Review on Yamaha MusicCast Vinyl 500 Wi-Fi Turntable in White by Steve Cooper

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great but not automatic

The Yamaha MusiCast 500 is a great turntable with easy setup, great quality and great sound. There are things we like and feedback we'd like to share. + I love the way the needle tracks and pitch are perfect every time! + Love the ability to play Bluetooth and network sources. + I love the ability to play analog audio directly. to the phono input of my receiver! - I wish MusiCast played music through a wireless Bluetooth speaker, not just expensive Yamaha MudiCast speakers. - I wish setting up MusiCast was easier. I had to turn on the network and select a network source before adding the player to my MusiCast app and the instructions on how to do this were unclear. It's a shame that such an expensive turntable doesn't have some automatic features, such as automatically returning your hand after a record has played, rather than spinning forever until you manually lift the stylus up from the platter move. In general, I'm a fan. That's a great player!

Pros
  • Quick change
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
