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,

I determined what I'm interested in.

Blutooth - To play songs from my iphone.

Streaming would be spotify and/or maybe tidal.

Would love to have a device that does both, but if not then I'm looking for two that will do the same

There a TT's that are able to Play the Vinyl and replay the music through Bluetooth Speakers.

The SQ is going to be the challenge, and I am feeling that there will be Bluetooth Speakers that can make a better account of themselves that a Bluetooth enabled TT.

There is a growing trend with the Younger Generations with an interest in Vinyl Replays that are adopting this methodology to have the Tangible Experience of Owning and Replaying Vinyl. 

I do not know if a Standalone Bluetooth ancillary is available to be used in conjunction with a TT that has a recognised improved performance and Wireless Blue Tooth Speakers.

You need airplay then. Bluetooth is inferior.

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