Reddit mentions of Bluetooth Audio Adapter for Music Streaming Sound System, esinkin W29-us Wireless Audio Adapter Works with Smart Phones and Tablets, Wireless Adapter for Speakers

The equalization and level on the phono inputs won't give desirable results.

I'd use one of the tape inputs with a Bluetooth adapter like this
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016NUTG5K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_3RXQDbJKV9ZQ1

If your tape inputs are already in use, add an rca switch like this so you can connect more than one device to the same input.

There may be better versions of these devices out there. I just linked the first search results on Amazon to help provide clarity.

Oh sorry, I missed that photo! Yes, that is the hookup for left channel and right channel speakers. When hooking up, red is positive, black is negative. As others have said, you may have to use the “banana plug” hookups, but I can’t quite tell from the photo. Might just need regular speaker wire. It’s possible that there are more of these ports, but also seems likely that all the speakers could just be hooked into this input.

You’ll need an audio receiver to hook into it, as well as some sort of audio source, like a CD player, radio, turntable etc. You could also plug something like this Bluetooth adapter into the audio receiver input and stream audio to it from a mobile device. Would be especially handy if this setup is in an inconvenient spot.

EDIT to include link to Bluetooth adapter.

This is no longer the case...

If you want to integrate AirPlay into your setup, you need to add one of the newer models.

The Bluetooth solution isn't a terrible one, as long as it can reach. If it does, you can buy a permanent plug in style: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016NUTG5K/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_vWZ0Db9YKNDHM

Just leave this on all the time and connect when you want to use it.

I mean, pretty simple to search.

You can use your phone/tablet as the player and hook up a cheep Bluetooth receiver like this one. https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Adapter-Streaming-Wireless-Speakers/dp/B016NUTG5K

Looks like one of the smsl models or something similar. There’s several micro stereo amplifiers out there these days that get pretty solid reviews!

I bought this for my dad to power some small Boston acoustics satellite speakers he found at a goodwill. Added a subwoofer and a Bluetooth receiver and he’s a happy camper.

If you ever want a cheap solution to stream bluetooth to your 609 and don't want to shell out $50 for the Onkyo dongle get this Esinkin Bluetooth adapter. I did and it works really well. You can stream any audio service from your phone/tablet to it bluetooth. Might make not upgrading a little more worth it to you.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016NUTG5K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

AptX is supposedly the best. i use this one posted below and it works well and don't notice any drop in audio quality.

https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Adapter-Streaming-Wireless-Speakers/dp/B016NUTG5K/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1520619164&sr=8-4&keywords=bluetooth+receiver

You can get a Bluetooth reciever for like $20 that can plug into any existing speakers you already have. The Chromecast Audio is also very good as well, though I don't know how well it works with Audible.

This is the model I have and it works great.

you're just trying to use the sub to add some base to the NHT's? should be able to just get an RCA to 3.5mm cable and use the Tape Rec RCA ports, into the 3.5mm audio input jack on your Cambridge powered set. just don't plug in the satellite speakers, and it will act like a powered sub.

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=rca+to+3.5mm+cable

usually you'll need to hit a button to enable the "tape out" mode on the receiver, and it just splits the source to those RCA jacks in the back, in addition to sending it to the speakers.

-

spend a little more on the DAC and you get blue tooth as well.

https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Adapter-Streaming-Wireless-Speakers/dp/B016NUTG5K/

-

you'll have volume control on your sources, and just just turn the knob as needed :)

if you must have a remote, any $20 programmable generic remote will likely have denon codes.

there's probably an app you can get for your phone, if your cell has an IR output.

You can use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016NUTG5K to connect bluetooth.

Hi Reddit,

I am not yet an audiophile, but have been doing some research as I'm inheriting a hi-fi system comprised of the following:

-Luxman M-113 stereo amplifier

-Luxman M-120A stereo amplifier

-Counterpoint SA-5000 Preamplifier with power supply

-2 VPMS RM1 speakers (8 Ohms)

-Pro-Ject Audio Debut Carbon turntable

I live in an apartment, so it is completely unrealistic to keep all this gear. I have the option to keep/buy more/sell existing hardware however I see fit in order to achieve the following two goals:

1. Ability to stream via Bluetooth audio from a record on the turntable to the VPMS RM1 speakers on the other side of the living room. I don't mind minor quality degradation due to bluetooth, but absolutely cannot run wire and the turntable will not be placed near receiver.
   
