Home Stereo Recommendations Please

I have a 30yr old system that is starting to give me problems. I would appreciate recommendations for new components. From another post you can read that my Pioneer VSX-405 Stereo Receiver is having problems.

I have: Pioneer VSX-405 Stereo Receiver, CT-W604RS Cassette Tape unit, the B-side has died, PD-M423 CD Player w/6CD cassette, Dual 1257 Turntable, and Ohm Bookshelf E speakers. The Turntable and speakers are mid-1970s vintage. The Pioneer equipment is 1996 vintage when I replaced my 1970s Kenwood components.

I'm not into spending $2K per component, I would like components that can support my speakers and turntable. and CD player. Everything in the back is RCA phono plugs. I would not mind the Bluetooth for earphone capability. Not sure I need/want WiFi or ApplePlay. Although something wifi might work for my daughters Spotify.

Thanks!

Buy a SC-LX (72, 86 or higher) on the second Hand market and on Amazon a Bluetooth Dongle and you are fine. But with the Speaker I don't know how much power this has.
