First turn table
Pass on that setup. The better Fluance to buy is the RT82 or higher that add a speed sensor for lower wow and flutter and speed variation and the speed won't drift over time. The older RT80, RT81 and the RT81+ don't have the speed sensor. If you want powered speakers... For a large room or a medium

Upgrading wife from a suitcase record player

Best option for a 13yr old
Pass on the AT-LP60 that had some issues when it was new and can have even more issues used. If you are going to buy a used bare minimum AT-LP60 then at least get the new X version AT-LP60X that fixed the issues that the older AT-LP60 had. The better Denon DP-300F $249 on sale upgrades to an adjusta

Advice on gift?
For $180 you get low quality components with low quality control and the cheap speakers are the worst part. Most anything good and worth buying can cost twice as much. The bare minimum AT-LP60X $139 on sale at least has better quality control and is easy setup beginner plug and play. Better entry le

Looking at the AT LP70X or LP120USB
AT-LP70X is entry level fully automatic and easy setup beginner plug and play with a fixed tonearm and fixed cartridge. Better turntables upgrade to an adjustable tonearm and a removable cartridge: AT-LP3X is automatic. AT-LP120X $349 originally $499 is a step up manual with cue lever, has a better
