by

As a passionate gamer and music enthusiast, I can’t help but share my excitement about the latest update from Victrola, one of the oldest American audio brands with a rich history dating back to 1906 in Camden, NJ. This year at CES 2025, they unveiled refreshed versions of their Sonos-compatible ‘Stream’ turntable range, particularly the ‘Stream Onyx’. So, if you’re like me and love blending the best of old-school vinyl records with modern audio technology, keep an eye out for these new iterations!

Alongside introducing fresh color options, this brand has also rolled out a significant software upgrade, which introduces Bluetooth capabilities to their product lineup for the very first time.

they can now link the turntable to Bluetooth speakers wirelessly, making it accessible even for those without Sonos speaker systems. To add more flexibility, Victrola has also incorporated UPnP streaming support. This feature allows users to attach the turntable to other devices on the same WiFi network, much like Apple’s AirPlay functionality.

For individuals preferring a classic wired setup, they’ll be pleased to know that the latest Stream Onyx upgrade maintains the wired connection, offering an RCA output complete with an integrated preamplifier.

The turntable is built using a combination of MDF, aluminum, and plastic, making it a substantial 12.1lbs (or 5.4kgs). It boasts a die-cast aluminum platter and sports a 225mm arm equipped with either an Audio Technica AT-VM95E or Ortofon OM5E cartridge, both top-tier choices renowned for providing exceptional, high-quality sound.

As a gamer, I’m thrilled about the latest updates from Victrola! They’ve spruced up their ‘Tempo Bookshelf Speakers’ with fresh hues that perfectly complement any gaming setup. These speakers now support Bluetooth 5.4, Auracast broadcasting, and offer a variety of wired connection options such as RCA, 3.5mm AUX, USB-C, and an optical audio input. Plus, they’ve extended the new colors to their ‘Automatic’ and ‘Wave’ turntables too!

Currently, Victrola’s latest collection has been released, featuring the Stream Onyx Turntable, priced at $599.99 USD, and the Tempo Bookshelf Speakers, available for $199.99 USD.
