AmazonBasic? You wanna kill him? This one should work a lot better
Turn it into one of these.
Based on my research (blame Google if I’m wrong), you’ll need a 3.5mm stereo to RCA cord. Here’s one. Due to impedance mismatching (it’s a sciencey-wiencey thing), your all-in-one record player might not sound very good connected to an external amplifier. Also, it will look kind of ghetto with the cord hanging out of the front.
As soon as you can afford it, I’d recommend upgrading to a record player with RCA jacks on the back. Don’t worry, you won’t have to break the bank - I found one that features RCA output for only $30. Here.
Regarding your computer speakers, those are typically “powered” (unless they’re broken), so you’ll need passive speakers to connect to that amplifier. The best source for those is driving around early in the evening on garbage night, or checking your local Goodwill. Speakers without a built-in amplifier have been out style since the start of the 2000s, so you should have no trouble scoring a deal.
As a side note, sometimes old speakers have rotted foam surrounds. This is easily repairable with a can of expanding foam from any home improvement store. Just remove any loose bits of existing rotted foam and spray in a new bead of foam around the speaker cone. Make sure you allow the foam to fully cure before playing any tunes.
Nah, I randomly burn a disc for the car a couple times a year.
They can still be bought though:

I highly recommend Dori Hadar's book on Mingering Mike. It really is an amazing story
I'm bringing "The Osmonds' Greatest Hits"! It's a 2-record set. Those guys <strong>RAWK!</strong>
I use these plus a receiver I got from Goodwill with my Heyday turntable. They're really nice.

I don't think a portable with replaceable cartridge exists, but I've been seriously considering one of these for a room in my house: https://smile.amazon.com/Victrola-Eastwood-Bluetooth-Turntable-VTA-72-BAM/dp/B08GKYNHH8?sa-no-redirect=1
I've got nice tables in the living room and my office, but the big room downstairs could use a turntable as well. I'm not going to obsess about ceramic cartridges and their slightly higher tracking force, but we can all agree they generally don't sound all that great. This thing, however, has essentially the same setup as an LP60. Not great, but certainly acceptable just to put a record on while doing something downstairs.
In all honesty I found these images off an honest review for sleeve protectors on Amazon
(100) 12" Double Oversize Record Outer Sleeves - Fits Most Box Sets up to 1.25" - Archival Quality Virgin Heavy Duty 3mil Thick Polyethylene #12SE03DO https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001712PZE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_CX1WQNS77DAXQ8Z4Z3QG
The Victrola VPro 2000slv on sale $69 usd. This is a decent introductory deck at an unbeatable price. Imo better than the LP60X. Switchable preamp and replaceable cartridge. Features stroboscopic aluminum platter, adjustable counterweight, anti-skating adjustment, and speed control with quartz lock . Bluetooth and usb.

I'm half joking half serious and jerking on the set up in OP's pic and making a general statement about the stupid shit people will use to decorate their homes, even going so far as having records for display purposes only, and even having fake books

Here is the product i was talking about

If you play them on anything less than this you are committing blasphemy.
You're gonna need one of these. Kind of pricey though at $10 for a pack of 8.
You can find album frames all over, including the Innerwebs. And you can find blank record jackets, also on the Innertube:

I do give them points for calling if a record player not a TT. Some poor guy in r/turntables was looking for help improving his setup and the "TT" he bought had the word decoration in the description.
Vinyls players this hot should only be sold in a buddle with smoke detector, fire extinguisher and a stern warning from smokey the bear.
I got Hudson HIFi wall stands. They are like little plastic shelves, don’t damage records and you can just grab your records straight off the wall. Always leave your records in sleeves though if you have them on the wall or they’ll be dust magnets.
Duct tape is a bit tacky imho. If you really want it to look clean try Gorilla Glue super permanent double sided tape. Just be careful that it WILL damage the paint when you do your monthly re-shuffle of vinyls TicTok. That’s ok because another one will cover it up. Just don’t let your parents know. Some gatekeeping Civic driving boomer told me this will ruin the sleeves or something. Idk what he says cause it’s only the back and no one wants to look at that anyway.
I saw someone posted this one earlier it should pair nicely with the new Adele vinyl
I'll see your Pink Panther Punk and raise you a picture disc.

This is indeed very rare. Here's what the special player looks like. I can send you one that I've had since 1899 for 100k

That.
I don’t understand your question. If there’s no headphone jack, you need speakers. If you’re on a budget, I’m sure goodwill has options. I bought mine on Amazon and use them for Bluetooth and to connect to my tv as well. Record players are investments.

I have a dozen of these full of graliz, and need about 6 more to get the rest safely stored. I wait until Amazon has a free international shipping promotion to buy them.
It is definitely not. Its a pretty good turntable and it sounds great https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Turntable-Bookshelf-Speakers-Cartridge/dp/B07H8VG9BB/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=1byone+record+player&pd_rd_r=29c81db3-3704-451c-8545-ea674b266ad8&pd_rd_w=K2MS9&pd_rd_wg=mhcuA&pf_rd_p=5d249...
Not beefier. That's literally a sideways Crosley Cruiser inside a cabinet.
I have no idea how it holds the stylus on the record, and I'm pretty sure I don't want to know.
I wish Kickstarters had a comment section so I could mention that Amazon has these for $19.
Also Amazon is telling me there are only 19 left, so it's even more unique!
i have this too, its actually a mcsweeny's magazine. haha (and maybe worth some dough now!) https://www.amazon.com/McSweeneys-Issue-36-Dave-Eggers/dp/1934781746
I think the whole point to the post just flew over your head!
anyway here's the details
JUST CAME!!!
Edit: you need some of this on your vinyls!
