Victrola Stream Carbon

Great product. So easy to setup and play wirelessly over Sonos. Loving playing my vinyl collection throughout my flat.

After two replacements and failure of each model after 3 months I had to abandon this. Thankfully the UK supplier issued a full refund outside the warranty period Victrola in the States tried to offer solid support, but reality is while this sounds fantastic on initial purchase to have three models all fail with major issues after less than 4 months is totally unacceptable and the hassle and to and fro with the supplier and having to return the unit are just not worth the hassle, especially at the inflated price. Problems were the sound would suddenly get jittery and distorted, as if someone was turning the volume up and down very quickly, maling the results totally inaudible. To have this happen once was bad enough. To have it happen again on a second new model is unforgivable. Great idea but poorly executed, presumably because cheap failing components are being used (something Victrola has a reputation for). Such a shame as I fell in love with the product when it first arrived, but just not worth all the hassle and I believe there's a readon the price dropped by 25% after less than a year and now UK suppliers refuse to stock it.

Setup from opening the box to listening to the first album was less than 15 minutes. Super smooth with zero glitches. I’ve spun about a half dozen albums and have enjoyed perfect sound quality without glitches. A little pricey but worth it for the seamless connection with my whole home Sonos system. Highly recommended if you want to connect a turntable to Sonos.

There are cheaper options. I only got this as it syncs wirelessly with Sonos. Expensive for what it is

The unit was easy to set up, easy to use a d sounds great. I don’t have a Sonos sound system, but I was able to sync it with my Bose Ultra Soundbar system. The WiFi feature sounds better than the Bluetooth feature. The app interface was easy to use and understand.

This product deserves 0 stars. As a longtime music/audio enthusiast, huge record collector and longtime music journalist, NEVER have I ever experienced a more outrageous ripoff on an absolutely shoddy piece of equipment. I was never able to hear a single song at the correct speed - or even at one uniform speed!! Every song involved it switching from too fast (way too fast) to too slow (absurdly slow). The alleged speed adjustment knobs on the bottom of the turntable do nothing to adjust the speed even after I followed Victrola’s directions to T - it had no effect. I still cannot believe I paid $800 for this. And now I have to box it up for a return. Thumbs way down Victrola. Worst music audio purchase of my life, and it’s not even close.

The turntable is quality, but DO NOT BUY IF YOU ARE INTENDING TO USE IT FOR STREAMING. The app is an atrocity, is never fixed despite all the known issues, and fails to connect over and over. You can always eventually get it working, but this is not a situation where "it just works" like other Sonos devices. The app has to fiddled with every time you use the turntable. Default settings are lost, connections are lost, and on and on. This could be a great product if they would put effort into improving it. Otherwise, you can buy a similar quality turntable for much less without the streaming capability.
