I purchased and received the ARTcssories USB Phono Plus in the past 2 weeks and used it today. It was easy to set up and I will not go into detail about specs as others have covered it well. I will instead use simple and plain lingo on my experience in using this product.
I unpacked the unit, plugged in my Technics SL-1200M3D RCA plugs and the ground wire (yes, there is a place on this unit for a ground wire) to the back of the unit. I then plugged in an extra set of RCA wires to my mixer so I could hear LP's as I played them. I flicked the switch on the front so I could hear what was playing and then connected the USB plug to a USB port on my desktop. I downloaded Audacity from the internet for the newest version and opened it. This unit is powered by USB which is nice and does also have AC Adapter bundled. My computer recognized the unit and my computer automatically switched my audio to 'USB Audio Codec' and I was set to go.
I put on an album and started to record the song in the middle in order to get sound level correct in the Audacity program. This Phono Plus also has a volume/gain knob so you can adjust volume input to your computer program that you choose to use. I set my input level very low on the Audacity software program so I can use the phono Plus's volume knob. Once I got the volume level I wanted, I erased what was recorded in Audacity and reset the stylus to beginning of track and hit record in Audacity again to record the song. (The Audacity program is one of many that you can use, but since I have Nero for editing my WAV files, I use Audacity only for just going from vinyl to digital. Audacity will also allow you to edit what you recorded).
I exported my newly recorded song to a file on one of my hard drives as a WAV file. I then edit in Nero and cut out the silence and maybe adjust volume levels more. I leave in the abnormalities from my albums like small clicks or pops that happen here and there as my albums are in good condition and I enjoy the natural sound and do not want to edit this out. I then encode the WAV files to MP3-320 and MP3 Pro so I can play them on different portable devices. I save the WAV files too for making cd's.
I am very happy with this unit and works as intended. Hell, I may even take out my 8-track player and record 8-tracks with this thing and record the tapes as they are but have them on cd. This unit will allow you to hook up about anything with RCA plugs. I also have an ION USB turntable that actually works very well, but it feels like a toy compared to my Technics. By the way, this Phono Plus unit does not feel cheap and seems quite solid. It is made with aluminum and rubburized sides, not plastic.

This device works exactly as advertized. It is way better than a USB turntable if you already have a good turntable.

I have been looking for something like this for many years. It is the perfect solution for turning all of my vinyl records into WAV files. I've been a Professional Broadcast Engineer for over 30 years and I've seen technology come and go; this one is for both the going out and the coming in. I was unimpressed with all of the USB digital turntables that I checked out; the quality just didn't meet my expectations. I already had a high quality analog turn table and phono cartridge; just needed to find an easy way to convert the analog songs to digital for my PC. Audio input on the sound cards never made me happy with the final result. Well, now I am satisfied to my heart's content. If you are like me and you want to convert all of your old records and import them into your PC media library, then this is the first step. It is very easy to hook up. No extra drivers to worry with in XP or VISTA. The second step is having good recording software. The unit ships with the free open source Audacity and while I'm not that familiar with it, I prefer Magix Audio Cleaning Lab. Great for cleaning up scratchy records. Happy Listening!

I've been using this preamp with XP and Vista for about a year with no problems.
However, windows 7 is another story. The drivers no longer work in Win7. There is no Volume control, even though the Windows Sound panel shows the level meter going up and down, I am unable to get any application to get an input from this unit.
I have left 2 separate inquiries, over the past 2 months, to ART's customer service, via their website (No phone #'s available) and have never received a reply to my queries asking weather the device will ever support Win 7.
So Just a warning, if you are planning on upgrading to Windows 7 This year, don't plan on this unit working with it.
