Ion introduces LP-to-CD ripper

By Donald Bell, CNET.com

Ion Audio had a slew of new USB turntables on display at CES this year. Of all the new models, the turntable we're most interested to get our hands on is the LP2CD, a direct-to-CDR vinyl archiving solution.
The LP2CD includes an all-metal platter, an LCD display, a USB connection, a switchable line/phono audio output, and a front-loading CD player and recorder. At US$449, the LP2CD turntable doesn't come cheap. There's something to be said, however, for paying a little extra to take a computer out of the vinyl archiving equation (although the LP2CD can be used with a computer as well).

The Ion Audio LP2PC should be available in the US within the first quarter of this year.
