BLUETOOTH AND WIFI STREAMING
Bluetooth
Many don't realize that adding a Bluetooth receiver to a vintage amp or receiver is simple. All you need to do is purchase a compatible Bluetooth receiver, and connect it to the aux input, or a tape input. Do not connect it to your phono input. Only a turntable should be connected there. We typically stock and sell Bluetooth receivers.
WiFi Streaming
A Bluetooth connection requires that a device, usually a phone, is providing the streaming source. If you leave the room, or shut off the phone, the music stops. While the newer versions of Bluetooth do improve sound quality, Bluetooth is a compromise is sound quality.
Arylic S10
This is a WiFi streaming receiver. Yes, it can work as a Bluetooth receiver. More importantly, it can work as a stand alone streaming receiver. You do need a phone or tablet for setup, but once this is done, you can use the included remote to select music sources and control volume. The sound quality will be better than a Bluetooth connection, and you can take calls and turn off your phone if you like.
You can also attach a flash or hard drive with music files, and play them directly from the Arylic. This device can also play music from a Windows file share, and it has it's own aux input to connect another sound source. We usually have these in stock and setup for demo.