   
2. As small of a hardware footprint as possible. System does not need to be loud.
   
   After some research I have found these three products - will they, in combination, allow me to achieve my goals? Maybe I'm on the right track but chose terrible hardware?
   
   
3. A turntable preamp which the Debut Carbon will go directly into - something like https://www.amazon.ca/Pyle-Pro-PP444-Compact-Turntable-Preamp/dp/B004HJ1TTQ/ref=sr_1_2
   
   
4. Bluetooth audio transmitter which the preamp will out to - something like https://www.amazon.ca/Bluetooth-Streaming-Esinkin-Wireless-Receiver/dp/B016NUTG5K/ref=pd_ybh_a_4
   
   
5. Bluetooth compatible audio receiver - something like https://www.amazon.ca/Pyle-Pro-PDA5BU-Bluetooth-Amplifier-Readers/dp/B00LI4L1LO/ref=sr_1_4
   
   Also if anyone has any idea how much those amps & preamps might be worth used please let me know. I would probably lean towards keeping them in storage though, so I can appreciate them when I have room to actually have them out. The turntable and speakers I can keep as is I probably?

Off the top of my head:

• First aid kit (used it more than I thought I would that year)
  
• Extra seating (foldable chair(s) at least)
  
  Quick tangent: the coolest room on my floor in FT was a double. They bunked their beds and arranged their beds to be bunked together. They then put a futon and chairs in their room and had plenty of space for friends to hang out. You will not regret trying to be like these guys.
  
  
• Desk chair cushion (I recommend this one; stay away from Walmart/Target's shitty ones)
  
• Cool lamp or some form of alternative to the flourescent lighting when you're just hanging out
  
• a few small knick-knacks to liven up the place
  
• WALL DECOR. Get a cool tapestry (urbanoutfitters.com has cool ones), some sort of poster -- anything!
  
• A twin XL mattress pad
  
• Extra sheets
  
  Another tangent: I had a darling girl over one fateful night in FT, and I'm really glad I met her. After she left, however, I was even more glad that I had an extra pair of sheets because I noticed that she managed to smear her face makeup all over my sheets and pillowcase.
  
  
• Some sort of speakers with a sub. I can recommend some good speakers, but an even better idea if you have existing ones is to buy an adapter like this, and use bluetooth to connect your speakers to your phone and laptop.
  
• Fan(s). If you're in a double, you can get away with 1-2 fans. If you're in a triple, I recommend 2-3 fans. Vornado is a good brand. If you're living on campus and not in FT, I would get a small fan with a clip. You'll want to attach this to your desk shelf (FT doesn't have these shelves).
  
  
• Sleeping bag/blanket(s)/extra pillow(s). These will be useful in case someone crashes at your place and you don't want to cozy up with them in your tiny bed.
  
• Shower caddy and shower flip flops
  
• Baskets of some sort to organize your stuff
  
  I know you are trying to reduce costs, but I included some seemingly unnecessary things on this list because your dorm room is your home for the year. Having a little bit of decor and extra seating makes all the difference in terms of your happiness.
  If you have any questions, feel free to ask; good luck!

No, your tv has only optical and RCA audio output. You'll have to buy an adapter/transmitter like this one for optical, or this one for RCA. You could probably find a cheaper transmitter.

this seems like the kind of goodwill find that allows you to pass the love of vintage on to someone who will fall in love with it and continue the hobby. Buy it, do some cleaning, gift it. Get them some similar grade speakers and one of those bluetooth receivers from Amazon, and you will have done some good in the world.

According to people:

I know this is a little old, but do you have this device and if so how do you like it? Was looking at that one or the Esinkin which looks identical. Thanks!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016NUTG5K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I’ve bought a couple. The first one was a no frills BT receiver. This one:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B016NUTG5K/ref=sspa_mw_detail_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It worked, but the range was poor. My phone had to be close to, and in line of sight of the receiver, or I’d have connection drop outs.

The other issue was Bluetooth itself. I was sending music from my iPhone, either stored on the phone itself or from Spotify. I could hear the Bluetooth compression added to the music.

So I bought another BT device from eBay, a Chinese knock off of a $200 Audioengine branded device. Same Qualcomm chip inside, so the exact same specs. It features Apt-X and AAC over Bluetooth, so much better quality than the standard BT protocol. I could clearly hear the difference. And the range was massively improved. This is the one:

https://www.blitzwolf.com/Bluetooth-V5.0-aptX-HD-Music-Receiver-Transmitter-p-262.html

Don’t lock yourself in to Bluetooth on the receiver. There are always add on Bluetooth receivers you can get later like this . The advantage with this method is that as Bluetooth technology changes (which happens every few years) your receiver won’t become out dated

The car amps have rca in, right?
You can try a standalone Bluetooth receiver, usually outputs to 1/8'' mini (3.5 mm). Get a mini to rca and an rca splitter and hit both amps, analog rca in.

