Ion USB Turntable from Urban Outfitters

What to do when your record player conks out (assuming some folks out there still have a record player)? We used to have a turntable, but it died and buying a new one seemed a little out of step with the current century.

Now we have a vinyl-friendly option for 2007, the Ion USB Turntable from Urban Outfitters.

The Tribune gave it a thumbs up, and this post from Home Tech offers a similar alternative. We like the fact that this model looks a lot like our old record player, but gives us a way to play LPs on our iPod.

Dust off your old vinyl. Play it loud, play it proud and check out these other AT: Chicago posts for inspiration on how to display your collection:

If you want to have your turntable fixed instead of buying a new one, this place does a good job. Or you can pick up used stereo equipment too-

20th Century TV & Stereo Center
1615 W Montrose Ave
(773) 528-1728
Chicago, IL

Highly recommended.

we were early adopters of I-whatever technology and bought and still use an i-River that allows line-in recording, so we've digitized a lot of vinyl that way. sadly, they don't make these anymore...

capiche?

How could you not care what your money ultimately ends up?

There are tons of other places that sell the same things that don't do what Urban Outfitters or Anthropologie does.
