Editorial Reviews:
|
Convert your old collection of cassettes and LPs into crisp, clear digital audio and then create audio CDs and MP3 CDs so you can keep a personal archive of your collection that will not degrade or deteriorate over time. Use the LP or Cassette to Audio CD Wizards in the included Nero SoundTrax software to go from LP to CD audio in 4 simple steps. ADS Tech respects the rights of copyright owners and asks that you do the same. Simply plug into USB port

Summary: RCX-150-EF is GREAT
Comment: Within 20 minutes of receiving my order I was copying a Cassette. It worked so well I spent most of the day copying. It was very easy to use and did the job as it should. I only wish it could copy faster.

Summary: Seriously flawed design makes this product a shaky proposition for many users
Comment: This product is sold as an all-in-one, plug-and-play solution for unsophisticated users. The trouble that it doesn't deliver on those terms. It cuts too many corners.
Firstly - there's no built-in RIAA preamp. Most modern stereo gear is not set up to play vinyl and so doesn't include an RIAA preamp with its all-important gain stage and frequency compensation. True, most people with record collections will have an old amp with an RIAA stage built in, but what if they haven't? What if they threw it away when they converted to CDS? Well tough, they're going to have to shell out on some extra kit before they can use this product. Never mind, they'll probably be OK with cassettes. Won't they?
Well, maybe. The other problem with this product is that there is no means of adjusting the analogue input gain. Sure, you can adjust the volume level after the sound has been digitised, but if the output of your cassette deck or your vinyl preamp is too hot the sound will be distorted and there will be absolutely nothing you can do about it. Or if it's too quiet, bringing it up to the right level will bring up the noise as well.
Now, if you've got a sound mixer (as ADS suggest in the docs) you can deal with that. But the target market for this device doesn't have a mixer. They want a guaranteed-to-work plug-and-play solution, and I'm sorry to say this product simply isn't it.

Summary: SUPPRIZE it works well
Comment: With some dough I was well pleased it works well as long as you get the spin it again softweare and usb connection older type is a pease of junck
Customer Rating:
Summary: Who would have ever thought -
Comment: ...that someone could make a CD from a record or cassette!!! This product enabled me to do that and I am extremely pleased. Only problem is that although I can make CD's from my records, I'm still going to have a hard time parting with my records. I really haven't tried to make a CD from a cassette but I'm sure it will be the same; I'll let Amazon know by another review. This new technology amazes me.

Summary: Worth Every Penny!
Comment: This item is extremely easy to use and produces excellent sounding files. I have transferred recordings from cassette, and they sound great on my computer. I heard others discussing problems with their recordings, but I believe they must have their outputs set too high on the cassette/LP player. Get this and you won't be disappointed.
