Adding our (optional) Songbird module will give your Spinsystem access to the Worldwide Web of High Resolution entertainment from the most popular streaming services and internet radio stations.
Room Placement As with any sound system, placement in your room will affect how well the sound fills the space.

Sound is emitted from both sides and the front of the unit, so be careful not to block the sound from the sides.

Tips on Record Care Unlike digital and solid state sources of music, turntables and vinyl records require a gentle touch to maximize performance and longevity. Following these guidelines will result in years of noise-free, reliable performance. • Do not handle records by the grooved areas. Grasp them by the edges, or by balancing the label on your thumb and steadying it with your forefinger at the edge of the record. Fingerprint oils attract dust which increases wear and adds noise.
Customizing your Vinyl Experience Vinyl playback technology offers the ability to customize your experience. Various accessories are available to allow you to tune the sound and operation to your preference. Here are a few examples that may be available on www.andoveraudio.com, or from your dealer: End of record lift: Typically, in order to eliminate friction in the tonearm bearings, high quality turntables do not have automation.
