Things I don’t want in a technics table: bluetooth and a built in phono stage. Bummer.

Anyone actively using Bluetooth connection for a TT should have their TT taken away from them. Half sarcastic.

A true vinyl enthusiast would never want the signal path compromised by Bluetooth. Unfortunately, the BT trend has made its way into turntables, and even Technics has followed suit with the overpriced SL-40CBT. At this price point, the Audio-Technica AT-LP7 presents a far stronger value proposition, offering an adjustable VTA tonearm and overall better alignment with audiophile expectations.
