Product description
USB Phono Plus Project Series. The USB Phono Plus from ART is the ideal solution for transferring your highly prized vinyl collection to your computer or laptop, and also works great as an audio interface between analog and digital sources. The built in low-noise RIAA phono pre-amp circuit features low cut filters (to remove rumble and noise) that will help achieve clean transfers. Front-mounted gain control and Signal/Clip LED allows easy optimization of a wide range of analog input sources. The USB Monitor/headphone provides zero latency monitoring of the input source for easy cueing. The USB Phono Plus can also act as audio playback source for any USB equipped computer or laptop. Optical TOSLINK input and output as well as an S/PDIF input make the USB Phono Plus an ideal analog / digital audio to USB interface as well. Housed in an all aluminum black anodized case, the USB Phono Plus can be powered by either external power supply or directly via USB port. To ensure maximum versatility, the USB Phono Plus is fully compliant with the USB 2.0 specification and uses USB adaptive mode for playback and USB asynchronous mode for record. It will work with Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP/Vista/7 USB audio device drivers as well as Apple OS9.1/OS-X computers with native USB support.

Awesome stuff. I’ve compiled hundreds of my vinyl albums to digital. None of them exist in cd format or mp3 so it’s nice to have it on the go. This is the perfect device.
I still recommend it to those on a budget and need a phono stage. It’s not bad for 100bucks. But not fair to compare to my phono stage with is over 1200bucks.
I’ve got some ultra low output MC type carts that this device cannot handle, but would never expect any phono stage to handle. So I’m able to use my MC carts with my phono stage and output direct to this art usb device over the line in. And the results are pretty good. I have to say the sound quality is slightly less with it in the chain, but it’s pretty darn good overall.
Its too bad because the main reason I was using the USB Phono Plus was to limit peaks in audio. Audio from various sources and various recordings can vary widely and this prevented a lot of clipping from occurring.
Alas, I will yet again have to spend more money on more stuff in this disposable device economy.
My turntable had a level too low for my new receiver. I needed to adjust the level higher than the receiver's level adjustment could reach. I began with setting the Phono Plus's level adjustment to zero, and got the same level, I had without it. That was expected, so no problem. Once I started to increase the level, it just added a lot of noise. Yikes!
To get digital output, requires a digital input. This device will not take the analog RCA plugs from the turntable, and convert it to a digital output (SPDIF or optical). It does convert to digital for the USB-out.
The addition of the monitor jack on the front allows him to use his headphones to play his music late at night without bothering everyone else in the house.
Yes, I am aware nothing that he is using is high end and there are much better options out there if you want perfect sound from your records. But since we are a normal family with a limited budget this has worked out very well for us.
The only improvement I would like to see would be a digital gain control on the phono input; that would give me precise repeatability when I have to re-record an album. That happens a lot; I want to set the volume so that the recording peaks near full scale, but without clipping. With a digital gain control I could look at the recording, see that the peak was 6.2 dB below full scale, and dial up the gain precisely 6 dB. With an analog control it takes several tries to get the right setting.
