Woot: $49 USB Turntable
By James Grahame
Today's Woot is an ION Audio USB turntable. It's not high-end by any stretch of the imagination, but the $49 price is excellent.
The ION ttUSB turntable was the first turntable to feature a USB connection that digitizes and transfers audio directly to your computer. The setup includes a copy of the excellent (and free) Audacity audio editing package and includes a line level output so you can connect it directly to your home stereo. It plays 33 and 78 RPM records and includes a varispeed control that can be adjusted +/- 8%.
