Well, nobody has yet come up with a portable vinyl turntable that you can listen to while walking, but the problem of being able to listen to your vinyl collection in different rooms around the home has finally been solved by Yamaha’s Vinyl 500 turntable. The smart-looking MusicCast Vinyl 500 features a straight, carbon-fiber tonearm, with a detachable headshell, fitted with an Audio-Technica moving magnet cartridge. Included in the Vinyl 500 are all the popular music-streaming services you could want, including Spotify, Tidal and Deezer, as well as TuneIn Internet radio. Because the Yamaha Vinyl 500 is MusicCast compatible, it can play vinyl records to any MusicCast-enabled device on the home network. If you’re into Amazon Alexa-enabled speakers, the Yamaha Vinyl 500 is cool with that and supports Alexa voice commands.
