I’m a few years into collecting vinyl and have a very cheap/basic player.

Wanting to go up a step in the turntable world. Interested in getting a Bluetooth capable one and am looking at an audio-technica one on amazon for $250 that comes with BT speakers

Is this the way I should go or is there something better out there for the money I’m looking to spend? I really wanted to stay under 200 but finding that to be difficult for what I want.

Add about 100 on to your budget and get a Pro ject.

Are you currently using a receiver or are you playing off of built in speakers?
I’d recommend getting a receiver and you can use the turntable on one input and have other inputs for tv, BT, aux, etc.

This.

Typically when you buy a bundled system there will be compromises in the components. The Lp60 is a solid turntable so my guess is the speakers are mediocre. But maybe they are good enough for what you want. And I don't have any experience with bluetooth on a turntable but it seems like if you are listening to vinyl you wouldn't want the digital compression you get with a bluetooth connection. Maybe I'm wrong on this and someone else can chime in.
