Bluetooth
USB (I doubt I will ever use it, so it's not super important)
Anti-Skate control
Pre-amp
Speed Switch
I think that's about it.what about this?as of the 2nd a local has 6 available at $499.....sure something can be worked out.
Personally I only look at the analog side of things, so I'm curious how bluetooth plays into a TT.Anyone here have a Bluetooth record player? If it’s that bad, maybe I don’t want one.From what I understand, a Bluetooth turntable is so you can copy your records on to a CD or flash drive using your computer. If that is what you want I don’t know anything about that.www.RLMcDaniel.com

no, the usb on the TT is so you can record the record WHILE IT PLAYS. there is no ripping in analog......
Did you really think I thought you could record a record without it playing, like a cd?no I dont believe you thought that.but it would be a very browns fan thing to think...._____________________________________SIGNATURE________________________________________________

I'd have to agree with @mrussel1 on this. I think bluetooth defeats the point of getting a turntable. Especially when you often see the cheapest TT's (like Crosley) advertising Bluetooth and USB features.
My Dad was looking for an under $500 turntable recently. I advised him to go with an Orbit. I know he's not that tech savvy, and the Orbit tonearm comes balanced out of the box, so I thought it was a good match for him. They have a pre-amp option as well. You should look at their website, you can custom build your TT.
Pro-ject is also something to look at. For the price you get a nice tonarm, probably better than most TT's in that range. And they're easliy upgradable which is bonus. There are options to improve the platter, cartridge, power supply, etc, so if you don't want to lay out a lot now, you can gradually increase the performance.
Question- what will you be running it through? Type of amp, speakers?

Thanks everyone. You have convinced me to stir clear of BT. And like I said, I probably would never use it anyway. I really appreciate all of the advice. I still have no clue what I'm going to get though.www.RLMcDaniel.com

1. Does your integrated amp or pre amp have a phono stage today?
2. Do you really think you will to to digitize your records? That's the only reason you need a USB.0 -
Even though I have had my turntable for only a little over a year - I am itching to upgrade. This is the one I want:

As for the digitalizing records, I don't know...knowing me, I seriously doubt I will. But saying that, I have so many records that I do not have a digital copy of and I wish I did (for on the go listening). But again, I doubt I will ever use it. Maybe in the beginning?www.RLMcDaniel.com

Questions for the tech savvy here. My ATLP150 has a phono/line switch, and my Marantz has a phono input. How should that be connected? I think I have it phono out from the table, to phono in on my Marantz.www.cluthelee.com0

edit - I'm sorry, I thought you were saying you had a Marantz TT.
So I would read the instructions to be 100% sure becuase it can be confusing. GENERALLY speaking, the phono switch means you connect it to the phone input on your Marantz. Line level would typically mean connect to the line level (generic input) because the signal is line level (AKA amplified). But it's super important that you read your manual to be sure. And when you connect, start with teh volume off and then slowly increase it to be safe. You don't want to blow your speakers.Post edited by mrussel1 on0 -
