SIAP, tried the search but…

Anyway, I’m looking for a decent record player to play 33/45. I’m not very knowledgeable about them, but trying to learn. I know my list of “must haves” include being able to replace the needle and having a decent built-in preamp. I’d also prefer to be able to connect to speakers via Bluetooth if possible. Budget is $500’ish or less.

Any suggestions?

That's a good budget to get a solid turntable. Having a built in preamp cuts down the potential choices, which is probably a good thing in a way b/c the resurgence of vinyl has a lot more candidates on the market to clutter the decision.

3 that I'd take a look at from companies with a solid rep in the turntable biz:

1) Pro-Ject T1, near your $ limit
2) Fluance RT81 Elite - about half your budget
3) Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB - closer to the limit and it also has a USB digital output if you ever want to archive LPs to a computer (for playing outside home or whatever).
