I have a hipster buddy who owns a record player for the "sound quality" but then attaches it to a Bluetooth speaker so he doesn't "ruin the aesthetic" of his room.

I currently am suffering under the use of a pissy bluetooth low bandwidth speaker set, namely sony SRS-XB23. Which have extra double nastiness because they appear to use some kind of post-effect and tuned resonator chamber to provide more bass frequencies than the drivers can actually directly emit. The bass is phantom bass, and does not propagate nearly as strongly as it sounds through walls and doors.
I can feel the difference, because there's something somehow wrong... probably the fact that the bass frequencies my ears are being fooled into hearing, are not travelling through my desk nearly as much as their volume suggests they should be.

I also need to comment that IMO, a turntable without 3 way drivers and a nice 80s-90s era japanese speakers is a broken aesthetic.
I had a system that was the opposite way around in late 2021. Harman Kardon amplifier, Onkyo 3 way speakers with PIEZOs playing 48khz 16 bit audio from FLAC.
To me, the aesthetic of a music playing device is the QUALITY OF SOUND.
Anything else is like pink flamingos in the garden. Completely tasteless, like a John Waters movie.
