Why would a AWD car also have traction control?
all traction control does is slow your motor down when a wheel starts to spin and wont alow you to keep giving it gas to spin out of control While AWD can help you keep from slipping and will help you keep control in ice and snow, remember that you can still slip. Traction control briefly shuts down the engine when you start to slip so that you don't loose control of the vehicle. Both features are useful in bad road conditions. Actually Traction Control uses the throttle and the brakes to compensate for wheel spin.

What is the best sounding USB turntable?
There is one "audiophile" USB turntable- the Pro-Ject Debut III USB. It is regarded as an "introductory level" audiophile turntable at $500. Good audiophile turntables cost $10,000 and more. At the other end of the spectrum are the ones you normally hear about- Ion Audio, Sony, Crosley and Audio-Technica (among others). These run around $100 (or more if they have additional features, like built-in CD burners). You will not get the best sound from these "consumer" USB turntables but they are affordable. To get the best sound quality, avoid the "ceramic cartridges" that are so prevelant on these $100 USB record players. These will muffle the high and low frequencies and wear out your records quicker. Another tip is getting a USB turntable with anti-skate adjustment. This ensures the needle stays in the center of the record groove, where it sounds the best. It also allows you to upgrade the cartridge to something that sounds better.
