Record Roundup 31: Lamborghinis, Streamers And Wristwatches

Andover Audio's new SpinBase MAX2 speaker system for turntables Welcome to the 31st edition of Record Roundup, my ongoing coverage of the latest developments in the world of turntables and record players. This edition features several unique turntables, a new speaker system from Andover Audio, a TT-friendly streaming amp and the wristwatch for Technics SL-1200 fans. For those with deep pockets who are looking for a unique turntable, the Waiting For Ideas Turntable PP-1 should fit the bill. This Paris-based creative studio partnered with Miniot Technology to offer the ultimate in minimalist design: a monolithic block of anodized aluminum (offered in a space gray or black finish) that plays records. There's no visible tonearm, but place a record on the sunken platter and a hidden door opens beneath the record being played to reveal the cartridge and stylus. Pricing for this made to order statement turntable is around $6,000. Top view of the Turntable PP-1, showing the door that conceals the cartridge Somewhere, a marketing team produced a Venn diagram showing overlap between music lovers who prefer listening to records and car lovers who have a thing for Lamborghinis. If you are in this demographic, Technics has the turntable for you. A special edition of the Technics SL-1200 Series (a coreless direct drive turntable loved by DJs) offers Lamborghini-inspired paint jobs in a choice of three colors: Arancio Apodis, Verde Shock, and Giallo Athon (or orange, green and yellow for those not in the know). Each of these special edition turntables also includes a Lamborghini-crested slipmat and a record featuring 'the engine sounds of flagship Automobili Lamborghini cars.' The Technics Special Edition Lamborghini turntable carries a $1599.99 price tag, which is a premium over the base SL-1200, but it's a heck of a lot more affordable than a Lamborghini Revuelto. Technics Special Edition Lamborghini Turntable in Verde Shock Massachusetts-based Andover Audio never stops innovating. Two years ago I reviewed the company's SpinBase MAX, a turntable audio system that leveraged proprietary ISOgroove technology and audio engineering expertise to deliver an immersive record listening experience from a single, space-saving cabinet that sits beneath the turntable itself. Andover Audio has just released the followup SpinBase MAX 2. It's still a space-saver that sits beneath your turntable and includes an integrated PHONO pre-amp. In fact, it looks almost identical to the original. But the new version gets an upgrade to six drivers (four 3.5-inch woofers and two silk dome tweeters), making the 270 degree soundstage even more convincing. And with 100W of total amplification on tap, the SpinBase MAX 2 has the power to fill even the largest rooms. I have a SpinBase MAX 2 set up in my office, so watch for my take on the latest Andover Audio release in the coming weeks. The SpinBase MAX 2 uses IsoGroove technology so you can set your turntable on top of it without ... More distortion Eversolo has very smart-looking amplifier that's designed to deliver the best in modern streaming music capabilities. The Eversolo Play offers multi-room capability (with room correction), a multi-band professional EQ, a 32-bit DAC, extensive high resolution digital file format support and up to 110W per channel of power. The premium, CNC-machined aluminum enclosure features a 5.5-inch HD touch display–perfect for viewing album art from integrated streaming music platforms such as Tidal and Apple Music. You can also use your smartphone for control. Around back, you'll find a wide range of inputs and outputs, including an integrated PHONO stage–plug in your turntable for the best of modern digital and analog music playback. There's even a version with a built-in CD player, so you can have comprehensive physical media playback capability in a modern amplifier. Eversolo Play is a modern music streaming amplifier with turntable support Finally, for those who want to fly their vinyl flag publicly, AndoAndoAndo has the must-have wristwatch. The Vinyl Record Automatic Watch (available in a variety of color combinations) is designed to look like the iconic Technics SL-1200 turntable with a tonearm instead of an hour hand. Maybe not the most practical timepiece, but definitely among the coolest. The ultimate watch for record fans? Missed the last Record Roundup? You can read RR30 here.

