You could just not use the USB, Bluetooth, pitch control…? They are features that are just there and do nothing when not turned on or not used so I don’t see the issue?
I just have a very cheap AKAI ATT01U I bought about 14 years ago I think when I was still pretty poor. Works really really well tbh, replacing the needle costs almost as much as the turntable was. If records are in near mint condition the sound quality between a 10.000 € hifi and a 150 € setup is not very noticeable imo. Or to my ears. It becomes more noticeable if you play music very loud or music with a lot of very deep bass (think dubstep, hyperdub), both I usually don’t do. My cheap-o-turntable has the USB out but I don’t use it, doesn’t matter. The only 2 reasons I would buy a fancier turntable would be 1 the tonearm balance fine-tuning which this cheap player doesn’t have and 2 something that looks beautiful which this thing doesn’t at all… One day maybe I’ll treat myself to a nice expensive turntable, but it will possibly only be after this one died :')
Edit: fwiw: I think the LPW-40 looks a lot more beautiful than the TN-3B-SE
Optimism bias. People failed to acknowledge a pandemic was happening until and even while it was happening in their own neighborhood and city…
When the tanks roll in they’ll still deny there’s an issue.
