    I just bought a PS-LX300USB and made my first recording. Very slick! I wanted to address a point made by more than one reviewer - "Can't monitor while recording". It is really very easy to do as there are two sets of outputs - USB & RCA (phono). All you do is run the USB to your computer and run the RCA to a stereo. In my case, my stereo is in another room - SO - I just got an adaptor from Radio Shack (COUPLER - two female RCA, one end, and one female mini phono, other end) and hooked up a set of iPod earphones to the RCA outs. Cheap headphones are best because they are designed for low output devices and will give you enough volume to monitor with, with only the turntable's built in "line-out" to power them. When one song ends hit the pause button, then the make another recording button, then the record button again. There are plenty of effects and tools - for old albums you can use the EQ to boost the highs, etc or put in a little reverb to make it sound more live.. You can preview (hear) any effect before committing. A great little package - all you need to do the job.

    I've only had this thing two weeks...and it's been frustrating. Whoever designed the software should be fired for incompetence. Why would you design a product that records vinyl to hard drive without giving one the ability to listen while recording? A Sony 'help' person told me it wasn't designed to do that! So, you have to guess when to flip over the record or pause between tracks or only record certain tracks. And you have to pause between tracks because the software doesn't recognize the space between cuts; it will only read as a continuous recording. Now, if you do the 'guessing' thing, it will record and do a nice job of cleaning up your vinyl without destroying the richness of an album sound. But man, why would Sony put out a product with this serious glitch? I expected a lot more from Sony. This is stupid.

    Great Stereo Turntable

    By BeeGeeDC

    from Washington, D.C.

    Comments about Sony Black USB Stereo Turntable System:

    I've only had my turntable for a couple of months, but easily converted several vinyl albums using the vinyl restoration feature in SoundForge 9.0, although some songs don't break. That's easily fixed via cut & paste into new tracks. Just make sure you save first in WAV format and then you can edit freely and save into other formats (e.g. MP3, etc.#. Still learning software, but it seems to work best via the vinyl restoration wizard. For replacement, the stylus #N-6516) part number is 9-885-117-75 and the cartridge part number is 9-885-117-76. Give Sony parts and accessories a call. I'm going to convert all my vinyl and have loads of MP3s to load on phone that are probably not even available in online stores. Wish I could sell them, but I'm sure the bad guys would call. :-)

      I made a CD from the single album I finally got recorded on my computer. The entire album is Track 1. I searched the internet about the problem and I learned I'm not alone.

      No power

      By frenchbus

      from Portland, OR

      Comments about Sony Black USB Stereo Turntable System:

      Followed troubleshooting help from Sony rep which we confirmed there is no power going to the unit. The spindle does not move after depressing "start" and no electronic sounds can be heard. Inspection with a flashlight under platter and it looks to me like there are some electronic components missing. Too bad they don't have another one in stock or I'd review a working model.

            I bought this turntable to replace one that developed an electronic problem. Missed listening to my records until the Sony arrived. My records sound as good as ever.

            The delivery time was very brief and the box arrived in perfect condition. I was very satisfied.

              Comments about Sony Black USB Stereo Turntable System:

              I guess it is nice to have this as a record converter, but the fact that you can't actually listen to any records on it doesn't make any sense... I wouldn't really recommend it. Sorry Sony, but I don't like this one...

              Excellent Record Player

              By roelof

              from san diego, ca

              Pros

              • Easy to operate
              • fully automatic(you only have to flip the vinyl)
              • Quick Setup

              Cons

              • can't do scratches
              • poorly written instructions(luckily I have a knack for assembling stuff)

              Best Uses

                Comments about Sony Black USB Stereo Turntable System:

                Excellent value considering all of the outputs and the preamp and also the ability to plug into computer. People complain that you can't listen to the music while uploading to your computer, making it difficult to know when to flip the vinyl. However, that's wrong. All you have to do is look at the stylus and when it comes onto the slick surface you flip the record(not that hard -_-). Warning: don't buy this if you want to learn to spin records and do scratches and stuff, it's nearly impossible to spin without touching the vinyl itself.

                      The delivery time was amazingly fast. The product was in perfect condition and packaged very carefully. unfortunately because I'm a novice, I didn't realize other components were needed. I read wrong and thought it was a stand alone record player. Unfortunately I needed to return it. However I will definately order from abt when needed and recommend it to friends.
