Thinking of getting one of these convertors for my old man's xmas. He's got tons of old records he could get transferred onto CD. I've seen a lot of these convertors being advertised but don't know which is worth buying. Seems to be a massive diffrence in price. Some cost £20, others about £300
Anyone used them, any recommendations?

Converting vinyl to cd is like sticking a mic in front of the tellly to record top of the pops 35 years ago. |

Im not sure what you mean by vinyl to cd converters ?
the way i do it was to buy and plug in a usb turntable into your pc and record the sound and save with a free program, you can plug a normal stereo output into the mic input on your pc, so you could do it for nothing. |

Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Elite Pro does it faultlessly.
The sound this thing puts out is unreal. |

LOL, use to do that - and Pick Of The Pops on a Sunday, and put the budgie upstairs so you wouldn't get him on the tape, and make sure no-one pulled the chain if they used the toilet ! |

For easy use without a pc then a vinyl to cd converter is best way for you, its just a waste of money if you have a pc.

he's got a record player, but he wants to transfer his old records to CD.
I know you can get a USB turntable for under £50 but that only records onto a computer. I don't want the computer involved. Just a direct transfer, LP to CD. why do they cost £350 ???? outrageous :-( |

Buy him an mp 3 player and a docking station, and use a usb turntable to pc and convert them all for him, ;) keep you out of trouble for a few days/weeks/months dependant on record collection size, took me 3 months on and off , plus side for me was playing all the old vinyl .

For the money you might as well buy him a cheap pc & usb turntable, everyone should have a pc not matter what age they are.....

66 is hardly ancient, ask Big Charlie

If your Dad wants to sell his records, i'm interested. 1950s / 1960s, presumably ?

I use a Steepletone turntable/cd/radio system (to mp3 or memory stick) - it was a present and probably at the cheap end of the range - but it does the job well.
