The model of record player you choose will have a direct impact on your experience.

At the bottom you have the cheap suitcase players with built-in speakers. These will play your records but the speakers aren’t great. People often find that many records won’t play well (or at all) on these cheap players. A record players is a machine and the cheap ones aren’t very tunable and have very low tolerances for scratched or imperfect records.

A nice player with a full size platter, anti-skate, and a counter weight will happily play the same records that won’t play on the cheap suitcase players. These more expensive players will not have built-in speakers so you also need amplified speakers or an amp+speakers. The sound quality will depend on what speakers you buy but will certainly be better than a suitcase player.

Then you have the high end luxury models. These can cost more than some cars! Are they worth it, well that’s up to you and your budget!

People want to believe because they wish badly for the money. Back in the late 90s my friends and I keep seeing papers advertising a guarenteed money making system for only $2.

Finallt one of my friends could not resist and ordered it.

He got instructions to put signs all over offering the money making system for $2.

“As you paid for it you can see that it works.”

Tipping when they visit places where it isn’t normal or expexted.

If you ask me, you are better off focusing on monitoring, fast detection, and auto-healing in a homelab rather than High Availability. I use an ancient tool called monit and newer tools like uptime kuma for this. Detection and restart is easier than having 2 of everything.

I’ve been using Quad9 DoH for a few months now. Very happy with it so far.