How to enable Auracast on Sony's WH-1000XM6 headphones

Sony's lastest flagship wireless headphones, the WH-1000XM6, are superb in many ways, with great sound, top-notch noise canceling, and improved comfort. They also contain a feature that no other 1000X series model has ever offered: the ability to access Bluetooth Auracast broadcasts. Unfortunately, unlike many of the other features, like spatial audio, EQ settings, and control customization — which can all be accessed with a few taps in the Sony Sound Connect app — getting Auracast to work takes a bit more effort. Here's a brief overview of why Auracast matters and how to take advantage of it on the Sony WH-1000XM6. Recommended Videos Why Auracast? Bluetooth Auracast, which was introduced along with LE Audio in the official Bluetooth 5.2 specification, turns any compatible source device (like a smartphone, laptop, or tablet) into a Bluetooth radio station that can broadcast the same audio to an unlimited number of Auracast-compatible receiving devices (like headphones, earbuds, or speakers). This makes it the perfect way to share audio wirelessly between friends or even large gatherings. Unlike traditional Bluetooth device connections, which require a pairing process before any audio can be streamed, an Auracast broadcast can be found and listened to without any 'handshake' to the source device. All you need is an interface (known as an Auracast assistant) that lets you scan for and tune-in to available broadcasts in your vicinity. If you've ever scanned for an available Wi-Fi access point, it's the same process. In fact, Auracast broacasts, much like Wi-Fi networks, can be open (anyone can listen) or private (you need a password or PIN to listen). When would I use Auracast? Initially, most people will use Auracast in two ways: to share audio from a phone or computer, or to extend a Bluetooth speaker's audio to additional Bluetooth speakers — some brands call this 'Party Mode'. Marshall has just released its first soundbar, the Heston 120, which uses Auracast to extend its surround sound to compatible Marshall Bluetooth speakers. However, over time, we expect to see many additional uses, including: Primary and secondary language soundtracks at movie theaters Wireless headphone and hearing aid connections for TVs at home Wireless headphone connections for TVs in public spaces like gyms or lounges Public address (PA)systems in busy spaces like airports, train stations, or stadiums Audio tours at museums, art galleries, or monuments Virtual PA for conferences and trade shows How do I use Auracast on the Sony WH-1000XM6? Before we get to the specific steps, there's one thing you need to know: The WH-1000XM6 won't support Bluetooth Auracast when connected to iPhones or iPads. The reason is Sony's approach to Auracast as a technology. Instead of providing the Auracast assistant capability within its Sound Connect app, Sony relies on the mobile phone's own software to provide it. At the moment, only select phones with Android 13 or higher possess Auracast assistant functionality built-in. If you want to use Auracast with an iPhone, you'll need a product like JBL's Tour One M3 or Tour Pro 3 — which come with an Auracast assistant in JBL's Headphones app for iOS. For the following steps, we used a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, running One UI 7.0 on Android 15. Check to see if your phone/Android version combination supports Bluetooth Auracast before proceeding. Use the Sound Connect app to switch to LE Audio Bluetooth Auracast only works when the receiving device (headphones, earbuds, etc) uses LE Audio. This is a different mode than the so-called classic Bluetooth connection. Sony ships the WH-1000XM6 in classic Bluetooth mode by default so you need to manually switch it LE Audio mode. Connect the WH-1000XM6 to a phone running Android 13 or higher Open the Sony Sound Connect app Scroll down and select Device Settings Select the System tab Scroll down and select the down arrow next to Classic Audio only under the LE Audio connection setting for headphones section Select the LE Audio Priority radio button Agree to the Change to [LE Audio Priority] dialog box by selecting OK You will see a notification that the headphones must be reconnected, select Check Operating Procedures to see detailed instructions or Cancel Return to your phone's Bluetooth settings Find the WH-1000XM6 in the paired devices menu Unpair or forget the WH-1000XM6 (method may vary by device) Press and hold on the WH-1000XM6's power button until the LED flashes blue and you hear the 'Pairing' voice prompt