Does anyone know of an amp that includes Bluetooth and a phono stage, budget up to £500 but ideally £300 if it can be managed? I'm trying to declutter a bit.

Got an Alpha 7 for sale - no bluetooth, but does the rest...

I doubt you'll find a straight-forward BT amp, but Airplay is pretty common.
You wouldn't go far wrong with one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Yamaha-R-N500-BLACK-Network-Amplifier-Airplay/dp/B00GRZXUTU
Bloody good amps, always get top reviews, along with Onkyo, but I don't know if Onkyo do an Airplay amp.
Well inside your budget at £350

I swear by Yamaha amps. Mine doesn't have BT, but there's an official (overpriced) dongle to add that functionality.

Check out Richer, they usually have good deals on Yam receivers.

I never used bluetooth on anything before, usually use wifi or ethernet. Whats the bluetooth for?

Thanks for all the suggestions, the BT is so we can Spotify from the Hudl. The Fatman looks good but I'd like to get rid of my external phono amp.
