I know some old persons who truly like searching for old-time songs. My grandmother is almost eighty years old and she is not an exclusion. She is actually used to listening to music from old forms of data carriers and commonly said that modern technologies are not able to provide appropriate quality of sound. When the world began to convert to CDs in mid-eighties of the 20th century, my grandmother refused to give up vinyl.

She gathered many vinyl records over the years, most from her audiophile mate John, whom she named “Jocko” and others from her friends and children. There are even some rare records of the King of Rock'n'Roll. The significant negative feature of vinyl is that it can be spoilt in case it is utilized for hundred or even thousand times. Recently I viewed her collection and I sow a huge amount of old time records that are very interesting for me.

My grandmother wanted to prove for us, her grandchildren, that her records are worthy of praise. The main purpose was to get the device which can help to convert the music that is stored on vinyl in any digital audio form.

I was amazed when I found her near my computer with a pile of her favorite vinyl albums and two USB turntables. She said that she had it from one audiophile website and she was not assured which version she would like to buy.

A lot of people even do not realize that such devices as USB turntables can help them to store their beloved old records that they have got just on vinyl. There are many different types of such gadgets. She read lots of articles about such equipment and determined that the turntable which costs a great deal of money doesn't significantly differ from the other one which costs less money. That is why she decided to set the limit of money that she may afford to spend on buying a turntable.

As it turned out my grandmother found some stuff on Stanton USB turntables online. The other models which seem to have a good quality and quite ordinary cost are Numark TT USB turntables. My granny made decision that the best method to determine which modification is the best and most handy is to have both of them to test.

I called my sister and let her know of our granny's experiments with today's sound technology. The response of my sister was similar to my. Having previewed some songs that had been already converted, she decided to get some of them to her iPod. Wouldn't you be proud to get a granny like mine?
