All this USB turntable talk.. 17 Years, 7 Months ago

..I just plumbed a turntable into the microphone socket in a laptop and A+B`d it against a USB signal.
Once converted to Wav/MP3 or 4, I honestly could not tell the differencein sound from a USB outputted machine.
Three foot of cable costing one pound for something you probably already own versus buying one of the new set ups?
Hmmm.
Vinyl shall probably continue growing in sales.

Funny, I just saw two turntables in the catalogue of a major supermarket over here. One has a USB connection, while the other has - I licked my lips - 33/45 + 78 speeds! I wonder how many they will sell. I'm tempted. My old Philips turntable (which also runs at 16 rpm) is seriously worn out.

Strange that this is being sold by a major supermarket.

Not got a 16rpm now, but when I was a lot younger I remember we had one record that speed which was spoken word. That's the only one I've ever seen. We've still got about a dozen 78s in one of the cupboards. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

No 16s, but I do have an Edison toilet roll in bakelite (I'm sure it has a proper name, it's basically a roll with music engraved on it). But I don't have player for that one.

When I think about it, I have a pretty good museum of redundant technology. The most recent useless thing being a Philips "digital" cassette. Remember those? For a while, it acted as a fantastic mobile recorder.

Ah! The Phillips digital recorder! I kid you not, we have a good number of them + the DAT recorders that look like handbags all with post-it notes on indicating breakage. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.