from the headphones On your Android phone, Google Fast Pair should automatically recognize the headphones and ask you to Connect Once connected, select Done Enter the settings for the WH-1000XM6 from the Bluetooth device menu (method may vary by device) Select the LE Audio option You will hear the headphones disconnect and reconnect Your WH-1000XM6 should now be in connected to your phone via LE Audio. To verify: Return to the Sony Sound Connect app Below the main image of the headphones and the battery life readout, you should see LE Audio displayed If you don't, repeat steps 1-17 Use Android's Bluetooth settings to find and connect to an Auracast broadcast Return to your phone's Bluetooth settings Find the WH-1000XM6 in the list of paired device and enter the settings menu for the headphones (method may vary by device) Scroll down and select Listen to Auracast broadcast If any Auracast broadcasts are available, they will be listed on the following screen Select any available Auracast broadcast You should now hear the audio through the WH-1000XM6

Upset that all the Memorial Day sales have already come to pass? If you were hoping to upgrade your home entertainment situation be it in your living room, bedroom, basement, or home theater, but missed out on the great deals we saw at the beginning of the month, you are thankfully no out of luck. The next big holiday sale is still some ways away, but there are great deals active right now if you know where to look. Right now, Best Buy has this Insignia 2.0 channel soundbar discounted. Normally going for $60, this television audio accessory has been slashed down to $50. That may not sound like a lot, but it's a rare discount. See at Best Buy Why Get a Soundbar? Sound is 50% off the movie-watching experience. You can have the best picture in the world available, but it won't leave it's full impact if the audio is coming out of the TV's built-in speakers. The best way to improve your home audio for watching movies, football games, and big budget TV shows without breaking your own budget is with a soundbar. This dual-channel soundbar will amplify your TV's existing audio. Choose between three different sound modes depending on the content you're viewing—standard, theater, and news.

Connecting over HDMI ARC allows you to even control your soundbar using your regular TV remote—less stuff to lose between the cushions of your couch. You can even connect to your phone or other devices to listen to music, podcasts, audiobooks, and more using Bluetooth. After connecting wirelessly the first time, your soundbar will remember your phone making future use even easier to get started. So if you're ready to turn your back on the low-quality audio you TV's built-in speakers are providing you, you can upgrade to the Insignia 2.0 channel soundbar for the low price of $50 over at Best Buy. That's a nearly a 20% discount from its standard price of $60. You don't need to spend oodles of cash to enjoy high-quality sound. See at Best Buy

Our favorite product releases this week: Lego, Marshall, Smeg and more

Every week, Rikka Altland, Jacqueline Saquin and Elena Matarazzo team up to share our favorite product launches from the last seven days. Whether you're just hoping to keep up to date with the latest and greatest releases or are looking to shop them, we've highlighted nine of the most notable drops from around the web. This week brings the launch of the latest collaboration between Lego and Pixar, a new retro-styled speaker from Marshall and this shiny new Smeg sparkling water maker. A new version of an editor-loved speaker Marshall has debuted its newest speaker this week, and there's far more to it than just a retro-inspired design. Don't get us wrong, the vinyl wrapping and metal speaker grill are as classic as it gets, but it's the tech and audio system that's on the inside that has Altland so excited. She listens to a Marshall speaker every day and particularly loves the out-of-the-box EQ settings that the company ships. For the Marshall Kilburn III, that combination of good looks and great sound enters a new portable package. The speaker sports a built-in battery that enables over 50 hours of listening on a single charge, twice as much time as its predecessor. It also has a more impressive internal speaker setup that's backed by an IP54 water-resistant and dust-resistant build. We also love the brand's usual inclusion of retro volume knobs on top. Available now through the official Marshall website, it'll also be launching on June 10 through other retailers. Altland will be circling back later on with more personal