This vinyl comeback has also affected big companies. For instance, WH Smith has brought back selling vinyl records in more than 80 of its stores in the UK after a 30-year absence due to the increasing popularity of the physical music formats.

If you are a vinyl collector and want to find a way to link your old records with the new wireless smart speakers, then the A2D2 Stream is a great way to do it. It allows you to stream the music from your turntable wirelessly over Wi-Fi for crisp sound quality. The A2D2 Stream works with systems like Sonos and Denon/Marantz HEOS and works with Apple AirPlay and Chromecast, etc too. Its Bluetooth support that will be available as a free firmware update in April 2025 will be another addition to its features.
