Crosley should be arrested for selling junk
First off, the original post was tongue in cheek. No one is being arrested.Second, just like poisonous additives in food, the manufacturer should be held accountable for junk products designed to fool the ignorant and maximize profits. It’s easier... 
From Canada to USA - buying used stereo from private sale
I bought approx $1000 item from Canada-based vendor. No customs issues. 
Speakers
Probably blown. They were only rated 5watts. Make sure the 4uF cap is working.  Some guy repaired them by winding his own coils using 44 guage and thin paper and lacquer.  
Your system struck by lightning? What did you learn?
Lightning hit gutter and roof. Big flash and a bang. Smelled burning. Called fire dept. Lost $2600 refrigerator, modem and router, coffee maker, clock radio, a few LED bulbs and 2 breakers. A fuse blew in phono preamp. No other damage. No whole-ho... 
How are speakers improved?
1. Piano black and 2. quadruple the price. 
Anybody added a full vinyl setup to system? And?
Try get that whole DAC/ADC thing out of the loop.  
Does Age Matter?
All the young folk playing records on Crosley’s guarantee a future supply of VG vinyl media stock on Discogs. 
TT upgrade for me
@jbuhl Is this for the wine bar? If so, the Sota may be the right choice. It is impervious to banging, thumping, vibration and knocks.  
TT upgrade for me
LOL......I thought about it.Although, if you have springy floors, Sota may be better choice. Especially if you jump around with a baton! The 401 excels on concrete floor. 
TT upgrade for me
Technics 1200GR. Save a little longer for the better choice.  
TT upgrade for me
@bkeske I see a 401 in your future!
