Audiophiles don’t love vinyls for their pose, but because they sound better than compact discs and tablets and are devoid of nuance files on our portable players. Also, old records are a more desirable object than cold CDs; putting one of them on the plate is a sensual experience that turns listening to music into a refined activity. Who tried it knows.
Yet vinyl and turntables are analog dinosaurs in a universe of versatile little digital mammals. If they want to survive, they have to make concessions to the new world. And that’s where Trntbl (pronounced turntable, or “turntable” in English) comes in, a wireless device that streams the creamy sound of vinyl to your Bluetooth speakers or headphones, to the entire range of Sonos and to your AirPlay devices. the wireless transmission protocol developed by Apple.
There were already ION or Audio Technica decks that shared their music by streaming, but this attractive piece of technology does something unprecedented for a turntable: in the manner of Shazam, it “identifies” the song it is playing, and posts it on Spotify, which it tells your followers on that service what you are listening to on your analog planet, and it allows you to create streaming playlists. Your friends on Spotify can even “tune in” to your streaming and listen to what you listen to, at the same time as you.
In addition, it must be recognized that the Trntbl has been beautiful to its creators, as you can see here.
If you want it, you can order it now for $ 351 (about 313 euros).
