, the $69 price is a steal for a unit from a reputable manufacturer.

Got this model for my step-dad, the buttons do feel mushy/cheap but overall it's a great entry turntable. I think I paid $100 and was still happy
Interestingly though, Project Audio makes orange/yellow look good (and for a lot more too):

P.S. Funny enough, the only 3 units that sold overnight were all orange. Even the one person who got the Bluetooth.option picked orange.
But say you inherited / rediscovered a stack of old(er) records and don't have a wired setup like you or your parents may have had before. Why not use Bluetooth just out of convenience? And nothing wrong with "listening" with your eyes and hands as well as the ears. It's a great feel to pull out a record from the shelf, drop a needle on it and watch it spin as it plays music.

The cartridge on this TT makes all vinyl sound like a 128kbps compressed MP3. All the treble sparkle is removed and it just... sounds like 128kbps compressed audio. The cart can't be changed. And before the "But you can change the STYLUS!" comments -- they do not make any meaningful improvement.
The AT-LP3 / AT-LP3BT cartridge can be changed, but apparently they chose to double the price since I bought one in Dec 2022 for $150.
I disagree on your CD audio comment though; vinyl can absolutely sound equally as good as long as the record isn't old and neglected. Ask any owner of a turntable with a VM540ML cartridge! I own one myself - take a listen [youtu.be].
All us SD'ers could buy three LP60's for the price of one VM540ML though, so ask yourself what your real long-term intentions are for vinyl before deciding on how much it's worth to you. For $90, this is just what you get, good, bad, or indifferent.
What you're claiming is untrue, and you should educate yourself before regurgitating your misinformed opinion.
