Gene-r Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) From what I can tell by looking at the tone arm, the turntable itself is cheap, nasty and tacky - looks exactly like the ones you see selling for £50 in the back pages of newspapers. A turd disguised as a gold watch. Don't even go there IMO - spend just £20 more and get a decent Numark portable instead.

Stateside Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Was thinking of getting a turntable with a usb outlet. I currently use a yamaha CDR HD 1300 but it means I have to save them to the built in hard disc and then burn them to the built in cdrw.The quality is excellent, but can anyone recommend a decent quality turntable that I can use as part of my hi-fi system but can plug my laptop straight into.

Frankie Crocker Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 As much use as a chocolate fireguard. A portable player that doesn't take batteries, go figure. Tone arm weight is a copper coin held in place by blu-tac. Guaranteed to gouge styrene records in one play. There are much better low-end contraptions on the market that perform the same functions and actually look like hi-fi separates. Crosley were a serious firm in Chicago after World War Two but are unlikely to gain converts with this model. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Yes, an Audio Technica AT-LP 1240 USB. It is one of the 'super OEM' decks that have come onto the market since the demise of the Technics SL1210. I acquired one last month, it can be found for around £375. Edited June 4, 2014 by Soul16 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Whose Mike Raven? Radio 1 DJ, had the only soul show Radio career[edit] In the early 1960s, still using his real name, he began working for BBC radio, presenting talks and, occasionally, Woman's Hour.[7] However, when his cousin, the Liberal Party politician Oliver Smedley, founded the pirate radio station Radio Atlanta, he joined the station as a disc jockey, broadcasting from the ship Mi Amigo moored off the coast of Frinton-on-Sea. At that point, he began using the name Mike Raven, and presented shows which focused on his love of American blues, rhythm and blues and soul music, of which he owned a large record collection.[7] In 1964 he married Mandy Kilbey, sometimes presenting radio programmes jointly with her; they later had two sons.[3] With Smedley, he became an active campaigner lobbying Parliament for the legalisation of the pirate radio stations, until Smedley was accused of causing the death of rival radio entrepreneur Reg Calvert by shooting him with a shotgun; he was later acquitted on the grounds of self-defence. Raven then moved to another pirate station, Radio Invicta, which broadcast from a wartime defence tower on a sandbank in the mouth of the River Thames. The station was later known as Radio King and Radio 390.[7] There, he was programme controller and presented a daily R&B show until November 1966.[8] A compilation album, The Mike Raven Blues Show, billed as "twice voted top pirate radio show", was issued on the Xtra label, a subsidiary of Transatlantic Records, in 1966. It featured recordings by Texas Alexander, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Gus Cannon, Robert Johnson, Speckled Red, Victoria Spivey, Lead Belly, Big Bill Broonzy, Sonny Boy Williamson, Brownie McGhee, Lightnin' Hopkins, and Elmore James.[9] After working for a short time for Radio Luxembourg, presenting an EMI-sponsored soul show, he joined BBC Radio 1 - the first national radio channel in the UK playing predominantly popular music - for its launch day in September 1967. The Mike Raven Blues Show debuted on the first day of Radio 1, and was a regular feature, usually on Sunday evenings, until November 1971, eventually expanding to a two-hour slot.[3][7][8] Raven was regarded as a leading authority on the subject, and the show was highly influential in promoting the music of African American culture within the UK, being described as "essential listening for every self-respecting blues fan".[4][5][10] Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sebastian Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I've got a 3 week old Mac and I can't see one, apart from a headphone socket OK. I'm sorry, I just did som research on this. Seems like Apple has gotten rid of the line-in port on their newest machines which is quite remarkable. In the past you could use the headphone socket on Mac's as a "line-in" by altering the settings in: >system preferences >sound >input tab >"use audio port for:" >select sound input from the drop down menu But that doesn't seem to be an option anymore. But for those with PC's, the cables above should do. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
