Would this be good for vinyl records?

If they have covers, I don't see why not. The records may lean a little since they are lighter unless you tighten them together, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I use mine for cookbooks.

I have had mine for about 7 months, and have cleaned a few hundred records with it. It has held up fine for those light cleanings (dustings), but wont get in the grooves where the real problem areas are. If you are just removing top type dust then it will be fine. Be carful with products like these on very dirty (thrift store type buys) as you can do more harm by pushing dirt into the grooves of the record. Vacuum cleaners are always the best route, but price can be an issue. I have over 5000 records and only use it for the light cleanings.

I think it would work fine, but I don't know if the quality would be as a good as normal musical recording device. So I guess it just depends on what you're using it for.

Depends on what you want to spend and how much you can afford for a cartridge. The turntable will spin any record just fine. But for sound quality, you should research cartridges and needles.

You'll definitely need an RIAA-type of preamp (Amazon has a few economical models). The signal coming out of a turntable needs to be EQ'd and boosted to work properly. No real way around it. :-)

I set my system up not to create a digital server simply because while I love music, I do so many other things that I simply want to spin my vinyl collection and enjoy the sound. I don't want at this point to bother with transferring from one medium to another but I would venture to speculate that if your vinyl is in pretty good shape you will be surprised how good the rips will sound with this very inexpensive device. It was developed for people to pipe vinyl to a computer sound card so the processing that occurs seems to take bad signal out and leave behind good sonority. How exactly the circuitry works isn't completely swear because ya gotta remember that this device takes in analogue does something to that signal and puts out a cleaner analogue signal. Whether it's got two simple DACs inside or just analogue filters I really don't know. If you are a fanatic, which is your call, then a device known to produce and output a digital signal into one of the available digital formats might be more up your alley. That device is gonna be pricey. All I can say is that when I spin vinyl that I bought in college over forty years ago and pipe it to my power amp and my big vandersteins, If I close my eyes I can't be sure if it's live or memorex!!!

I think that if your record player has a pre-amp in it and a USB out, you could.

I would never use them for LP records except as an outer packaging under a box. They were not as thick as other bubble envelopes I have purchased in the store, but, more important - you should pack the LPs in some none-scratch material to prevent scratching, then a layer of cardboard on each side, to prevent cracking and bending, and finally slim box so they don't shift and shatter. Hope this helps.

The inputs are line level - which means they will work for tape decks. The signal from record players (magnetic cartridge) is pretty low, so ou will need a preamp to get good results from a record player.

bought it and it works great for cleaning snowmobile engine parts... this particular model don't think you are going to get a 12" vinyl record to fit all the way in... sorry.

I see it more as a conditioner than a cleaner. It makes vinyl almost like new again, but I don't know that it would clean for your application.

No your built in sound will be fine. The amp and software will clean everything up. Getting pops and clicks out of vinyl is a little tricky as it can make the recording sound muddy. Otherwise the amp worked great for me.

If the record player has a rca out, or a 3.5mm headphone jack out, it should work.

Yes, it is. Absolutely; The old vinyl LP's would not be a tight fit either. It's really well made. I use it every day under my desk at work, putting my feet up. Comfortable foot rest.

I haven't used it for LPs. But it would be doable. However, unlike most record storage cubes, the sides aren't straight up and down (they are slanted). That might not be a problem, though. (And Rattique does make a straight-sided version: http://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-6500-1716-JAVA-Rattique-Storage-Crate/dp/B00J0K50X8/.) I just tucked an LP into the one I own. The basket is rectangular, and it fits fine on the long side with a little room to spare. (The handles are on the shorter sides). You could get a pretty good collection of records in there. Do be aware that (like the sides) the bottom is woven, not a completely flat surface, so it might make impressions on the bottom of your LPs over time. I don't know - but it might. The basket isn't heavy so if you have a lot of LPs in it, you might want to put the basket up against a wall or piece of furniture to keep it from tipping backwards when records are against the back of it. I hope this helps!
