Suggestions on a turntable that I could record to CD discs. - Blu-ray Forum

I'm looking for a way to record many of my records to CD. I went looking at turntables and basically noticed two types.

1. Turntables that looks like a wood cabinet and includes a CD recorder.
2. USB turntables that connect to a connect to a computer via a USB cord.

My desktop is a Windows 7 with a 64 bit operating system. It has a USB Jack on the front.

So what's the best option. The stand alone turntable/CD recorder or the USB turntable?

Does the USB turntable come with program that can reduce noise or reduce scratch noises?

Probably the LP120. It connects via USB. You can digitize the LP and burn to disc.

If you want to reduce noise, make sure you give your LPs a good wet clean and keep the stylus clean.

Post up over at Vinyl me please. They know a ton more than i do.

There are programs which can reduce noise in existing files, the best idea would be to run a high-pass filter on the file since most vinyl noise is at a much higher frequency than any of the music. These programs have been used in some CD reissues of older albums where the only source available was a vinyl copy, they usually give a fairly good result.
