CNET has some gorgeous pictures of a “high-grade” USB turntable we have written about before.
USB turntables are the worst offenders. Built on the cheap, to last just long enough to rip your old LPs into iTunes, most of the world’s USB decks spend their lives stored in closets in garages once their owners see them for the bulky, eyesores they really are.
It doesn’t really solve the problem of having no use of them once you have ripped your library, but hey you can pay more.
