Default OT--USB turntable

Looking to buy my brother something to record his old vinyl
collection onto a computer.
A local store has a closeout sale on Ion USB turntables for $75 each.
As a technical weakling, I'm consulting y'all to see if anyone's
tried this unit or has any ideas regarding what I should be looking
for. It seems like an easy to use unit, but I don't want to buy the
wrong thing.



Normally, the output from a turntable has to be amplified to record from it
via computer. If not built in (rarely) the amp can be obtained by piping
from turntable to a stereo then from stereo to computer. See my dandies in
sig for more info.
