Looking for a good vinyl player
Rega Planar is my go to. Depending on specs, you can go from $600 to unlimited money. I'm very happy with my 1+.

A true BIFL turntable available new that isn't completely over the top price wise would be the Technics SL-50C, if you would like a direct drive model, or a Rega Planar 2 or possibly the Planar 3. The Technics has a built-in phono preamp that can be switched off, so it can be used with either powered speakers, or connected to an amplifier or receiver that then drives passive speakers.

I (19M) need help with the mentality of "Buy it For Life" itself
I have a record player from the 1980s I bought for life. company still makes turntables. Rega Planar Model. I have an amp I just parted with (for audiophile use) Mark Levinson that was amazing. I just bought a True Tone power supply for my guitar stuff that's likely going to work for 10 to 15 years . I have guitars that date back to the 1940s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s that work just fine!!! You got it though it's those every day things---my Victorinox SAK--had it my whole life and a second one they service -done it twice when the scales broke. I have old double edge razors that are well over 100 years old that I got in shoe boxes at flea markets that just keep going and going (had them in daily use for myself over 40 years). Straight edge razors same. I have a fountain pen (I don't use it) but with ink it still works. Quality hand tools are GREAT. Cast iron frying pans in daily use that are well over 100 years old . A leather jacket I picked up in Europe at a street market new---45 years in use --not a button has come off. My motorcycle (Triumph) is 25 years old and I've only needed to replace cables, update the chain, headlight, service the breaks. Vices and Anvils, A butcher block table well over 80 years old---Danner boots that keep going and going. My shoe shine kit that's over 70 years old (was my dad's passed to me). Kitchen utensils----I love this old stuff, cleans up well, works daily , keeps going. I even have our families old rotary phone from the 1960s that I changed some wiring to (as a goof)--and it will ring as an internet phone next to my computer. GAF view masters, stereo opticons, magnifying glasses, an old old swing line stapler and hole punch-----

I personally love Rega. I believe iirc the Planar 1 had an integrated phono stage. So you could use an adapter to Bluetooth from there. Enjoy the music and have fun with it.
