[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a user, I’m incredibly impressed with the Victrola Stream Onyx Turntable. Setting it up was a breeze with the Victrola Stream app, and it connected to my Sonos system in seconds. The sound quality is phenomenal, rich, clear, and full of depth thanks to the premium cartridge and aluminum tonearm. I love the sleek, modern design and the illuminated volume knob that lets me control playback directly from the turntable. Whether I’m playing 33 1/3 or 45 rpm records, it delivers a smooth, vibrant listening experience throughout my home.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Victrola Stream Onyx is a neat device for vinyl enthusiasts like me that want to bridge the gap between the record collection and the Sonos speaker system setup. I like the main selling point which is the ability to stream vinyl albums directly to Sonos speakers via Wi-Fi. I also like that it comes with a bundled cartridge, where the primary factors influencing the audio experience is the Wi-Fi network's strength and the quality of the Sonos speakers. However, there are some trial and error during the initial setup process, whereby the RCA connection is not entirely reliable. Other than that, I think the Stream Onyx is a niche product that fills a specific need group of users that already has the Sonos speaker system setup.
I've now ordered and sent back my Stream Onyx twice. Don't get me wrong, the turntable works and looks great. The unboxing is a joy. Connection to my Sonos is a breeze. But in both cases the foil wrapping has come loose and bubbles near the bottom right of the platter. For a turntable in this league as far as price is concerned, I'd expect quality control at production to have spotted it.
If you want to mess with the app for 5-10 minutes before the record plays then this is the turntable for you. If you want the record to play immediately don’t buy this one. Relying on WiFi and the Victoria App in order to play a vinyl record is a big pain, not worth. I regret this purchase.
I love the ability to use Sonos beam/setup with a record player! That was the sole purpose of buying this record player. The WiFi function works decent and the app is just decent also. Sometimes WiFi doesn’t pick up and may have to reset WiFi but to have the sound quality through Sonos is the purpose. Yes it’s expensive but does it work YES. I got lucky bought refurbished so just know that the band is on the console as I almost returned due to missing parts. Overall I am happy with purchase to be able to play vinyl through speakers I already have! Side note I have 700 mbps internet so that also helps!
The player collects a lot of dusk with the finish. The player works as advertised. The sound to Sonos speakers is seamless. The app could use some work, you can’t adjust the volume in the app using your side buttons.
