The only way I have used this turntable has been to input from vinyl directly into iTunes on my computer (a MAC running 10.6.8) via USB - sometimes via a free download called 'EZ Vinyl Converter' and sometimes, when I wanted to do some tweeking, via Audicity (also a free download). I have been very satisfied with the turntable for that purpose. But I'm afraid I haven't tried playing directly from the turntable into an audio system. Sorry if this is no help for your situation.

Oh, for sure. Great turntable. It has a universal head shell, so, it works. Still enjoying mine. Getting ready to purchase an additional stylus replacement so I will have it when needed.

Hi,I believe you need a P-Mount cartridge for this type of turntable - the kind that "plugs in"Please let me know if you have any other questions, I will do my best to assist you.JenniferMillennium Worldwide

Thanks. Is it generally easy to swap a stylus on a cartridge between records? I know I can buy a whole new cartridge and headset, and just swap the headset every time I want to play, but I don't have the extra $$ right now for all.

I'm a rock musician so I focus on the rock beats. I would suggest going to their site and downloading the manual which lists all the beats / samples.

I bought the turntable on the recommendation of a friend who is a professional dj... he told me that for casual listening, the included stylus was fine. If you are still interested in upgrading, I can ask him if you like.

i have to agree with bruce ditto and find out how old the turntable is maybe get a newer one from amazon get the one thats direct drive because belt driven tends to break down the road and the belts can be hard to come by unless you order some ahead good luck and get yourself an eq with that hk youll discover whole new sound

Do you know what I would use to export files in .wav format? I have a pc with the basic stuff. I would ultimately be using Audacity sound editing software. I've always used .wav files with it. I'm not to experienced with the tech side of things.Andrea

yes I believe turntable with a usb connection will work just fine. the older styled one's may not as the inputs may not be ont the system. I really like this stereo for I can play cd's and not have to change them so often. Hope this helps

You can buy Q-up if you want it to pick up the tonearm at the end of the record. You can also look into vintage turntable's like the Sony psx-600 turntable.

The turntable plugs into your computers USB and the sound would come out of your normal PC speakers. You can hook external speakers to the unit itself but don't need to.

If your laptop is a full OS computer (Windows 7, 8, Apple OSX, etc) rather than a mobile OS computer (Android, Chrome, Windows RT, iOS, etc) and it has an available USB port, then the output from the USB on the turntable can be brought into your computer. Laptop or desktop doesn't make a bit of difference in a computer, the operating system and available ports do.

I you have no transfer plans then do not waste your $ on a useless USB port. Invest in an old school basic turntable that delivers fidelity with low noise and an affordable cartridge.

I agree with the statement that MP3's are horrible. I've tried to convert. Just doesn't happen. What I have found is that music meant for CD, sounds better to me on CD. Music initially recorded on vinyl sounds better to me on vinyl. I kept my records. But I do have an extensive CD collection. I find Vinyl at charity shops and second hand shops for as little as $.25. When buying old records, remember to look for warping, scratches, dirty patches--which may cover hidden damage--, crayon drawings (who hasn't seen this?). In other words look them over carefully.

I'm using Shure's M44-7 I play vinyl records and control vinyl with Traktor Scratch. I heard good reports from people who use the Shure Whitelabel. Shure WHLB Whitelabel DJ Turntable Cartridge If you're not familiar with cartridge setup stay with the all in one units, such as the Ortofon Concords, Shure WHTLB or any pre mounted phono cartridge, it makes setup easier.

I have never tried it, but you can. The USB is useful for just copying one piece from the computer in order to listen to it on your hifi or to copy just one piece from a cassette or a vinyl in order to make a compilation.
