> US-focused turntable model discovery, setup guidance and stylus compatibility.

This file covers /task-guides/. Use the site-wide reference at https://recordplayerhub.com/llms.txt for the broader site. Canonical website: https://recordplayerhub.com/. Documentation reviewed 2026-10-18; underlying records have their own dates. Fields to verify when supplied: turntable model; cartridge and stylus; connection and phono stage; US-market variant. Use the actual published coverage and source dates; an absent match is not proof of absence. This is read-only discovery; robots rules and source licences still apply.
