We’ll start with the LP Saver Phono CD Recorder, which is a complete solution for those of us who are still keeping the old vinyl records and compact cassettes for the sake of nostalgy, hoping that at some point in the near future we’ll be able to play them again.




A few months ago I decided to sort all my old stuff and, throwing away some records that always hated, and keeping the best children stories on gramophone records as well as several cassettes with my voice from when I was little.
The next step was to get a cassette player and a special cable for connecting it to my computer unit, in order to transform all the audio in MP3s. Reading about this I concluded it will be an easy process involving also learning Adobe Audition features, to be able to optimize all sounds. The sad part was that I couldn’t find any record player, no one has such devices anymore.

LP Saver Phono CD Recorder brings all you need in a single unit, to allow you play records, cassettes, CDs and even listen to the AM/FM radio, without using a computer system. In addition, you can use it as a vinyl to CD burner and convert cassette tape to CD format, at a push of a button.

The gadget with the retro-style design has a stereo sound system, retro-looking speaker panels in the front, a 3-speed turntable located under the lid, a side-mounted cassette deck, a CD player with repeat and shuffle options, the built-in AM/FM radio, and a modern LCD display with backlight.
The CD player module has 32 tracks function and supports CD DA audio CDs, CD R and CD RW discs. In addition to all these functions, the LP Saver Phono CD Recorder comes with AUX in function with cable included, earphone jack and a useful remote control.

Its price is high, of $349, but if you are not sure if the system is worth it, you have a 3-month trial period as the store’s guarantee, to decide if you want to keep it or not.
