The PS-LX300USB is one of the most exciting new inventions to come down the pike in a long time. See, it’s a record turntable that connects to a computer. Records are disks encoded with music or spoken word and these records spin. A needle touches these disks and transmits the audio electronically to a digital sound thingie that puts it on the USB cable and then into your computer. If you have a lot of vinyl records — and you didn’t transfer all of them to lossless audio 10 years ago — then this is just the thing for you. It will cost $150 and comes with Sound Forge Audio Studio and a big steaming bag of WTF.
Oh, don’t worry, The Sharper Image will regain their throne as the leaders in “wow, what the heck are these,” technology gadgets.
All the same, I have a buddy that bought one of these. Perfect for the old records he inherited. Speaking of record, great definition of the old, historical term.
By the way? Does it say how much sound is lost during the transfer?
