Bluetooth vs Turntable Recommendations

Hey, 

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,

Another rec for Bluesound Node. If you aren’t passionate about vinyl it can be a super fussy way to listen to music. But if you want the experience of plug and play listening to music, streaming is the way and there isn’t the learning curve that comes with vinyl. I would also suggest doing something like Tidal and stream Tidal connect to the Node for better quality than just Bluetooth. 
I love my analog setup but it’s taken me a long time to get it all set up and dialed in to where I want it. Good luck and happy listening.

Totally agree with Mahler123, get a ifi zen bluetooth receiver for $190.00,  use it with  a Android tablet or phone that supports Ldac codec, and it is just simple,  trouble free and amazing sound,  much better than vinyl.  Don't let the price fool you.
