I already have this product, and I wouldn't have known of the upgrade if it wasn't for this! Thanks again Brian.

Exellent! Glad I could help :)

I wonder if 320 would add any value as there would undoubtly be quality loss due to vinyl damage, warping, vibration, cartridge imperfections and only God knows what else.

320 is absolute CD quality, and as we remember back from the beginnings of CDs - only digitally mastered tracks really provided full CD sound - and they used to label it as so... Remember AAD CDs??

[briansredd]

I was thinking the same thing. It's not like we're making a digital to digital recording here. I'm sure there is a quality difference when the bitrate goes up and down, but is it going to matter THAT much in this application? Sounds OK to me

Nice that they have made upgrade. Think the 320 is very close to original and still packed that's why it is wanted and all the mp3 shops sell their mp3s as 320... gotta say that the sound quality difference between 192 and 320 is noticeable.

192 is definitely better. Pretty cool they have an update.

I agree with brian, but for the 320 crowd (like me lol) I would have to rip them more manually. I have a creative sound blaster Xfi that allows me to record in at 96k/24bit, then once I have the uncompressed wave, I rip that to a 320 mp3 with LAME mp3 encoder. Honestly it doesn't get any better sounding than that unless you rip to a lossless format for the uber audiophiles.

@TM261180  you can hear it play with the headphone adapter but there is no amplifier so it's not quite listening quality. But, there are output RCA jacks and cable that comes with it that you could connect to an amplifier. Haven't tried this yet but it's hard to believe that it wouldn't work. Check EBAY for prices - got mine for $100 (fantastic!) as an overstocked item

Anyone know why this was discontinued?

Just got this turntable and its awesome. I have an extensive collection in mint condition and so far it could not be any easier. Would highly recommend this turntable. Its just a good turntable, period!

[DJMonger1]

just grabbed one of these off eBay new for $134, man this turntable rocks!

[TM261180]

Is the AA TT Record good vinyl player? I mean just to play records, not to record them to a usb stick.

Just want to point out that the new ones are already formated to record at 192. The 256 upgrade is good. Don't try to copy the mcs file from a mac though. I kept having problems, it would never finish the upgrage. I loaded the card in my pc and realized that the mac system puts these funny extras files on the disc that can't be seen on a mac. The .mcs file needs to be the only file on the card.

cool ! Das hat geklappt !

cool ! That's worked !

No one needs to buy USB turntable. Audacity software (free) or Ableton Live set up to any turntable is fine. Just connect the turntable to a good soundcard/sound interface then a computer, and you are ready to rip.
