Could this TP-D2 be used to digitize my analog turntable with the aim being converting my vinyl to mp3's? How would I set it up?

No, the TP-D2 is only useful for listening, not for encoding. You'd need a software encoder to generate mp3 files.

Hi Mr.Scheuerman, truth is i don't know,what I do know is why rip high quality vynil to mp3 format? There are better machines to do this depending on your budget, this is just me,& I'm sure you'll find what you needSincerely Heriberto

The Topping TP-D2 is not designed for capturing audio signals. It is intended for playing back digital and alnolog audio sources. You need a device like the Behringer UFO202 Audio Interface (which I have used) which can capture audio directly from your turnatable to your PC or from any analog audio output. There are a number of simialr devices available to digitize LPs.

I have only used the turntable so far to transfer three LPs to CDs (I assume you can also put the music on MP3). Everything worked smoothly, though I felt the need to monitor the process. I can't compare the unit to other turntables but I have been happy with the system for the purpose I bought it for.

I did not find it easy. The software doesn't seem to function properly. Instead, I got a Audio-Technica USB turntable and use the freeware Audacity to convert vinyl to mp3s.

If the receiver does not have a pre-amp section you will get almost no sound from the turntable. Yes, this will work. You will need to put the turntable RCA jacks into the phono input and plug the output from this box into a input into the back of the receiver (CD, line in, or aux or something similar to that) be sure to plug in the power cube and switch the button in the front to phono.

As long as it has line level inputs, you should be able to use a turntable. Since these inputs are not labeled 'phono' you will need a pre-amplifier for your turntable if it does not have one built-in.

Yes, it comes with software for you to convert your vinyl records to a digital recording. Installation and use are both fairly easy. It also plays like a "regular" record player.

Try these links, I think it has what you are looking for. One is for the turntable/hardware and the other is for audio conversion software.Good Luck!http://www.ion-audio.com/products/details/iprofilehttp://www.ion-audio.com/ezvc

if your turntable doesn´t have a phono output the volume will always be weak, that´s why you need this preamp to boost your signal to a line level like "aux input". Yes, it´ll work, but I recomend the Berhinger one, which cost the same, I returned my Pyle-pro, it doesnt have the best perform and sometimes comes defective.

Very few receivers these days have a Phono input, and this one does not. You will need to get a preamp to take the phono output and amplify it to line level, then use either Audio 1 or Audio 2. I can highly recommend this: TCC TC-750LC BLACK Professional Moving Magnet Preamp This unit also works very nicely to plug into a line-in jack on a PC sound card for ripping vinyl to MP3s. The only turntables that will not require a preamp are some newer ones that have it built in.

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.

No, you will still need a phono preamp. If your turntable has an amp built in, then sure.

Yes, you can do that. The software included with the turntable records the music from your vinyls into mp3 files. The mp3 files can then be burned to CD's. They should have just put it into basic terms.

This turntable allows you to connect to your computer and transfer 33 1/3 vinyl records into your computer. This is done by using the software that comes with the product,however it is not easy and the instructions are hard to follow.You indicated DVD I think you mean CD's which are for music.

Should be ok. I have recorded vinyl to PC. Most important is the audio software capabilities

Well, basically analog output is what you have with vinyl playing and all those others platforms that you've mentioned are digital. So, analog have a much lower signal output coming from the stylus and VP130 PRE-amplifies it to a acceptable level. If you really want a brutal loud sound kicking in your lungs, you will need a good class "A" tube AMPLIFIER after the VP130 pre-amplifies it. Got it?

No you would not be able to use the digital inputs. Turntables need to use the phono stage as it amplifies the signal from the cartridge and applies the RIAA equalization curve. There will be volume differences since each phono cartridge has different outputs levels. I hear very little volume drop but I have a higher output cartridge on my turntable. Make sure you using the proper phono cartridge settings ie (MM) for Moving Magnet or (MC) Moving Coil, that will also make a difference in volume.

The unit is able to play back cassettes and CDs (originals and those recorded on it) through a receiver. It can not play vinyl. If recording of vinyl on the unit is needed, turntable will need to be run to a receiver/amplifier and the signal sent via the "line out" to the 222SLmk.
