Review Summary
2025-03-09T20:00:00
I have several HomePods throughout my house. So I thought I'd try to find a turntable I could play through them. After looking different ones, the Vinyl 500 boasted to work with the HomePods. After several hours of troubleshooting, and reading on Reddit, I came to realize I was mislead. I'm pretty disappointed. If you guys don't know how make it run through the HomePods, don't tell people it does. Sure, it will connect to them, but only as a speaker, which is totally whacked. It's not a speaker, it's a turntable. It doesn't produce any sound. Ridiculous.

Great looking unit. I did upgrade the l cartridge to an Ortofon Bronze. Great sound. Running it with Yamaha Integrated Amp AS3000 and Belle Klipsch speakers.

Beautiful table. Documentation is a bit sparse. Connecting to my Music Cast receiver did not work initially. Thanks to Yamaha support, unplugging and re-starting the receiver made everything work! When in doubt re-boot! As mentioned in other forums the cartridge is pretty pedestrian given the cost of this unit. The Bluetooth seems a generation behind what's currently available which should be addressed(new chip needed) which will allow better lossless performance. The multi room setup and the flexibility of placement is game changing. Really happy with this unit-for the cost Yamaha should figure out if updating Bluetooth is feasible. The wireless systems Sonos, Heos, Music Cast should all interoperate, at least in my fantasyland they do?. But overall very happy?.

Do not waste your money on this. I purchased 3 MusicCast items, MusicCast 50, MusicCast vinyl 500, and a WXC-50. Connected to my receiver are two NS-777s and a NS-C444 The music sounds great but it is so frustrating. It skips to the point that it is unusable. I have several records and can't play them due to the skipping. I have a Linksys MR9600 router and am using WIFI to connect the rooms. They are all within range of the router with good signal. I even prioritized the Yamaha components in the router. I am able watch 4K movies with 5.1 surround sound using the WIFI. I've turned off all other data hogs and am still not able to get clean smooth playing audio. Really disappointed in the connectivity of the components.

I have been frustrated finding help. I feel I only can make incremental progress before I found the actual problem, after I spent extra money on top of the turntable.
