After a bit of research, I decided the best answer was to convert my analogue recordings to Digital formats, it seemed I had two choices, either buy a dedicated USB turntable or a phono in, USB out, pre Amp. No contest, I already had one of the finest turntable arm combinations Britain has ever produced, and the USB turntables I looked at were flimsy pathetic affairs, so I plumped for the American Audio. It arrived within a few days, a diminutive bit of kit 5 inches X 3 inches, sturdily made with a feeling of quality about it, right let's set it up, WHOOPS it does not come with a UK 3 pin plug, just a two pronged affair, you will need to buy a "shaver" adapter, yes I know it can be powered via USB. There really is no set up as such, connect phono's from Deck to Line In, earth from deck to Pre Amp earth and USB out on Pre Amp to USB connection on computer WHOOPS again there is no USB lead supplied. Once you have bought your extras, simply switch on, Windows 7 recognised it immediately and installed drivers, I am using it in conjunction with Magix Audio Cleaner, however it also works well with Audacity Freeware. I have converted quite a few LP's so far to MP3 for In Car and Background, and to WAV. for a little more serious sit down with a glass of wine listening, results from both formats have been superb. Highly recommended, just don't forget to buy adapter and lead. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Super product! *by K***Z on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2015* Excellent bit of kit! Not sure what the people are doing wrong in the negative reviews? I'm using this as a pre amp for my old turntable that I wanted to connect to a desktop surround sound speaker system that originally came with my old pc quite a few years ago but the sound on these little speakers and sub woofer unit are amazing so I thought I'd give them a try out with my old turntable, that's why I needed this pre amp as there are no dedicated phono inputs on the desktop speaker system. I'm using a 3.5mm adapter on the phono leads coming from the pre amp and these go into a Belkin 5 way splitter (excellent) along with the desktop 3 x 3.5mm connection lead, that leaves me space for my old CD player,iPhone etc to plug into the remaining space on the splitter. Anyway, back to the pre amp, it's really well built and looks great. Has some nice little indicator lights on the front along with a power button, input button, input gain, mix, and monitor level dials. Also a headphone socket which is a nice touch. On the back is the phono inputs and a ground wire connection to connect the wire from your turntable if needed to stop any hum. Also a USB socket and the power input socket. I've not tried the computer set up so can't comment on that. This thing works great on my set up, records sound as good as I remenber them on my old hifi set ups back in the 80's lol! Only slight negative is its a U.S two pin mains adapter but luckily I had an old shaver travel plug adapter that works perfectly with it. Top notch item! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A very good buy *by S***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 March 2014* I think the poor reports for this product are based on a misconception of its function. I bought this as a phono pre-amp and also use it as an analogue to usb converter for digitising my vinyl. The item works perfectly for both functions and is built like a tank. It is a pity that you have to remove the american plug and change it for a UK plug, otherwise 5 stars. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/59777676-american-audio-usb-2-0-89db-genie-pro-turntable-pre](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/59777676-american-audio-usb-2-0-89db-genie-pro-turntable-pre) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
