Turntable – the return of vinyl

The turntable quickly lost significance with the advent of the CD in the 80s. However, in recent years, there has been a noticeable global resurgence in popularity – turntables are back in trend! Bring your old vinyl collection out of the basement, enjoy the uniquely rich and warm sound quality of vinyl, and indulge in memories of the past.

Belt drive for smooth operation

The belt drive ensures good running characteristics thanks to the mechanically decoupled connection between the motor and the platter. The connection via rubber belts minimizes unwanted vibrations and other noise disturbances, ensuring smooth operation and optimal sound quality when playing your favorite records.

    Vielleicht klingt die Schallplatte nicht besser, aber einfach schöner und natürlicher als eine digitale Einspielung? Dazu kommen der Reiz des großen Plattencovers, das Auspacken und das Auflegen der schwarzen Scheibe. Egal, ob lange nicht mehr angehörte Schätze gehoben werden sollen oder neu erworbene Schallplatten gehört werden wollen, Guter Rat stellt acht aktuell lieferbare Plattenspieler unter...

      Steht dort, wo er sich am besten bedienen la¨sst, dank MusicCast gelangt die Musik schnurlos zu den Multiroom-Lautsprechern.

      Gut vernetzt. Lässt sich mit Bluetooth-Geräten wie Kopfhörern koppeln und als einziger im Test ins heimische WLan-Netz einbinden – zum Beispiel um Platten über die WLan-Box zu hören. Guter Klang, der aber etwas wenig Bass bietet. Manuelle Bedienung, Riemenantrieb.

      So stellen wir uns ein Multiroomsystem vor: Flexibel sollte es sein, einfach in der Bedienung, hochwertig verarbeitet und bestens klingend. Sie ahnen es – die Yamaha MusicCast-Komponenten aus unserem Test bieten das alles und sehen zudem verführerisch gut aus. Yamaha schafft es, den traditionellen Plattenspieler mit der Moderne zu verknüpfen. Ganz simpel und exzellent funktionierend.

      Das Medium mag alt sein, die neue Plattenspielergeneration aber verpasst Vinyl eine Verjüngungskur. Konsequent auf eine junge Zielgruppe hin entwickelt, kann Yamahas MusicCast-Plattenspieler TT-N 503 nicht nur klassische Platten wiedergeben, sondern deren Musik auch digital wandeln und dann an andere MusicCast-Geräte streamen...
