Thanks. Interesting that besides Bluetooth the C100-BT also steps up to the AT95E cartridge over the C100

u/Ruchalus, the original C100 is $169 if you don't need Bluetooth.

That's the C100-BT model with Bluetooth output. If you don't need Bluetooth, the price drops down to $169: https://www.amazon.com/Crosley-C100A-SI-Turntable-Adjustable-Counterweight/dp/B016OVYIK6
