After looking around for a classically styled record player that had the mods of radio/aux/input etc I settled on this, more for looks than anything. The sound quality is...retro...old records sound great on it but it is not a hifi - if big sound is more your thing it does come with a line out to input into your 2.1/5.1 system or HiFi.
All the modern bits are at the back, apart from the USB input which is at the side, but subtle enough to not be noticed. I haven't used the USB function yet (preferring the AUX input instead for my ipod)
