from
Algorithmix which can remove any pesky hiss and crackle. Even better you can
also hook up a cassette deck so that you can save all those dodgy compilation
tapes you made in the 1980s. Shipping now for around £65.

Hi, Does this gadget really work 100% for all vinyl players? Does anyone have any experience with it?
Thanks
