Leave a Review Victrola Stream
Not worth the trouble
I had to change network settings and now I can’t even connect the turntable. When it does find the turntable, it won’t always let me configure the WiFi. When it does decide to let me choose the SSID, I put in the correct password and it goes back to the first screen with no turntable installed. It’s not possible to wire this to my router I need the WiFi to work.Show lessMegalug
Easy, I suppose. Reliable? not a chance.
It's absolutely true that even with lightning fast Wi-Fi and great signal the Victrola stream simply does not connect reliably about 2/3 of the time. I was willing to accept a buffering delay but more times than not I get no sound at all and find myself reaching for the phone. Open the app. Restart the turntable. Check the app. Check the connectivity. Check the signal strength. Try again. Then- finallly after either 15 seconds or 5 minutes the sounds of the turntable will finally come out of the default speaker. It's hard to get turntable-nostalgic if you have to fool with your phone for 5 minutes first.
I'm currently running a 50' cat6 through my basement and hoping a wired connection will up the experience to simply frustrating instead of practically unuseable. Please repair and update this app and the turntable firmware if it's even possible.Show lessI don't want to be a pirate
Constantly drops signal
When it works it works great but it will frequently lose its connection requiring a hard reset. Even when hardwire (which also defeats the purpose of this player) it’ll still drop the signal. Had the record player for 5 months now and keep hearing “we’re fixing it” but nothing. Soooo frustrating.Mmmmmatttg
