Hi,
I plan to transfer all of my MC tapes to CDs, does anybody know which hardware would be best to use ? I'd personally prefer some equipment with USB connectivity
I am not aware of any MC-playing equipment with a USB output being available (only record players with USB have been released as far as I know). If you have a good tape deck in your hifi set, I'd recommend buying a good stereo tulip-to-stereo mini jack cable, and connecting to the line-in of your soundcard. If your soundcard is capable of it, it is best to record in 32-bit and to convert (dithering enabled) to 16-bit after recording.

I've seen cassette and VHS decks with USB output at The Source, made by ION I believe (I own one of their USB turntables, though ironically I use the analog RCA outputs to line-in on my PC anyways.....I couldn't get the USB thing to work)

I've seen just one type of eBay but the person delivers only to USA :( But I'll search more

That's a shame.
I'd be willing to help if you want. I have a friend in NY who could probably receive that for you under my account.
