78 Rpm 3 Speed Turntables
Record player advice, anyone?
I'm having trouble choosing a good record player make; here's the stuff that I want:
1) able to play 33 1/3, 45, and 78 rpm speeds
2) semi-automatic arm (so that lowering it onto my vinyl won't feel like a delicate surgical process...)
3) USB, USB, USB!! It's utterly important that I can transfer my old vinyls onto my computer.
4) Decent sound quality... I'm counting on the converted mp3 files to sound great on my speakers anyway, so I don't really need audiophile quality direct from the turntable. Still, I want "decent" sound.
Any ideas?
1) are you sure you really need to play 78rpms? They never sound good, and not much was recorded on them. If you do collect these, consider buying a separate 78 rpm table later, with adjustable speed (78 wasn't a standard, just an average. 78s actually fluctuate from between 75 and 85 rpms). Turntables should have a lever, which allows you to manually, but gently, lower the arm.
2) Semi-automatic arms are bad for the vinyl and bad for the sound.There is more mechanical resistance and spring tension in the lateral swing of auto and semi-auto arms. This causes extra wear on the outer edge of the grooves.
3) You can buy an Audio-Technica or similar turntable with USB, but it will not sound good. These are low quality turntables. For ~$30 you can get a much better outboard Analog to Digital converter (D/A). It will plug into any normal turntable.
4) You can't get good sound quality without a good turntable/arm and cartridge. Once the sound quality is lost, it is lost forever.
I recommend the Audio-Technica AT440MLa cartridge for a beginner. If you want to spend a little more, try a Dynavector 10x5.
Technics makes some OK turntables to start off, Rega makes some that are still better. I use a Rega P3 myself.
If you are on a tight budget, buy an old belt drive turntable at a garage sale or eBay. Open it up and disconnect the mechanical elements which cause the arm to "auto return". This will allow the arm to swing freely and smoothly. Don't pay more than $60. Spend the rest of your money on a good cartridge. Next do some research on setup. You will want to use a bubble level to make sure your 'table is lying flat. This is critical. Then research VTA and azimuth.

A portable CD/DVD disposal unit that plugs into the USB port. That's what CD Destroyer from Vubest of Taiwan is. At the touch of a button, the device scratches circular patterns on CD's readable surface rendering its contents useless in six seconds. It's not very clear how the company's claims that this is the eco-friendly and safest way to get rid of your optical media, but if you do not have the knack for physically snapping your CD into half or putting them into the microwave, this is your next best bet. CD Destroyer is light and comes with a USB cable and a leather carrying case.
Piles of slides and negatives can be quite costly to convert through an external service provider. Breathe new life into your old 35mm slides and film negatives by converting them into digital images with the Slide/Film Digital Converter, which connects to your Windows XP computer via USB 2.0 cable. One-touch scanning, three LED for backlighting and a 5MP CMOS sensor ensure that you will get aligned output, exposure control and color balance. The result: quality images up to 1800 dpi that you can edit with the included software. Turn negatives into positives, crop and resize as you wish. Your memories have never looked better.
Are your vinyl LPs and cassette tapes gathering dust on your music room shelf? Here are some USB powered solutions for converting your analog music into digital. ionAudio's USB Cassette Archiver turns your audio tapes into CDs or MP3. It uses Audacity software and EZ Tape Converter, and is PC and Mac compatible. No drivers required. For your vinyl records, ionAudio also has a Vinyl Recording Portable USB Turntable for 11, 45 and 78 rpm records. It utilizes Audacity software and Vinyl Converter by MixMeister, reduces noise for quality sound output, and can be battery-powered on the go. The best part?

Did you know that the design of the Olympic torch came from the design team at Lenovo, which worked on it for ten months? The winning "Cloud of Promise" design is not only on the torch, but also on Lenovo laptops and USB drives, as the company is a worldwide sponsor of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. The laptops look more impressive than the storage devices, which are only available in China. Souvenir hunters will be happy to pick these up in Beijing during the Games, but the limited distribution points to one thing: the Olympics may not be so hot elsewhere.
They may not look fancy, but IronKey calls its USB drives the world's most secure. And they are certainly the most sophisticated ones out in the market today. Read speeds reach up to 30 MBps and write speeds up to 20 MBps. IronKey employs AES hardware encryption and secure online backup for password recovery. It cannot be hacked, rendering other password manager software program on regular USB drives inferior. The drive is tamper-proof, housed in waterproof metal casing, and will self-destruct in case of physical attack. The interior components are sealed in an epoxy-based potting compound. IronKey works on Windows XP and Windows Vista computers without drivers or software. It is designed with business, military and government use in mind. IronKey comes in 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB for Basic, Personal or Enterprise use, with prices starting at $79.
