Wireless audio options for my turntable

[ryang]

I should have asked here first before purchasing a Bluetooth transmitter, but has anyone successfully setup a turntable with wireless audio? I am aware of SQ loss, but due to my setup in a new house, my turntable has no place to live on the TV/Receiver wall. I also have no way of running low gauge RCA wire across a tile floor. (Not running through the walls either).

I just returned a bluetooth transmitter to Amazon after having no luck with my turntable and pre-amp. It worked fine attached to a phone so it wasn't the device, which leads me to believe the pre-amp was not loud enough since it outputs at line level.

I have this soundbar:

It has BT and Google Cast abilities. My Fire TV can also act as an Airplay receiver.

This is my current pre-amp:

I'm open to other solutions but not looking to spend over $100ish. I'll get crafty with a shelf at that point.

Thanks!

I'd say you have to rethink your layout. The turntable should be near the amp.

There's lot's of ways to do this, but if the BT transmitter worked with your phone, it should work with that phono preamp as well, as both your phone and that preamp are outputting line level signals (-10dBv)...

I used these for a bit and they worked well at about 15 foot range, there was an occasional drop out if you stand in the path for more than 30 seconds so I put one on top of a bookshelf and one under the turntable and stopped having that problem:

Note that I got mine a bit cheaper as an Amazon warehouse deal, and that there are a 5 gHZ set as well in case you have a 2.4gHZ phone on that floor...

Right now I switched to an itx music server that sits near that turntable, and its raw inputs go into an old EMU 1820m PCI-based soundcard that has a built in phono, and then I use the Airfoil software to send that signal to my many Airplay compatible devices. Didn't know the Fire Stick can do Airplay, may wanna look into one of those for something else in my setup...

ETA: That's a pretty soundbar so that might be an ugly situation, the Dayton Audio wireless RCA adapters supposedly work as well and are a little cleaner looking - "Dayton Audio Sub-Link XR 2.4 GHz Wireless Audio Transmitter Receiver System for Subwoofers" from www.parts-express.com!
