Victrola Stream Onyx - Wireless Wi-Fi Turntable, Works with Sonos - Black

I recently purchased this turntable and couldn’t be more thrilled with my decision. This turntable has exceeded my expectations, especially with its seamless integration with my Sonos speaker system. Setup was a breeze, connecting effortlessly to my Sonos speakers, and within minutes, I was enjoying my vinyl collection with the rich, immersive sound Sonos is known for. The sound quality is phenomenal, capturing every nuance of my records with a warm, authentic feel. The sleek design adds elegance to my living room, and its top-notch build quality feels durable and well-crafted. The convenience of controlling volume and playback directly from the turntable is fantastic, ensuring an easy and enjoyable listening experience. Whether you’re a vinyl enthusiast or just getting started, this turntable offers an unbeatable combination of sound quality, design, and convenience. Five stars!

After extensive research to replace my existing broken turntable, I was excited to find this unit compatible with Sonos. I was willing to pay the steep price to avoid more speakers etc. I couldn’t wait to play my favorite records for my kids who were so curious how a turntable worked. Who knew!? The set up was easy. The unit is quite beautiful and sleek and did look great in my music room. Those are the only pros. The connection was very unstable and glitchy and slightly improved with the recommended adjustments. I couldn’t get an entire side of a record to play without interruption. When it did connect, the sound was decent. The app crashed more often after the recommended update. Unfortunately this is just not a good unit. The concept is amazing but not quite there and certainly not worth the very steep price tag. Plus … if the internet goes out, this unit is useless. It could also use a protective cover for use while playing. I’m a big audiophile and spent the better part of my day trying to make this work, hoping it would improve but it just didn’t. It made more work than enjoyment.

Love this turntable. Here is why: Easy directions to get set up. I was worried about having install a cartridge, balance the tone arm and getting everything set up correctly. Victrola has thought this through and makes it very easy to set up thanks to a QR code that takes you to an app you download to your smart phone. The app is great and delivers step by step instructions. Then once you get set up, it's pretty easy to get integrated into your Sonos system. My Sonos system is placed throughout the home and it was fun to hear some of my old vinyl that isn't avail on Spotify or iTunes. This is why I purchased the turntable. While the turntable delivers great sound with my new records, I was super impressed how it handled my older vinyl that has some scratches, warps and pops. Those records played just fine and sounded great despite their age and wear. To me, that is a sign of a good turntable. If you have a record collection that includes several releases that aren't avail on any of the streaming services, then this is a must have. Thank you Victrola!

Despite all the recent issues with the new Sonos app, connection to WiFi and to my Sonos system was very easy. The turntable initially wasn't visible to the Victrola app on my android phone but on ios/ipad it worked immediately. A few more attempts on the phone and a reinstall and it is working there too now. Sound is excellent and i have had no issues with sound dropping etc. As long as your network is strong and you have a decent router it seems rock solid so far... via RCA to a proper hifi gets you a further step up in clarity. Even better if: 1) You could control it more fully directly from the Sonos app... it comes in as Audio Stream straight to the zone you pick from the Victrola app with no other options or visibility 2) You could select what zone to play to from the turntable itself (you can set one default zone, otherwise need to use the app) 3) It had a proper dust cover... the included folded bit of plastic is an awkward embarrassment for something of this price... I'm looking to get a custom clear acrylic one made

I have had turntables and sound systems with turntables built in and are Direct drive or belt-driven from the 70’s onward. There was a time I went CD only and got rid of the tables (not the vinyl). Around 2019 give or take, I wanted to hear the actual vinyl and digitize the records I did not have CDs for. A Victrola Navigator then a Direct drive from another brand with USB and a moving magnet cartridge for a step up in 2020. A downsizing move made me keep the Victrola and sell my component theater system with the direct drive table. I got a Sonos Beam Gen 2 as my TV soundbar and the larger matching sub. They sound excellent no matter what is playing on them. So, I went looking for a less expensive way to add a table to my Sonos S2-based system then a Sonos port or amp or a Sonos speaker with audio input. That adds to the cost of a table. With the Stream Onyx works with Sonos, I can play right to my Sonos system and use the RCA line level outputs to feed my computer with an external audio interface/sound card to continue digitizing vinyl. The setup was easy; follow the instructions in the app or on the videos and in 30 minutes or less, you listen to your records! Without that bridge to the Sonos environment. The hardest part is tweaking the tracking and anti-skating so that loud sections of your records are without skipping; yes, there is help on the website for this. I love this table and recommend it.

Not worth the money. When it works, it’s great, and the Sonos connectivity is an appealing concept. Unfortunately, the overall sound quality is poor, which makes it hard to truly appreciate vinyl. There is noticeable distortion and frequent connectivity interruptions that undermine the experience. After about eight months, my record player began having hardware issues. I’ve been working with support for the past three months with no resolution—46 emails and 28 photos and videos later, the problem remains unresolved. For a product at this price point, that level of reliability and support is unacceptable. It’s a great idea with a strong marketing pitch, but the execution falls short. The inconsistent performance and extremely poor customer support only add to the disappointment. I genuinely wish I had chosen a different option before spending this much money.