insight into the experience to see if its $380 price tag means it's actually better than the other best portable Bluetooth speakers out there. Nix the cleanup with these silicone cosmetic pouches Don't let stray liquid blush swipes and smoky eyeshadow pigments stain your makeup bag. Stasher, the reusable silicone bag brand we've written home about in the past, just welcomed the Beauty Weekender Bag, which retails for $40. It's more roomy than the bestselling Essentials Bag, giving you ample room to pack full-sized products — up to 104 fluid ounces, to be exact. Made with the same signature silicone, it's easy to clean and wipe down when spills do happen. No matter where your travels take you, toss it in a beach tote or a carry-on bag. If you want to break down your organization even more, it comes in new value bundles with the Everyday Bag and the Touch-Up Bag. Make cheekbones and cupid's bows pop all day long Trying to achieve the glass skin look? It goes beyond a good skin care routine and can be amplified with makeup. Benefit is here to help with its new velvety highlighter that gives you a natural glow with its lightly blurring powder. It comes in six shades that range from the fair Raya color to a deep Comet. All of them are long-lasting, can be worn on muggy summer days with their waterproof capabilities and even play nice with acne-prone skin. Some of our deals editors are stoked to try this out for events, outdoor weddings and the like since it offers a fade-proof glow that lasts 12 hours — or in some cases more — and adds a subtle pop to a variety of makeup looks. The tin is $38, which is on par with other middle to higher tier options and is available for purchase on the brand's site, Sephora, Nordstrom and even Revolve. Move over, AirTags Our senior deals editor has long been a fan of Satechi's passport cover with built-in Apple Find My support. It's an essential in her travel setup for providing extra peace of mind while flying. The company is now bringing that same item-finding technology to a suite of new products, including everything from a luggage tag to a glasses case. Everything in Satechi's new lineup features a rechargeable battery that pairs with the company's tried-and-true item-finding features. For those unfamiliar, Find My is the same technology that Apple packs into its beloved AirTags. Satechi is tapping into that same network to cover far more than just keys with some bespoke accessories tailored to specific uses. Here's a rundown of the lineup: Satechi Vegan-Leather FindAll Glasses Case Instead of just placing an AirTag in your existing glasses case, this stylish vegan-leather cover features the same tracking technology with a wirelessly rechargeable battery. Satechi Vegan-Leather FindAll Luggage Tag Most of us are buying AirTags to use with a luggage tag, so why not skip the process of piecing together individual accessories and opt for a single travel gadget that does it all. Satechi FindAll Card Bring Apple Find My tech to your wallet with this slim item finder. It's slightly thicker than a typical credit card and provides peace of mind where an AirTag normally can't. Satechi Vegan-Leather FindAll Keychain This may practically just be an AirTag, but it beats Apple's in-house version by featuring an integrated keychain clip and rechargeable battery for $1 more than the official option. Altland has been using Satechi gear for several years now and is always impressed by the value, build quality and features offered by its Apple-adjacent products. This new Find All tracker lineup certainly looks to fit the bill, and she'll be excited to try these out for herself when her order arrives. The most stylish way to get your bubbles Summer signals the start of spritz season, and Smeg's latest invention comes in clutch with a well-timed launch. For all your backyard BBQs, pool parties and happy hours, the Sparkling Water Maker can satiate your bubbly cravings. Unlike clunky, plastic models out there, this one fuses high-quality Italian craftsmanship with practical controls. It comes in a sleek, slim design and three stylish colors: Matte Black, Matte Fog Blue and Matte Jade. For $180, the soda maker also features a customizable fizz control knob and an electricity-free use, so you can store it outside on patio bars or inside on the kitchen countertop. A derm-approved skin tint with SPF One of our favorite Korean beauty brands just released its highly anticipated tinted sunscreen. This skin tint is a great addition to your routine if you're looking for a multipurpose product that conceals, protects and moisturizes. It's