Right again. But it’s only a day, so let’s see.

About record player quality, you and I probably think about an AR turntable requiring RIAA equalization into a nice Kenwood etc. amp (I still have this, with Pioneer speakers).

Or we think about a one-foot square device you could fry an egg on that kids had in the bedroom, and would quickly grind an LP record to death. No line outputs of course.

But what I don’t know is how good recent turntables are, and what outputs they have, given the resurgence of LP records with audiophiles. This audiophile still has the original equipment so I never checked it out.
