Most of those USB MP3 turntables suck ass. You're much better off with a good turntable, sound card and a copy of protools.

Yep, I follow you, and (back in the 80's) have spent some time in studios in the MPLS area. It is a very odd world. Here is also hoping that technology (mp3 T/T) jumps by leaps and bounds, as does everything else in this amazing world of ours.