packed with SPF 40 protection, comes in 12 shades and gives you a lightweight, no-makeup-makeup look that'll leave you looking dewy all summer long. The bottle goes for a reasonable $20, and you can save 20% if you buy two or more at once. Snagging multiple shades is the move for some if your complexion is in between or if you wear darker finishes as the UV index gets higher. The latest Lego Ideas kit hops into action Lego has been tapping into the wide world of Disney properties for years now with its popular building kits, but Pixar is a more recent addition to the collection. The latest of those builds is up for pre-order this week. Joining the likes of 'Up,' 'WALL-E' and 'Inside Out,' the original short film that kickstarted the whole animation empire is getting its own set. The new Luxo Jr. kit features a buildable version of the Pixar Lamp and Luxo Ball. Both characters are crafted from 613 pieces and assembled into display-worthy models. I won't spoil anything, but there are also some fun Easter eggs throughout the building process that reference half a dozen films from the Pixar archive. It begins shipping over the weekend and clocks in with a $70 price tag. Our best-tested cooling pillow just got new companions Hot sleepers have a new way to keep cool this summer. Expanding upon its best-tested cooling pillows, Coop Sleep Goods just added to its Cool+ Collection, so you can upgrade your bedding to the ultimate chill zone. Running from $49 to $399, the new additions introduce a fresh mattress topper, adjustable body pillow and toddler pillow — all stuffed with the brand's signature Oomph Cool fill. In addition to the Cool+ line, Coop also created Tencel-based bedding designed to feel soft, silky and most importantly, breathable. Lay the foundation for sleep with the Tencel Sheet Set ($159) and Pillowcase Set ($39), which help temper moisture. Or, swap out heavy duvet covers for the brand's lightweight Duvet Cover ($159), available in white, grey and cream colors. Cheers to seven years of buttery soft activewear Days ago, Set Active dropped its limited-edition birthday collection. The brand is celebrating its seventh year in the activewear business and has launched three new versions of its pieces in ice cream and sweets-inspired hues. Some of the pieces our editors are eyeing are the Airluxe Breathe Scoop Bra in Birthday Espresso, Sportbody Sporty High-Rise Leggings in a strawberry pastel Swirl design, Formcloud Cloud High-Rise Leggings in a baby blue Frosting color and Airluxe Breathe Shorts in a creamy Leche. If you're prepping for summer training sessions or hot girl walks with friends, Set Active makes some of the cutest workout gear around. We love that it's just as stylish as it is functional, which makes these new drops even more worthy of tagging along on spring workouts. This week also saw the launch of other products our editors deemed worthy of standalone coverage. Shop all these additional launches below, including an upgraded version of our pick for the best budget video doorbell, a new Yeti lunch box and more. Marie Veronique Colorfree Zinc Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 32 Our associate editor, Elena Matarazzo, has been using this sunscreen for about a week and loves its dewy finish. It's been safe to use on her acne-prone skin and even doubles as a primer since it's slightly tacky. Blink Video Doorbell (2025) Blink's latest doorbell combines upgrades like 1440p video and a wider field of view with the same price tag as its predecessor. The starter kit clocks in at $70, while those upgrading an existing setup can buy just the doorbell for $60. Yeti 3-Liter Daytrip Lunch Box Yeti has a new line of lunch boxes out this week that pack the brand's usual best-in-class temperature retention into a soft design perfect for taking your lunch to work and more. Away The Carry-On in Sunshine Yellow To complement all your sunny getaways, Away premiered its bestselling luggage in a new hue, Sunshine Yellow. The Beach Capsule Collection also invites the debut of a beach bag tote, a sunglasses case and a pair of dry bags. As deals editors at Underscored, we are some of the first people to hear about the latest product news from reader-favorite brands. Our deals team — comprised of senior editor Rikka Altland, editor Jacqueline Saguin and associate editor Elena Matarazzo — is passionate about product launches that we would be tempted to shop, and we enjoy finding a coveted new item (especially one from a brand with top marks from our experts) because it means we're helping our readers make savvy buying decisions.
