Audio Technica AT-LP2D-USB Fully Automatic Stereo Turntable with USB Output, Includes Recording Software and Dual Magnet Cartridge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, I'm not sure if the previous reviewer had his sound card input set correctly, or if he forgot to switch this turntable's pre-amp switch to the correct setting, but mine sounded great. Also, I elected to use the RCA output on this and not the USB... maybe he was having audio-quality problems with the USB part? Many users seem to have an issue with static and otherwise poor audio when using the USB connection. Instead, I suggest using the RCA output on this unit connected to your PC's audio-in jack for the best sound quality. Please read on...
I've never even owned any LPs before, but I recently got a real craving for some mixes that only appeared on DJ-only LPs. So I purchased a few, along with this turntable so I can rip them into MP3s.
Everything arrived on the same day, so I was like a kid in a candy store. All I can say is HOORAY!
There are two versions of this Audio-Technica turntable... one has USB capabilities, and the other (which is a bit less expensive) does not. However, even with the USB output, there are also good old RCA outputs on this turntable. The turntable also comes with two RCA to stereo 3.5mm mini-plug adapters: one male adapter (for connecting to stereos, powered speakers, or a mixer with 3.5mm mini jack inputs), and one female adapter (for connecting to amplified speakers or other devices with a mini-plug). Basically, you can connect this turntable to almost anything without having to go out and purchase additional cables or adapters.
The unit has three buttons on the front: start, stop, and up/down. I'm sure you can guess what each of these does. This is an automatic turntable, so the arm is controlled by the buttons (no need to manually lift and place the needle back down).
The turntable also has a pre-amp switch, for either "line" or "phono" output. This way, you can connect it to most devices, whether they have an amplifier or not.
The setup of the turntable itself is pretty easy. Follow the instructions to easily place the platter onto the turntable and pull the drive belt onto the motor spindle (illustrations are included).
I elected to connect the RCA cables to one of the adapters, and connected that to the "line-in" mini-jack input on my digital sound card. Technically, I didn't need to purchase this more-expensive USB version of the turntable since I am not using the USB output, but that's beside the point :)
There are two CDs included in the package: one for Cakewalk Pyro 2004/2005 (commercial software), and one for Audacity (open source software). Cakewalk Pyro is NOT compatible with Windows Vista, so I installed Audacity (check their website for newer versions if desired).
After installing Audacity, I selected my input source ("line-in"), put the first LP on, and heard exactly what I was hoping to hear... high quality music and sound. So I restarted the LP, hit the record button in Audacity, and waiting for the song to finish. Then I hit the "stop" button in Audacity to stop recording, quickly and easily trimmed a bit of the dead space before and after the song, and exported it to a high-quality, high bit-rate MP3.
For the money, I couldn't have asked for anything better. Everything sounds crystal clear, and couldn't be easier. I highly recommend this product. If you have a line-in jack on your sound card (which most do), and would like to use that, save yourself a few bucks and go with the model that doesn't have the USB output. I'm not sure if the other model comes with a CD for Audacity (maybe only Pyro), but Audacity is an open-source free download on the web anyway. Either way, you won't be disappointed.
Happy ripping! :)

Grado Prestige Black P Mount Turntable Phono Cartridge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was the third phono cartridge I ever purchased, and the only one of the three that I would consider buying again.
I got the smoothest sound out of my vinyl that I've ever gotten with this cartridge. Unfortunately, it has one very serious weakness--the stylus assembly is incredibly fragile, not to mention impossible to change if you don't have the special tool.
If you're doing any kind of archival work (like transferring your vinyl to your computer), you definitely couldn't go wrong with the Prestige Black.

Grado Prestige Green Standard Mount Turntable Cartridge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all, I want to point out that the Grado Prestige Green is an excellent cartridge for its sound reproduction. Trombones are not piercing, bells are soft and the bass tone reproduction is amazing. Grado's are very well designed and deliver a great value for the money.
But... (and this is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars) you need to be sure that your turntable is well matched for this or any Grado. I have a direct drive turntable with an unshielded motor, and the Grado picks up a low amplitude hum as the stylus moves closer to the spindle. This is because Grado does not shield their cartridges. I don't know why, because everything else is great about this cartridge.
If you have a belt drive turntable with a motor far away from the cartridge or your motor is shielded, you shouldn't have any problems. This will be your best investment.
Now I don't want to exaggerate the hum, because you do have to turn up the volume pretty high to hear it. I have been using it for digital restoration of vinyl and the hum comes through the preamp and sound card. I can filter it out with software without damaging the audio (noticeably). I considered a different cartridge but I love the sound of this one too much.

Grado Prestige Black1 Stylus Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a moderate hi-fi buff, and when it came to refurbishing an old Gerrard turntable, I chose this cartridge base on other reviews. The fidelity is great for my ears running through an AMC integrated amp into a pair of homebrew MTM Vifa/Scan Speak bookshelf speakers. The response is neutral to warm, and the stereo separation is quite good. Lower end Grado cartridges seem to be as good a bargain as the low end of their cans.

Audio Technica AT3600 Standard Mount Magnetic Cartridge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Have had an old Sony stereo system since 1987 and the needle has (had) been broken since 1995 or so. Recently replaced the needle (just unscrew the top black piece, pull off the yellow piece, and detach the clear plastic cover carefully--slides under and locks into position the tonearm, but will take some patience) and it works great. The single yellow piece will cost much less and would have bought on eBay but don't currently have an account with them, so all thanks to Amazon. Fortunately, this particular stylus is easy to find compared to some other/older styli. Have purchased some rare vinyl records on top of that as enjoyment. I digitize the records to iPod with MicroMemo accessory and sounds great on a computer. Just use an audio editor and burn to CD if you want. (Just a suggestion--what I do.) Generally, if the album is available on tape or CD as well and you don't have a turntable with a working needle, a vinyl record wouldn't be appropriate. Some might choose vinyl for its so-called warm audio tones and cover art that differ from other formats. Probably little demand for this nowadays but you never know when obsolete technology has a minor advantage over the newer stuff. Vinyl records are still in production, but cassette tape is becoming harder to find now, even online! Blank CDs and DVDs don't have the archival life of tapes and vinyls because they scratch too easily. Vinyl is very sturdy but certainly not compact, and you can't record your own records as you can tape and CD/DVD. Having said that, more than likely you would buy vinyl than tape, but it's a matter of need and interest. I would recommend this Audio Technica product if you have the equipment for it.

Pyle-Pro PT4001X - 5500 Watt Professional DJ Power Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First and foremost: This amplifier is NOT 5500 watts. Don't be mesmerized and fooled by insultingly inaccurate large numbers. The only way this amp could produce 5500 watts is If Lightning Strikes it (i.e. 5500 Watts I.L.S.). In reality, it's producing a maximum of about 250 continuous RMS watts per channel at 8 Ohms. That means don't embarrass yourself by posting videos on Youtube claiming that you have a 5000, 10000, 50000 watt stereo system in your bedroom that is running off of a standard 110 volt / 15 - 20 amp circuit breaker...OOPS!
Pros: This amp is simple and produces good, clean, and powerful sound at high volumes without distorting nor overheating. The cooling design is great. There are two 60mm fans inside the front of the chassis. Each fan is attached to a large square tubular heatsink (one on each side of the chassis) that extends the entire depth of the chassis. All of the MOSFETS (8 per side) are attached to these large fan cooled heatsinks. I've rocked out on this amp for hours and although it was warm (105 - 110 degrees), I could still comfortably put my hand on top of it. Another great quality of this amp is that it feels well built. It's nice and heavy (about 40 pounds), and it feels very solid and sturdy. If you want a simple amplifier that you can hook up to your PC (via 3.5mm to RCA patch cable), use as a home stereo system, or just need something powerful to take to an outdoor party, then this amplifier is for you.
Cons: It's only a 2 channel amp. I would have liked it to be a 4 channel amp, but I knew it was only 2 channel before I purchased the unit; so I can't complain much. Also, there is a push button circuit breaker on the rear of the chassis. It would be a nice feature, but it doesn't seem to do much good. It seems very cheap and flimsy. I've actually blown the internal fuses without the amp setting off the rear circuit breaker. Maybe I have a defective unit, but either way, it doesn't seem to be functional. Finally, it would have been nice if there were more than one set of RCA inputs on the unit.
Other Thoughts: I'm tired of underpowered home theater receivers (from Sony, Onkyo, ect) that overheat and can't produce good quality sound at moderate to high volume levels. Consequently, I bought the PT 4000X amplifier for my home stereo system. So far, I'm very pleased with it.
Package Contents: Amp, manual, and power cord. The power cord is the same type of power cord that you might find on your computer's power supply unit and monitor.
*Side Note* This amplifier uses 4 (2 per side) 5 X 20mm 8 Amp / 250 Volt fast-blow fuses.
Specs according to the manual:
Continuous Output RMS Wattage in Stereo Mode:
260 watts x 2 (20 Hz - 20 kHz, 8 ohms)
400 watts x 2 (1 kHz, 4 ohms)
Continuous Output Power in Bridged Mode:
700 watts x 1 (20 Hz - 20 kHz, 8 ohms)
800 watts x 1 (1 kHz, 8 ohms)

