Ion USB Turntable with iPod Dock

Ion are known for their USB supported turntables and has now come up with a new version featuring an iPod dock for easy use.

The belt-driven turntable converts and saves your vinyl records to MP3 directly to a 5th Gen iPod or 2nd Gen Nano connected to its built-in dock.

In addition to providing high-speed vinyl audio conversion to MP3, the turntable plays LPs at 33 1/3 and 45 rpm speeds (adapter included), and its adjustable anti-skating control provides increased stereo balancing. Includes 1/8″ RCA output and cable for connection to a stereo system equipped with either a CD or AUX input.

It can also plug directly into your computer with its included USB cable, allowing you to convert your LPs to MP3 using the included recording software (PC/Mac) for the removal of scratches, hisses, and pops, but will operate with any software that supports USB audio input sound cards. 20 1/4″ W x 3″ H x 17″ D. (8 3/4 lbs.)

The iPod USB Turntable ($260) is available at Hammacher Schlemmer.
