This is a great piece of kit. I wanted an easy way to turn my old vinyl records into mp3s and this system, with the addition of a record deck of course, allows me to do just that. It contains 2 GB of built-in memory, or you can plug a memory stick or mp3 player straight into the front USB port. You just set whether you want to record to the internal memory or the USB device, put on an LP, push a button and the system converts and saves your rare vinyl sounds as mp3s. Brilliant!
And what a whomping sound you get from these kickin' 600 watt speakers. An mp3 player plugged into the front port gives great stereo, crisp upper and an absolutely gorgeous bass response. My favourite music has never sounded better, whether its Thomas Tallis or The Smiths. For those of an aesthetic bent, the speakers also look really good.
The fm radio sound is also very, very clear, particularly for speech, which is great for me as a Radio 4 listener.
All in all, I'm delighted with this sound system. The only downside was finding the same system £50 cheaper on another website after I'd unpacked mine and set it up. Doh! It pays to shop around. Having said that, this seller got the product to me very quickly and in perfect condition, and still at a pretty good price, so I'm not exactly crying into my soup. Still, £50 quid's £50 quid ...
