WoW … not world of warcraft or anything else… just simply the expression of my feelings… GIVE IT TO ME, BABY!
That would be a great way to start my vinyl collection…..
Oy vey! Fantastico! My <3 goes pitter-patter at the sight of this contest.
Excellent! I only have two vinyls so far, but these three would be great new additions!
this is an awesome prize. It;s cool that everyone has a chance at winning, but I also think it might be more fun if there was some sort of challenge to winning, like a music trivia question or finding a rare mp3 on the web, just something to spice it up.
I’ve never owned vinyls before… but with these, I’d love to start a collection!
This is amazing!
the amarican dream: “from rags to riches”
my dream: “from dishwasher to usb-turntabler”
Sweet.
sweet, PMA has the best contests….just comment and win. haha i love it!
does you fink it is ever right to give an animal ecstacy?
omggggggggggggggg. this would seriously be the best gift anyone could ever give me ever. my dad has 5000+records that he wants to transfer to mp3s and i could surprise him with this, plus those are my 3 favorite records from the year. you owe me for all those late night conversations when i entertain you. PLEASE?
@MIXWELL
and this with a fleet-foxes-flatware…
This would make my year…unless I find a way to take over pretty much amazing and get with tons of hot girls every day.
Yeyeah!

THE ONLY PROOF HE NEEDED
FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD

This can finally give me something to play those old zeppelin records i found on.
+ ive been meaning to listen to fleet foxes for the longest time!
When I saw they are giving away the Vampire Weekend album, the rest of the gifts don’t really compare but are cool. I just saw VW at Terminal 5 on Saturday night. If you aren’t a fan give them a chance. They are something completely different and really amazing.
Huzzah for vinyl – - this is for a jacket right?
Vampire Weekend, Fleet Foxes and a turntable? Sweet!
ooh yeah.
This might be the coolest giveaway I’ve ever seen!
Wow! This has to be the coolest PMA contest thus far!
Awesome contest, I would love to win it!! You guys give out some cool stuff.
Always interested in working with vinyl. This could be the thing that gets me started!
THAT TURNTABLE IS SWEET!!! so are the vinyls
I love records

Great deal!
Awesome giveaway. Someone is going to have a VERY happy holiday
I would REEEEEAAAAAAALLLLYYYYY like to win this! I have been wanting to transfer a bunch of vinyl to MP3s for a long time,but don’t have the wherewithal.Pick me!!!
hmm, I was just musing that i’d like to get a record player. USB makes it even better.
This would pretty much be the most amazing Christmas present EVER!!!

holy awesomeness!
fingers crossed.
wow. i’d die.
I WANT IT PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God willing.
dooood, Fleet Foxes…….yum.
Wow, this is an epic prize pack, that anyone would be so lucky to have. Where I live it’s hard to find any vinyls as everything is so digital these days. Vinyl’s are way cleaner and just love listening to them old school style. I’m hoping to win this, but seems like a lot of people are hoping the same! Good luck everyone, and happy holidays!
-JB
Oh man, this would be great. I’ve been ogling all this stuff since forever on amazon but have never been able to take the vinyl plunge. I hope I win, then I can justify getting Bloc Party, Interpol and Modest Mouse albums on Records.
Perfect for the holidays! This turntable is sick
Awesome!
friggin’ amazing. o____o
Oh wow
Hardly Wait One
Hooray free vinyls!
rad
The Vampire Weekend LP’s always sold out at my local record store. I want it!

Incidentally, an ION portable turntable is right up at the top of my list for santa this year. What a christmas it could be… a rockin one.
I have no words for this gift.
Nice !
Dope!
If The Radiohead, the Vampire Weekend, and the Fleet Foxes are a therapy and the vinyl is the cure, I need the Ion Portable USB Turntable if not, I die!
Winning the USB turntable would be great!!! I still have about 4 crates of vinyl records sitting in my attic from when I used to dj years ago and this would let me out them all onto my ipod.
This would be sooo cool. I have a bunch of vinyl that I can finally convert to MP3s.
i dont want it , please dont give it to me!!
(reverse psycholigy!)

this would be pretty much the best thing eveeerrrrrr
Boys noize remix is amazing, the vinyl would be even more amazing.

This is sooooo coool. I would love this.
I could really do with this, I hate CD’s but love having my music in a physical format!
Awesome, intense, entered.
i want it.
I’m sitting on top of a pile of fantastic vinyl – some great stuff- punk, post punk, funk, 12″ disco, some great bootlegs…..
My new year wish is to take this lump of fantastic plastic and give it a new digital live. I’d love that little machine!
Who wouldn’t love a usb turntable. It’s like an early Christmas