This device even has both 1/8 and rca out.

I have this one, and it works great:

If you have your PC plugged into the USB on the element, buy a Bluetooth Audio Adapter and plug it into your RCA-in as a separate input.

https://www.amazon.ca/Bluetooth-Streaming-Esinkin-Wireless-Receiver/dp/B016NUTG5K/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Bluetooth+Audio+Adapter&qid=1556471751&s=gateway&sr=8-1

I use this with my headphones, it would be easily compatible with the speaker. If you want a more polished solution, it would also be possible to install something like this inside the enclosure.

I decided against that because I wanted the whole thing to be as simple as possible.

Hey everyone. I think I figured it out. Another thing I failed to mention was that it wasn't consistently doing this crackling sound. To better describe it, it would get quieter than the other speaker and it sounded like it had interference. Anyway, I put the back panels back and set them back up. I have some friends over so I put on a vinyl record. No problems at all. Then I connected my phone via this Bluetooth receiver and it started crackling again. I realised every time I've had this problem it's been when I'm using this receiver. So thanks for your help! I'm just stupid.

Okay, last question lol. Becuase I'm tight on budget, the A2+ might be my best bet right now. If I go with that and buy a Bluetooth receiver, would any of the following suffice?

• Bose
  
• Inateck
  
• Logitech
  
  
• Esinkin
  
  Really appreciate your help with all of this!

I would get an Echo Dot. Seeing as you already have an Amazon Echo, you can probably connect the two and get whatever additional functionality that provides. I own an Echo Dot and I use it to control my amp, which directly controls my speakers and sub. Since it takes a minute to power up, I would just have it on and plugged into the wall. Or if you want it to be directly powered by the receiver, there might be a USB port or a AC plug on your receiver.

I got my Echo Dot for $35 on Prime Day, but I think they're like $50 now.

---

Edit: If you don't want to use an Echo Dot, here's what I found on Amazon.

I appreciate your creativity.

​

So I'll plug my speakers into this via RCA and then connect to it on my TV via bluetooth. But will that let me control the volume level through the TV remote?

Hi everyone, I'm completely new to this so I hope i'm not sounding too dumb. I inherited an old hifi system. It has several components including a Dual CV 1260 and a pair of these speakers I could not identify. My audio collection mainly consists of CDs and some flacs on a Sony NW-A45.

My question is : Can I use the bluetooth function of the walkman through something like this bluetooth receiver to connect to the amp and play my music, or do i need Jack to RCA cables and use it that way ?

Thanks in advance for answers

Definitely a consideration for me. Having my son at the time crawling/walking/grabbing/chewing/slobbering on everything makes you put away anything you don't want broken real quick.

I ended up being so pleased with the little Topping amp and the Dayton speakers though it's what I still prefer over the older Carver stuff.

Haven't tried the a5+ so can't give any feedback there. For bluetooth though I bought [a little bluetooth receiver just like this one:] (https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Streaming-Esinkin-Wireless-Speakers/dp/B016NUTG5K/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1486673883&sr=8-5&keywords=bluetooth+receiver) and it has worked great for me. So whatever you end up with adding bluetooth is super easy.

As you stated correctly, someone with a bigger wallet might not agree or understand. I've always gone by the logic though that a good stereo is one that gets listened to. My everyday life for the foreseeable future (7 year old kid, 3 month old puppy and not a huge house) doesn't really fit into having a dedicated listening room/area with high end components. So until then I want something that makes me want to listen to my music. The setup I have right now does exactly that.

Are you just wanting make some old speakers bluetooth compatible? Because there are plenty of existing products that do that job. Example

I am really confused by the article.. it seems like a LOT of work to make your own BT adapter. Why does it need to talk to the cloud to use BT? I feel like there's some additional functionality it adds but as far as I can see in the tutorial it just acts like a normal BT device.. why does it need the cloud for that?!

I guess a Pi is cheaper than most of the adapters on Amazon, but we're talking about a few bucks in the end.

Yes, but I think we need to get on the same page here. Your TV has a Toslink digital output - you're wanting to convert that digital to analog with a DAC. That analog signal needs to go somewhere, like powered speakers or a receiver.

