Enjoy tunes the way you want to enjoy them and don't let others spoil that for you because they're elitist snobs who think there's only a specific way to listen to a piece of music.
I'm not buying a record player or turntable because vinyl produces better sound than CD or digital or there is a particular 'analog' sound I want to hear. It doesn't sound better. It is considerably worse than these alternatives in almost every respect imaginable: audio fidelity, transportability, media degradation, media storage, etc.
But I collect vinyl soundtracks, I want to play them, this suits my setup, and this will be streamed via Bluetooth to my standalone speaker and it is exactly what I want to do. So haters gonna hate!
Nah, I get that.
I had thought you lose some original quality going through bluetooth.
But I did remember aswell it does have audio out, which I had to just recheck.
Yeah, some people just like to complain. A lot of wasted energy goes into people whinging about something which has nothing to do with them.
I have a Sony turntable with bluetooth and have it set up to stream to my stereo pair of Nest Audios.
I get to use the Nest Audios to listen to Spotify by voice through Google Assistant, or if I want to listen to my Money for Nothing LP, I can do that too.
Best of both worlds!
The way they compress cds now the old vinyls they sounded better to the ears, I could stay ten hours listening to vinyls at max volume but I can't with cds
"It doesn't sound better. It is considerably worse than these alternatives in almost every respect imaginable: audio fidelity, transportability, media degradation, media storage, etc."
What on earth do you expect out of a sound burger, of course it's going to sound like crap and ruin your records lol.
Bluetooth isn’t really the main con of a unit like this, it’s the ease of damage you can do to vinyl both from being so exposed and from the quality of needle and head a unit like this is bound to have
If you’re playing opshop discs this’d be fine (tho overpriced)
It can sound better if you have a good needle, speakers, it's a good pressing and you maintain the record. CD has better consistent quality but it sounds very slightly different. I like CD but I like vinyl as well It's user preferences. Vinyl you can have some fun things with records that you can't do with CDs.
This turntable will probably be very good with a new needle and preamp to bookshelf speakers.I got this for my bday from the wife…would have gone for something a bit better but I'm stuck with it…and I am having difficulty getting it to be recognised via Bluetooth to my laptop and desktop…
why do you need to connect it to your pc? its Bluetooth out so it works with a speaker. if you want to record the records use an a/d converter with the line out
These are $257 again at JB!
I was about to buy this last time, but realised people were being shamed in the comments for buying a turntable with bluetooth. So I didn't.
