"Extreme quality for low money"

Sound: Very nice and mild sound with details. You will hear absolutely no noise on output. Feature: Great idea with the big input knob. I like these LEDs indicating output/input singal and peaks. Classic/ASIO driver switch is also very good idea. Ease of Use: Just plug and play! Easy ASIO driver installation. Intuitive operating. Quality: Verys solid build quality, no criticism here. Value: Very affordable too. Manufacturer Support: Great support from website, helpful manual and forums, new drivers for download.

Style of Music: No specific style, I just like quality.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Quite a nice little product."

Sound: Setting up to use the ASIO driver with the supplied Sonar LE software is not intuitive. It took a call to Cakewalk to get this done. Feature: Fine. Ease of Use: The supplied Sonar LE software is a bit much for my purpose of digitizing old albums. Quality: Seems to be well made. Value: Does what you want for a good price. Manufacturer Support: There is most definitely telephone support available for this product. Go to their website and you will find the number to call! The wait to get support was long (40+ minute) but once I got through they were very helpful and patient. Overall: The marketing clearly states you can digitize records with this product. This is true - but only if you have a phono-preamp. It will not record if you just hook up your turntable to it. I have a phono-preamp so it was not a problem. But make sure you know this if you want to digitize your records.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
