mijostyn- If winter drags on, maybe you could cobble some USA made models together https://www.cerchioghisallo.shop .  
The problem with streaming
The ONLY problem with streaming is... depending on an internet connection. Otherwise, it's fa fantastic way to hear new music. I listen to music to escape the computer, though I do enjoy web browsing while listening to...RADIOWAVES. Still liste... 
N.P.I. What is it?

Phono cables
Ever try the ol component video cable-the 3 wire we all used for the VHS/ DVD player?  Another good, cheap phono cable alternative. The shielding makes them quiet and perfect for phono cable.    
Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it?

At the price point ,overall construction and what it's gonna be connected to- would be my concern. Phono stage and cartridge are more important-IMO.  Save the A.N. for later.
