Customer rating is 1 of 5  Bad product, worse customer service   2010-08-18
By J. Z. Fry (the 313)
I honestly can't believe how many good reviews there are for this thing. I'm no audiophile (far from it), and I certainly wasn't expecting stunning sound out of a $90 turntable, but I also wasn't expecting it to be this bad. The cheap plastic shell and knobs instantly turned me off, but I was prepared to live with the sub-par construction. The flimsy felt plate that the record sits on, however, was wavy and uneven, which meant that the record wobbled as it rotated. On top of that, the motor would speed up and slow down, so I was left with a terribly wobbly, terribly annoying sound.

I tried putting a 45 under the record I wanted to play, thinking it might at least help level off the plate and cut down on the wobble, but much to my dismay it did not. So my next step was sending it back to Ion under warranty. I figured they could fix the motor speed problem and might even replace the uneven felt on the plate. An email from the service department gave me a return authorization number and a 4-6 week estimate. So I patiently waited the 6 weeks before calling, having heard nothing up until that point. When I called, I was told that they would have to look up the information and call me back before the end of the day. Thus began the fight to get a word out of them. It was another half dozen emails, half dozen phone messages left on answering machines, and a handful of calls that were eerily similar to my first inquiry ("I'll have to look up the info and give you a call back") before finally getting a response informing me that my turntable was on its way back.

"Finally!", I thought, "They said it was going to be 4-6 weeks and it's been more than 12 weeks, but at least I'm going to get a functional turntable back". It appears that they sent me a brand new one (rather than repairing my old one) which only furthered my shock when I plugged it in, loaded some vinyl and... surprise!... SAME PROBLEM!

I might just write this one off, toss it in the garbage, and spring for a proper turntable.

The Ion Portable Turntable system is very easy to use and does a good job. There is nothing that a casual user would miss. The hardware and software are simple to use and do the job. I have a hunch a true audiophile would find it pretty basic but it isn't sold or priced as a high end audio device. A perfectly acceptable piece of equipment that brings a lot of old favorites back to the party. Be warned, your friends probably have their own secret stashes of old vinyl. Get used to friends showing up with take-out and a bottle of wine in one hand and a stack of albums in the other.
Customer rating is 1 of 5  Mine didn't work   2010-06-07
By Raymond Marble (California)
I had to return the unit I purchased because it didn't work. I installed the software that came with it and connected the hardware according to the instructions. I could hear the music coming out of the unit's speaker. I could hear the music coming out of my computer speakers. The unit would create a file on my hard drive and upload it to iTunes. The file would be silence. I tried playing it in iTunes and in QuickTime. Nothing but silence. I brought the file into an editing program and the waveform was a flat nothing from start to finish. I tried the process multiple times, but always got the same result. It did everything it was supposed to do except actually record audio. Weird.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  A great choice for archiving your LPs.   2010-06-02
By Laurent J. LaBrie (Baltimore, MD)
I took this out of the box and it was ready to go immediately. I didn't try to connect it to my computer, but as a stand alone unit, it is a very good choice.

Customer rating is 4 of 5  Nice Entry Level Turntable   2010-03-16
By offerson (Ukiah, CA US)
I wasn't able to transfer audio to my hackintosh, but I don't think that has anything to do with this unit. I didn't try very hard either.

I keep it connected straight to my receiver and I appreciate the portability and small footprint. Now I'm testing the old quandary: is it possible to keep a record collection and a girlfriend at the same time?
