Congrats on your new purchase.
I own and can strongly recommend the hitachi HT350
Just a random video from youtube.
Dad picked this up in 79 and it lay in a box for decades.
I dug it out a few months back.
Had to change a few caps. Grease a few spots.
Got a new cartridge from Aliexpress. (Don't be fooled they make some quality heads).
Most of the fancy cartridges being sold world over are coming out of China.
The clarity blew my brains. 2nd hand LPs in very good condition are easy to find all over the world even in India.
My daughter is in London if you know any places to bargain hunt used LPs let me know. She will be coming home for christmas.

This I doubt, but either way, there's an important distinction to be drawn between foreign companies with an established reputation for quality who manufacture in China (or have it done for them), and unknown domestic manufacturers who put out their own products.
Mostly what I've seen on AliExpress is budget cartridges, and the offerings are completely dominated by the AT3600L. The prevailing opinion seems to be that those are genuine Audio Technica cartridges made at AT's own factory in China.
