Silvercrest record deck with usb/sd card recording and playback £49.99 @ Lidl NI

Lidl are doing a record deck with usb sd card and aux in recording and playback this coming Thursday. If you have a half decent vinyl collection, or are just starting to discover just how great vinyl sounds compared to cd and mp3's but don't have a record deck (sometimes called a record player or "turntable") of your own yet then this should be ideal.

This is a belt driven deck, with strobe speed control (always the best in my opinion). It features 45 and 33 1/3 rpm, felt turntable mat, stylus cover,

It records directly to usb in mp3 format (I would've preferred wav or flac personally) And its remote controlled.

This may only be available in Northern Ireland, so check your area first.
