Disappointing Bluetooth stability - Fon Gramofono?

[Bradley747]

Hi, the Aptx Bluetooth stability on my Dali Kubik system is not always perfect, in fact it often jumps out and leaves a loud buzzing sound until I can spring up and turn the power off.

I have contemplated a network streamer like a CA CXN but smart though it looks, 1000€ is far too much money to solve a bluetooth issue...

Therefore after some investigating I came accross the Fon Gramofone which uses my WIFI rather than bluetooth for all I stream over Spotify

anyone have any experience of this device?

cheers

One of the members (and moderator here) John Duncan has had a couple of gramofons for a few months now. Hopefully he can tell you about them.

Bradley, why repeat the same mistake twice? Are you that hung up on using Bluetooth? Your Dalis have digital inputs too - investigate that route, like a Sonos Connect for example.

exactly what I am trying to do... a fon gramofono works via wifi rather than bluetooth and is 300 euros cheaper than sonos connect
