[78-L] USB turntable for $34?

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Just remember, don't try to close the dust cover when playing an LP!
They conveniently don't mention if the cart has a 2.7mil needle for 78s 
(but a letter below the item says it comes with two extra needles). The 
ones I've I've seen have only one LP stylus. Not good.
The letters mention that set up can be a problem.
Still, it is only $35 and it may be worth the price of admission just to 
see what it will do. I for one would like to know the difference in 
sound quality between the digital and analog outputs. Maybe I'll get one 
too, and find out.
