After you moved into a new place, the number one priority would be to get your tunes up and running, even before arranging furniture. I guess it was around fifteen or twenty years ago that I suddenly realized this reality had changed. Watching my sister listening to music coming from her iPhone’s tiny speaker while working in the kitchen, I couldn’t help but feel that we’d somehow ended up going backwards. Music is a form of spiritual and emotional nourishment, and if we don’t have access to a good-sounding audio system for music-listening, we will be malnourished.
Andover Audio is a company that aims to bring the nourishing living room hi-fi experience back into people’s lives. A couple of years ago it introduced the SpinBase powered turntable speaker ($299). In my review of the SpinBase (September 2020, and online at soundandvision.com), I raved about how unexpectedly excellent it was and how it comprised a great basic music playback solution for an office or bedroom. Now, Andover is kicking the SpinBase concept up a few notches with the Spin System, a complete matched component system.
A complete Spin System features a SpinBase at its heart and adds: a turntable for your records called the SpinDeck; a subwoofer to pump up the bass called the SpinSub; and a rack to hold everything, including a bunch of records, called, you guessed it, the SpinStand.

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.
