Bluetooth vs Turntable Recommendations

Hey, 

I posted this in the Digital forum, but would like to get more adivce.My system consists of a pair of B&W 630's, an old Denon 50 watt reciever (DRA-550) from the mid 80's, a Marantz CD5004 cd player, and now am interested in maybe getting a bluetooth and/or a turntable upgrade.

I'm going to demo a Project Debut Carbon and  a Technics 1500C Turntables, but if I'm not happy with the quality I'm probably going to explore Bluetooth options.

Any recommendations would be be greatly appreciated,

Bluetooth vs Turntable

This shows you have done zero research on your own.

Read the forums - lots of good info here. Read reviews and start educating yourself. Figure out what streaming is then start asking for thoughts when you have some understanding and specifics that you’re trying to clarify. You got some help in your other thread as well but lacking basic knowledge is a non-starter.

You need airplay then. Bluetooth is inferior.

Keep doing your research. 💩 ton of info out there.

I gave you a recommendation. You do what you want with it - use it as a foundation to research further to keep narrowing down what suits your system and preference, follow up on it, or flat out throw it away. It’s totally up to you. You’ve done nothing so far to help yourself.