Nady MM-141 4-CHANNEL Mini Mixer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned this piece of equipment for a period of time. When I first used it with a 9V dc power supply, it had a terribly loud hum. So, I had to use a 9V battery instead to eliminate the hum. Then I decided I needed a 9V dc power supply to get a permanent power source to eliminate the chore and cost of replacing the battery. But, the hum!
First, I started to look for as "http://www.nady.com/mm141_mixer_pg.html" describes it "... or optional PAD-1 AC/DC external adapter." I just couldn't find the PAD-1 for sale anywhere online. I searched and I searched but to no avail. As an alternate solution, I bought a hum eliminator thinking that it will eliminate the hum but it was totally ineffective.
I did further research and found that previously I was using an unregulated power supply which was the source of the hum. My search resulted in finding someone that has a similar mixer with the hum problem and was able to rid the hum by using a regulated and filtered 9V power supply. I bought myself a similar power supply and viola! the hum is gone!!! I supposed I had found the PAD-1.

Stanton STR8150 High Torque Direct Dive DJ Turntable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Stanton is promoting this turntable to the mixing/scratching set. However, if you're an old coot like me who just wants a good quality turntable that will play your LP's, 45's and 78's, this is the one to get.
The STR8-150 is solidly built; the entire thing weighs about 36 pounds. The platter is a little lighter than some other turntables I've seen, but there's just no rumble at all. There are both analogue and digital outputs that allow you to hook up the turntable to practically any stereo, home theater system or computer (no special phono-level inputs required).
A bonus feature of this turntable is the variable speed control that allows you to actually play records as low as 16 rpm (used for some special use records) or up to 90 rpm (used on many early acoustic "78's").
A good quality Stanton cartridge comes with the turntable and a 78 stylus is available for it.
The only thing missing is a dust cover or an option to buy one as an accessory.

The ultimate night-club, party, or compilation tool, Stanton's rugged and graceful STR8-150, with its skip-proof straight tone arm, offers everything professional DJs need--and nothing they don't. In creating the STR8-150, Stanton went back to basics and re-engineered everything, using quality as its prime consideration. The 'table uses durable steel construction designed to minimize feedback, an ultra-stable platter and tone arm, and an industry-leading high-torque motor producing more than 4.5 Kgf-cm.Key features include key correction, reverse playback, up to +/-50 percent pitch adjustment, 3-speed playback (33-1/3, 45, and 78), and even an S/PDIF coaxial digital-audio output so you can plug the turntable directly into a CD recorder, digital surround receiver, or PC/Macintosh sound card. Adjustable start and break speeds let you tailor the quartz-lock 'table's action to your mixing style.When key correction is on, the pitch slider will only affect the speed of the platter. The key, or tone, will remain at 0 percent. This is ideal for bringing song B up to the tempo of song A for a seamless mix, without altering the tonal makeup of song B.The STR8-150 also includes adjustable feet, a slipmat, "L"-shaped cables, and the Stanton 680HP cartridge mounted on headshell.What's in the Box Platter, tone arm, cartridge and headshell, counterweight, slipmat, L-shaped cables, a 45 rpm adapter, a user's manual, an AC power cord, a target light, and warranty information.

This preamp features stellar phono specs and performance, then adds on top of that the ability to also accept two microphones, either electret (condensor) or dynamic, to allow stereo live recording. These mike inputs are MUCH better than the ones found on most PC sound cards, because not only do they provide a superior signal-to-noise ratio, they work properly with dynamic mikes and musical instrument pickups which do not require a bias voltage (sound card mike inputs generally will not work properly with these, resulting in very poor reproduction). Classy retail packaging makes this a super gift choice for the budding musician or recording enthusiast....

Phonic Powerpod 410 100W 4-Channel Powered Mixer with Variable Delay Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I play in a trio and have a DeeJay service...we have plenty of BIG systems to handle this but I was looking for something for smaller venues & smaller parties. I bought this unit and have been truly impressed. Now, if you're playing Lincoln Center or the Royal Albert Hall you are not going to want to use this system, otherwise, like me, you might be very surprised. We played in a small bar, 100 or so capacity, last Saturday and had power to spare, the speakers never distorted and everything was crisp.
As to the dj thing, we plug a laptop and external hard drive into a Y-adapter and go in through a single "guitar" plug in the front, bypassing the "line in" jacks, bang! (Stereo is great for the car or at home, in a public venue it is pretty much a waste, mono is tighter and punchier), it sounded great! Now, I bought the system that included the amp, a microphone, cables, speakers and one speaker stand...right at $200.
The amp is simple and kicky and the same can be said for the speakers. We have larger speakers that do not perform any better. Apples to apples, oranges to oranges, look at the price of this...it is an amazing product even if it sold for twice as much. Will it last and take the beating of life on the road? I can't say, I haven't had it that long, but I can't remember buying much of anything in the past few years that pleased me as much as the Phonic.
