VICTROLA STREAM CARBON TURNTABLE
However, in a bold move, Victrola hit the market with the Stream Carbon Turntable VPT-3000 (MSRP $799), designed for the serious vinyl enthusiast who also craves the convenience of streaming into their existing Sonos ecosystem.
What's in a name? In some cases, over a century of history. It's common knowledge that today's Victrola is a distant relative of the original Victor Talking Machine from the early 1900s. What isn't as well-known is the background behind the current era of Victrola.
Victor merged with RCA in 1929 and continued producing record players for decades. But eventually, the Victrola name ceased appearing on turntables. In 2006, the name and trademark were revived by Corey Lieblein. Lieblein's company, Innovative Technologies, successfully sold budget turntables to retail companies such as Kohl's and Sam's Club. To be taken seriously, he purchased the sleeping Victrola name and trademark for an undisclosed amount. But it's the company's current CEO, Scott Hagen, who is responsible for this entrance into the higher-end turntable market and has spearheaded the company's innovation for the last few years.
The Victrola Stream Carbon (VPT3000-BSL) is this new venture's most expensive turntable to date. It is clearly meant for a higher-end clientele. As alluded to in its name, the Stream is designed to connect seamlessly to an existing Sonos speaker system. It also has RCA line outputs with a built-in phono preamp to connect to a more traditional system. There are no phono level outputs.

The Big Clean
Chances are you probably do not think about the state of your electronic devices too often. Oh, you might think about all the upgrades you would like to make; where you would put those new tower speakers, or how a second or third subwoofer would really tame those bass modes in your room, or how much more cinematic a larger screen would be. Sure, you think about that part of your system. But how often do you think about the well-being of your system?

Bridging the Analog-Digital Gap on a Recliner
When I shopped for a motorized recliner, I rejected models with their own Internet Protocol address and built-in speakers. No need. I had already placed a smart speaker on an étagère beside the space where I had planned to put the chair. I'd have a smartphone in my hand and the room would be bathed in Wi-Fi.
