Turntable CD Recorder Reviews
Teac, Crosley & Ion CD Record Players

There is the vinyl record turntable and there is the CD turntable Recorder/player.

These are two separate electronic gadgets. However a combination turntable CD recorder/player has been in the market for quite some time now. A record player CD recorder is probably for those who are tired of shuffling analog and digital music files.

A turntable CD recorder is a great option for audiophiles. Doing so will save you money as you don't have to buy separate electronic components for your listening pleasure. You also save space as your LP turntable and CD player occupy the same space. A record CD player will give you the convenience to transfer content of the vinyl record directly to a CD. Load a blank CD-RW or CD-R on the CD component of the unit.

Choose the vinyl record that you wish to copy to a CD. “Play” the record and with a couple button-pushing, your vinyl LP is being recorded or copied to a CD. The converted analog file to digital file is good to go! You can make copies of all your precious LPs without much hassle.
