The new Sony PS-LX300USB turntable provides fully self-moving operation of vinyl playback at 33-1/3 and 45 rpm speeds. It offers a belt drive system for reduced motor noise and rotational stability, in addition to a static balance tone arm with a bonded diamond stylus for precise tracking and low record wear. A supplied moving-magnet phonograph

cartridge and built-in phonograph pre-amp allows for compatibility with A/V receivers without a phonograph input.

The Sony PS-LX300USB turntable is packaged with Sound Forge Audio Studio software for simple professional-quality audio editing and production on a home computer, allowing for MP3 playback on portable music players. The new Sony PS-LX300USB turntable will be available next month for about $150
