I'm fine with BT. It's convenient as Hell and I use it daily. That said, I'd never stream my turntable to active speakers. And I'd never opt for BT phones when going for a walk with a portable cassette player. If I go through all of the trouble of having an analog source and player, I don't understand the desire for a short cut that only removes the cord. That's 3-12 feet of "freedom" from a source that I am still tethered to, or in some cases literally carrying, for flipping sides or skipping tracks. And on top of that, I'll spend as much or more on the BT equipment to hear the music in an inarguably lower quality. Now, I recognize that I'm sounding like a luddite, so please understand that I use Roon and Qobuz in my home system. Digital audio can be very good and the DACs are improving all the time; my new external is habit changing. I even like the look and novelty of the BT cassette deck in question so, by all means, turn your teeth the deepest of blues and thanks for letting me shake my eFist and the digital rapscalions.
There's a big difference between winging it and seeing what happens. Now let's go see what happens.
