    I have been trying to find an average size stereo system with LP turntable/CD/Tape/Radio with Tape to CD converter. Nowhere seems to sell anything like this. I have tried Powercity, Totterdells, corner electronic shops around Dublin and just nowhere sell them from what I can see. However I know this has to be out there somewhere. I would love some help. Thank you :)

    Turntables have gone audiophile :) I.e. they exist, but are generally done as a separates component to a system.
    Not every amp that you get now has a phono stage either, so you have to get two boxes most likely.
    What sort of budget have you in mind, and what equipment have you already got that you'd like to keep using if possible?
    There are plenty of turntables on ebay from cheap to expensive, but if you want a shop, Cloney audio in blackrock have them - albeit tending towards expensive good ones.

    I have my doubts as to whether they will transcribe from analogue sources to CD - not being bothered to read all the specs, but one of them might.

    PCWorld/Currys sell a USB Tape deck and USB Turntable (The modern name for a record player ;) ) that may fit the bill ?

    As tapes aren't great quality to begin with the results may vary. The turntables are crap - made from plastic so lots of rumble and noise - but should suffice for converting that old vinyl collection to CD.

    You can check out the tape deck here they sell the same one in Currys/PCWorld

    Hope this helps ?
