Does anyone out thier have any infomation on ION USB Turntables. And if so do they work well and recomeded?

Answer 1

A California outfit called Ion has spotted this evident need for a simple piece of kit which makes the vinyl-to-digital transfer as painless as possible, and launched the first (as far as they know) USB turntable. We reported the product launch at the end of last year, but it's only recently that we were able to snag one for review:
