From a Turntable to an iPad Home Dashboard: My First Experience with Vinyl

  • The author recounts their first experience with vinyl, setting up a turntable that was lent by a friend.
  • Initial skepticism about vinyl's sound quality was replaced by appreciation for the tactile experience and collectible aspect.
  • The author bought albums like Florence + The Machine, Peter Gabriel, and Sigur Rós to start their collection.
  • Using a headphone amplifier and connecting headphones to the turntable, the author enjoyed the unique sound of vinyl.
  • Struggles arose in connecting the turntable to HomePod minis due to limitations in wireless broadcasting.
  • Through a MacBook Air and third-party software, the author managed to stream vinyl records to the HomePod minis using AirPlay.
  • Later, the author discovered the Quanta app, which allowed them to use an iPad Pro to stream music to the HomePod minis more easily.
  • The setup involved connecting the turntable to the iPad Pro with a USB-C cable and using Quanta to stream music wirelessly.
