How would you describe it?

A whole generation may have grown up that might not understand why some of us still hang onto those thin black disks known as vinyl records. However, the fact remains, and serious audiophiles agree, that vinyl has a fuller and richer sound than CD. So you don't have to be a club DJ spinning records until the wee hours of the morning to appreciate a quality turntable like Stanton's new T.90 USB. It features three playback speeds--including 78rpm, should you actually have those really old records lying around--along with a pitch slider in case you are working on your own megamixes. This turntable might be meant for older technology, but it has plenty of 21st century features for our digital age. You can adjust the tempo of a record without affecting its pitch, and more importantly use the digital and USB outputs to copy your vinyl albums directly to a CD recorder or even rip them to a computer, where the included software can convert the songs to MP3 or WAV audio files.
