Well they are cheap turntables end of story.
Its like the cassette to mp3 devices its junk mostly.
I would say a normal turntable with a decent cartridge will always be
better just stuck into one of those cheap behringer usb sound boxes, the one
with the switchable raii/line in phonos.
Wonderful with even my Technichs sl5a and Or too concord cart.
Indeed ortofon seem to have rebranded their carts as Vinyl reclamation
series or some such twaddle.

The big part is the software you use on the transferred audio. Use wav not
mp3 and carefully apply noise reduction and minimal click removal manually
per track.
You could get a posh expensive set of software to do it but half the fun is
doing it manually and ending up with a cd that sounds very nice indeed.

at one time with turntables we used to study specifications looking at Wow
and Flutter, Rumble and other characterisitics.

You can now buy a turntable for about £50 to output to a MP3 file.

Are they rubbish - or isn't the medium selective enough for the cheap
mechanical features to matter?
