In Reply to: RE: Do you have streaming capability on your main vinyl system? posted by RHerring on February 02, 2017 at 11:32:19
Absolutely.
I got one of those little bluetooth boxes for $40 from Outlaw, plugged it into the "aux" on my Denon PMA-750 (soon to be a Yamaha CR 2020..yay!) and I connect the iPhone or Fire tablet or my netbook to it and stream away.
Those little boxes bring anything, no matter how old, right into the 20th century.
How does it sound? Who cares? It sounds good enough for a party or dinner or just puttering around the house. I'm equipping every vintage system I have with one.

The sound of the highly compressed Bluetooth CODEC is like listening to music on 8-tracks in the car, with the engine running, going thorough the carwash... it's just bizarre-sounding.
You're probably right but as I use it for background during parties and stuff like that it has never bothered me.
I guess if it did I would hook up to the aux directly through an adapter cable but since most popular (and free) streaming services compress the shit out of the stream anyway, what difference does it make?
If you're paying for a high rez stream that's different. However, when I want high rez I play a record. :)
