The key is being able to convert old vinyl to MP3 and then it is an object of decor rather nice. That said the overall appearance still gives an impression of "fragile". Recommend especially for lovers of objects "vintage". I do not know to this day there are other products to transform Vinyl to MP3 files without too much to bother with lots of connections and son ... In fact it was his look and the simplicity of this system which had decided me to buy it (and because a real turntable to listen to vinyl I have one). But with this one, we pass the disc and then zouh! Well, voila: MP3 falls directly in the cart!
