So you don't care if it sucks, why ask for suggestions? Just buy the cheapest thing you can possibly find?

I have a "Innovative Technology" brand entertainment system. it has a tape deck, a cd player, fm/am antenna and a turntable. And built in speakers. its dece, if i listen through headphones the internal speakers are still working (but REALLY quietly) and getting a radio station depends greatly upon where you are in relation to the unit, but FUCK IT! i'm listening to records in my kitchen while i cook!