Connects to SONOS fine, but during the playing of the first record, I noticed that the pitch/speed of the music intermittently started to drop/slow momentarily, then resume normal pitch/speed, sounding terrible! I tried another trusted record, and the same problem was there, but seemed to improve. However I then used the turntable a few days later, and the same intermittent problem was again evident, but worse than before. A third record was tested – same dreadfully poor intermittent pitch variation, sounding totally out of tune...listen to the video attached. I sent an email to Victrola.com.au (Australia) and Victrola.com (USA) but I have had no response from either of them, and there's no phone number, so I can't see how they can warrant the product. PATHETIC VICTROLA PRODUCT AND SERVICE! I am extremely disappointed with the Victrola Stream Onyx Turntable operation, particularly given that it’s a relatively expensive unit. I note that although the unit is new in the box, it has build date of Sep 2022, some 18 months ago. I like the design and concept of the unit, however its performance is totally unacceptable for what is touted to be a premium Victrola unit. PIECE OF JUNK - DO NOT BUY IT! Sent it back to Amazon, cost $180.00 in shipping! Just hope I get the refund promised.

I recently purchased the Victrola Stream Onyx with Sonos Wireless Turntable. I was a bit skeptical on how this would work with my Sonos home system, and if the set up process would be too complex to understand...WHAT WAS I EVEN WORRIED ABOUT! When opening up the Victrola box the whole experience felt like I was on top of everything I needed to know. There wasn't too many components to put together, instructions were very easy to understand. Step 1 was to download the Victrola app and right away it connected to my wi-fi then Sonos system...that was easy. Next step was to see if there was going to be any audio coming out when I put the needle on the record.... Right away I started to hear the crackling....I got a big smile on my face...IT WORKS...That was easy. The Victrola Stream Onyx is very solid. The materials used feel quality but light weight enough where anyone can move it vs a traditional turntable or any sort of cheap plastic turntable. The system is easy to turn on with a push of the front button which also acts as a volume control. I'm so happy this was invented and now I can stream all my records throughout my whole house and or different areas of my home. A+A+...Can't wait to see what they do next.

Una maravilla de tocadiscos! Todo de primera calidad, Increíble la facilidad de instalación junto con la app de Victrola, se conectó muy fácil con mi sistema Sonos. Me encantó el producto lo recomiendo mucho, si lo usas con tu Sonos es una delicia la alta fidelidad.

Works good su far. Top cover needs improvement.

Decepcionado. Opté por esta marca, pensando que por sonos haber prestado su nombre, y autorizado su compatibilidad era calidad garantizada y lamentablemente no fue ni cerca de eso. No llevo más de tres semanas con ella y la variación En el disco repercute la calidad de la música como muestro en el video. La aplicación para mí es muy mala, sin embargo la conexión es buena como dicen todos, la construcción y la apariencia está muy bonita, pero desgraciadamente no duro absolutamente nada funcionando y lo peor es que cuando llamo para pedir la garantía Amazon me dice que primero tiene que esperar a que Victrola la haga válida la devolución para entonces yo poder hacer la misma, por lo anterior considero que tanto Amazon como Victrola funcionan de manera deficiente, ya que yo tengo el derecho a poder devolverla cuando quiera dentro del periodo Como bien lo dice la garantía. no es un producto que sugiera compren de verdad se van a arrepentir. También llegó con un defecto fisco de fabricación como se muestra en la foto. El adaptador para discos de 45 revoluciones tampoco funcionaba. Como pueden ver , muchos detalles para un equipo de 10 mil y de una supuesta marca con prestigio.

I was sold on the concept of adding a turntable to my existing Sonos ecosystem, so the Victrola Stream Onyx with its ability to pair wirelessly with the system seemed like a no brainer. While it is expensive, there’s really nothing else on the market offering a similar feature set. Unfortunately this one is going back. This turntable doesn’t hold pitch. There are frequent small variances in speed during playback leaving everything sounding warped. I’ve since noticed other users reporting similar experiences. While it’s likely I got a lemon, even when the turntable worked, it was just OK. The wireless stream to Sonos would often be dropped, or worse, begin to cut in and out repeatedly requiring a restart, and you need to use the dedicated Victrola app to choose which room you want music - you can’t choose using the Sonos app, other than to group a room that is already playing. Sonically there is not much heft either. Playback is at a significantly lower level than other content through the same Sonos configuration, meaning you have to turn the volume way up to listen, and if you forget to turn it back down when you’re finished, you may be in for a shock when you go back to your streaming source of choice. Even without the mechanical issues impeding playback, this unit offers very mediocre performance at a premium price. It’s a shame.
