So my record player is super old, I bought it used a long time ago and have replaced the needle a time or two, but it's dying now and only has phono output, etc. Looking for something newer (maybe capable of recording out to mp3?) and also something that has a lid that closes. My cats are little devils and they will jump on this shit at some point and I don't want to have a record (or the player, for that matter) ruined cause I have a dumb cat.
I know there are other topics on this (feel free to just link me), but any advice on something solid someone has bought before? Willing to spend a couple bills for quality, can't afford anything ridiculous though.
Thanks duders.
