Share
Jam Bluetooth Turntable Overview
The JAM Audio Bluetooth Turntable functions as an affordable solution for people who enjoy vinyl music through wireless connectivity. Users can stream audio directly to Bluetooth speakers or headphones through its integrated Bluetooth transmitter for easy wireless connections.
Pros
Wireless Convenience: Bluetooth streaming to compatible devices without needing extra gear.
Built-in Speakers: Great for casual listening out of the box.
Affordable Price Point: Makes vinyl accessible for entry-level users.
Modern Design: Compact and stylish, appealing to younger vinyl newcomers.
Cons
Sound Quality Limitations: Bluetooth compression and a basic cartridge can result in loss of detail compared to wired or higher-end setups.
No Wi-Fi Support: Lacks the fidelity and stability of Wi-Fi streaming found in devices like the A2D2 Stream.
Limited Upgradeability: Fixed cartridge and limited output options make it less suitable for growing into a more serious Hi-Fi setup.
Using JAM Audio with A2D2 Stream: A Smart Workaround
Verdict
The JAM Audio Bluetooth Turntable provides an excellent entry-level vinyl listening experience for users who want straightforward operation. The JAM turntable becomes a superior product when combined with an A2D2 Stream because it provides whole-home high-quality wireless audio and cross-platform compatibility which the JAM turntable cannot deliver independently.
