https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F2B3FKI/
On sale for $169.96, regular $199.99.
An excellent entry level record player, well reviewed with a good cartridge. Please note that you will need powered speakers or an amplifier with passive speakers to use this player.
It has gone as low as $150 but that was over 2 years ago, and most audio gear has gone up in price.

Good luck to you, man. I hope you truly believe you can hear a difference, even though those of us in Sanityland know you're fooling yourself.
Lol. Wtf are u talking about? You sound really depressed or otherwise ill. I simply asked if you knew how the bypass was implemented. You claimed you had some knowledge about it. I guess you're clueless 🤡
Actually, you have no idea what you're talking about. Seriously clueless. The minuscule signals coming out of a passive phono cart can be affected tremendously by any circuitry between it and the preamp. You should honestly do some research before making claims you can't back up.
1. Buy a decent level and make sure your turntable is dead-on level in every direction.
2. Find a cartridge alignment template online and make sure the cartridge is at least in the game. Many pre-installed carts are horribly out of alignment. (Yes, there are more precise and expensive ways to do a cartridge alignment than an online template, but for the budget-minded, they can be a game-changer.)
3. Make sure the tracking weight is correct -- again, there are calibration videos online that demonstrate how to do this. It's absolutely worth doing.
You left out: a high quality phono preamp.
