This latest USB turntable model from Ion is quite similar to the one from Veho that was released last year. Simply plug it into the nearest USB port and you are ready to start converting your old vinyls to digital files.

Featuring adjustable gain, anti-skating control and high-speed vinyl recording function, the belt-driven USB Turntables can also be connected to any home stereo with CD or auxiliary inputs. This means you can spin your records through your regular system when you’re not converting them.

Whether it’s Whitesnake, Wham, Spandau or some ancient disc belonging to your dad, the USB Turntables can convert it. And it doesn’t matter what speed the records in question are – these Turntables can handle both 33s and 45s.

The new USB Turntable from Ion is available from Firebox.com for £69.95 (about $116 USD).

Veho has launched a shiny black alternative to those other USB turntables out there. It does the same thing as its competitors, converting your old vinyls to digital files – it just looks a bit better when doing so.

The comprehensive editing software allows you to clean up tracks, rearrange and create playlists, not to mention a variety of other editing features that will have your golden oldies sounding like new – like the handy noise removal tool.

• Convert standard 7, 10 and 12 inch records to crisp digital audio