In that case TV Digital Out -> DAC -> Stereo or Active Speakers

You also want a USB input for your phone. Is that for charging your phone? Most phones don't integrate via USB, they do wirelessly via Bluetooth or Airplay. If your stereo doesn't support either, you'll need a device that you can connect to via bluetooth, and send that signal to your stereo or active speakers.

In that case Phone's Bluetooth -> Bluetooth Receiver -> Stereo or Active Speakers

As others have said, simply search Amazon for "Bluetooth Receiver" and pick one you like in a price range you can afford. You will find hundreds of them.

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=bluetooth+receiver&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

And then using, most likely, RCA-RCA cable of the appropriate length, connect the Bluetooth Adapter to the CD Input on the Amp, and logically select CD on the front panels source selector of the Amp.

https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-2-Male-RCA-Audio-Cable/dp/B01D5H8P0G/

Though there are many similar RCA-RCA Cables to choose from -

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=RCA+cable&i=electronics&ref=nb_sb_noss_2

You would prefer to have a Bluetooth Adapter that supports version 4.0 or higher, and that has the APT-X or APT-X HD feature.

The ESINKEN and the LOGITECH look pretty much identical, check the specs, but likely either one will do, both about $22 -

https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Bluetooth-Audio-Adapter-Streaming/dp/B00IQBSW28/

https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Adapter-Streaming-Wireless-Speakers/dp/B016NUTG5K/

Range on the above is pretty much standard at 30ft to 50ft line-of-sight.

There are better Bluetooth Devices, but they cost a bit more money -

https://www.amazon.com/Avantree-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Receiver-Certified/dp/B01H6I3YGK/

https://www.amazon.com/Avantree-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Receiver-Simultaneously/dp/B07BQYYDNJ/

Again, how far do you want to take it, because there are Bluetooth Devices that can go well above $100.

I’m all for neat DIY projects, but you really just need a new 5.1 channel receiver. If the budget is a concern, you can find a cheap receiver from a pawn shop, yard sale, Craigslist, etc. and then dedicate one of the inputs to a bluetooth adapter:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016NUTG5K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_08ftDbCAB9VET

Alternatively, nearly all new home theater receivers come with Bluetooth and potentially Wi-Fi streaming capabilities, along with neat HDMI passthrough stuff your old home-theater-in-a-box likely lacked. More expensive, but worth looking into if you still want to keep those particular speakers.

And if you were looking for more of a distributed, whole-home audio set up, all you need is the aforementioned receiver and more speaker wire — cleverly hiding that can be quite the DIY project in itself. (That would likely require a dedicated streaming device or AirPlay-esque WiFi streaming to avoid Bluetooth range issues though.)

Your 3.5mm to Bluetooth should work too.

This device linked below should also work.

https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Adapter-Streaming-Wireless-Speakers/dp/B016NUTG5K

https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Adapter-Streaming-Wireless-Speakers/dp/B016NUTG5K/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=bluetooth+receiver&qid=1565476316&s=gateway&sr=8-4

3.5 mm End is in your phone so it may be the 3.5 mm jack in the phone.? Or the 3.5 mm to rca cable.
Maybe try a Bluetooth adapter on the receiver

Have you tried looking?

A bit of Googling found this: Bluetooth Audio Adapter for Music Streaming Sound System, esinkin W29-us Wireless Audio Adapter Works with Smart Phones and Tablets, Wireless Adapter for Speakers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016NUTG5K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_0j5pDbM6PA5CK

Part 1: https://www.amazon.com/Mpow-Bluetooth-Receiver-Streambot-Hands-Free/dp/B00MJMV0GU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1518461699&sr=8-4&keywords=3.5mm+bluetooth+adapter+battery

You plug part 1 into whoever wants to play music. They can control the level coming out of their headphone jack.

Part 2: https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Adapter-Streaming-Wireless-Speakers/dp/B016NUTG5K/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1518461717&sr=8-4&keywords=bluetooth+receiver

You plug part 2 into the aux port of your stereo. You pair part 1 & 2 together. You can control the volume of your stereo and the person with the bluetooth transmitter can control the volume coming from their device. Therefore, both can control the volume. However, of course, there is an upper level. If they turn their phone up all the way, your stereo can still turn it down

I'm not familiar with the NVIDIA SHIELD TV, but I bought a stereo Bluetooth adapter and just plugged it into the AUX input on my sound system and it works great.

This one.
