It seems to me (which may not seem to anyone else), that a pretty good turntable, which this seems to be, would have a direct output, whether it’s buffered to separate it from the built-in preamp or just a pair of jacks. The other geegaws might appeal to an entry-level user, but to me, they just raise the price without raising its value.
The idea that the turntable shuts off without raising the arm at the end of the record also seems odd.
I don’t know who they are trying to sell to with that feature set.
