Click to expand.Hmm - so it does. Asking price seems to be £75-£100, ish. Inputs for MM and MC cartridges feeding an RIAA stage, and a flat line level input, A-D, then USB out. Hmm - nice idea, but does it work well? Expensive enough that you can believe it's got enough internals to do a proper job (which I suppose is part of NAD's pricing strategy, innit?). Never mind the cynical pose; I read a review: 'By even the most critical audiophile standards, the PP 3 has no meaningful flaws; I can't believe NAD can produce a product of this quality at this price.'
So what do you get, actually? - NAD's Web site not being very helpful about the details: 'The NAD PP-3 has two phono inputs, one for a moving magnet phono cartridge, one for a moving coil cartridge. It also has an analog line-in for connection to a tape deck or other analog audio device.
Convert cassette tapes to MP3 Format USB cassette capture is a portable, handheld USB tape player that works with all kinds of tapes. It has an easy-to-use USB connection for converting the music on your tapes into MP3 files or laptop CD. The TAPE 2 PC from Ion is a high-quality dual cassette deck that allows you to easily convert your favorite tapes to MP3 files for use with your personal media player. Simply connect the TAPE 2 PC to your Mac or Windows computer via USB, and use the included software to convert th. Load a cassette tape in your converter and press 'Play.' Transferring your tape to your PC or Mac is easy with the included audio transferring software. While the converter is playing back your tape, simply press 'Record' in the software!
Outputs include an analog line-out and a USB output for connection to a computer. The PP-3 is multi-purpose: It can be used to digitize records, add phono capability to a component that doesn't have a phono input (there are many) or to upgrade the phono section of an existing stereo or home theater component. It has an external power supply to minimize noise and comes with a USB cable for connection to a computer.' (Although the external power supply is supplied more to reduce regulatory compliance requirements and so provide a cheaper route to market for NAD than any other reason.
I've got books behind me which tell you how to make low noise power supplies for low noise work and they all seem to assume that the PSU and circuitry to be powered by the PSU will be housed in the one box - admittedly, sometimes one box with more than one compartment and the most amazingly amazing arrangements for low-inductance earthing. External PSU means the box of tricks counts as `not mains powered' so needs to meet less stringent regulations - which is why cheap lecky gear is almost always supplied with some sort of cheap-and-nasty external PSU. The external PSU needs to meet the mains regs, but a firm that makes such gadgets has the regulatory requirements met already, dunnit? Oh yeah, and the software referred to does come in a Mac version, no matter what the `About' reviewer above thinks.) More: Rowland. Click to expand.You're being ironic for some reason, aren't you?
