LP-to-iPod Converter
I have some first pressings of David Bowie albums on vinyl, graciously bequeathed to me from my uncle, but my annoying OCD and penchant for worrying have kept me from playing them, because I’m afraid of the scratches that might attack. Instead I’ll listen to burned CD versions, grumbling like an old lady about how much better sounding the LP version I have in the closet is. No surprise "” it’s a complaint shared among stalwart vinyl lovers. But hooray, hooray, the LP-to-iPod Converter is finally going to change the vinyl versus digital debate. It’s designed as a turntable-slash-iPod dock that makes it easy turning your vinyl into digital files, all the while keeping the original quality of the record intact. You could also hook it up instead to your computer directly and use the included software to remove imperfections, but I can’t guess why you’d want to do that. Put in your orders now; the converter ships on December 20th for $260, maybe just in time for Christmas for a vinyl-loving boy/girlfriend who will love you forever as a result when they unwrap this.
