Wow, I've had that for a year already? Can't believe it. Well, hooked up to the stereo it sounds pretty good. However, the files transferred to the computer - the main reason I bought this mind you, my dad's is still in pretty good shape - don't sound the best. There's always a light hum, and it's murder on my ears (which is weird, because I love the pops and cracks on a vinyl). Plus, sometimes I can hear the needle make its rotations... I wish I could explain that better, but I can't. So hopefully it makes sense.
