- Listen to TRUE High Fidelity Bluetooth on any Vintage Home Stereo or AV Receiver.
The Audioengine b1 and Bludento BLT-HD are two of the best sounding Bluetooth receivers I have come across yet! They both have a full 2volt RCA output and aptX-HD, Bluetooth 5.0, 24 and 32 BIT DAC.

Thanks for the demo. So helpful
Love that SA-404 dude!
Great video. I am sure it will help some people out there!
Ty , I didnt know they made this.!
Thanks great video! What about the latency for example when playing an interview on youtube... Are the image on the phone and the audio via bluetooth in sync? Best to you
What is the comparison quality of the cable? Is it maintained or decreased?
Love it going to get one or two.
Awesome I have one on every receiver in our house. Going to put a B1 and DAC in my System that I am designing for my Wife's CRV. Stay tuned for that video coming up in a few weeks.
@@breakerbroke23 Thanks I will
Hello and thank you for sharing. Does the B1 sound better than a standard 3.5mm to rca jack? Is the DAC in the B1 enough? I ask because I stream from my phone and the sound quality jus isn't there Thank you
Can I add the line driver from one of your other videos to power this? Is this a better set up than the video that adds the line driver to the marine BT?
yes this is alot better than using a line driver, the drive brings other receivers up to the output of this receiver.
I connected bluetooth to the auxiliary on my Technics SU-V85A amplifier. I only get sound from the left speaker and crackles from the right. Same in aux 2. If I connect it to tuner, tape 1/2/3 it works fine. If I hook my cd player into aux 1&2 that works fine without the speaker issue as with the bluetooth. Could it just be too weak of signal from my bluetooth to the aux jacks causing the issue?
try different RCAs and if you can try the BT unit on another stereo that would confirm a bad device. ALL of this stuff is made in china and they are not known for QC... IMO
Thanks for your videos. I have a few set ups from the 70's and currently am running a Pioneer sx737, w a turntable, cd player and a couple of JBL L19's...and have been thinking of BT. I was thinking of a HK BTA 10, to get my feet wet...will I be happy with it? Or should I just bite the bullet and spend the extra cash and go w the bluDento?
Bludento. for sure. I like the HK it is a good unit but if can go a few dollars more then for sure go BD. Big upgrade, the newer Bluetooth 5.0 sounds so much better and the pre amp level is stronger. Better sound overall. Cheers and thanks for watching.
@@breakerbroke23 Kinda what I thought...thanks for the quick reply!
Does this have the punch added in? or do you have to add it like in one of your previous videos.
Yes this unit has the proper gain. And, better audio quality.
So what do I have to have in the way of bluetooth receiver(s) on my speakers if I want to eliminate the wired connections from the amp to them
No way to make the speakers "wireless" that I know of. This may work for you if you dont have to use your main amp.
amzn.to/3U1iX55 I have been using one of these for a patio system. Super reliable.
Do you think this would eliminate the hissing sound that comes when using a a Logitech Bluetooth receiver.
While the device in this video will sound better, you may have a RCA cord/adapter issue. I would try a different cable from the BT unit to your receiver. Well worth a try, but you still have a good excuse to "upgrade" Cheers.
One question. Can I use this setup to Bluetooth music from my stereo receiver with turntable to my smart tv’s speakers
No, most TVs have bluetooth output, no bluetooth input.
This is great
I have a Fiio M6 as my player device, and now I can use the Bluetooth to let my Fiio player talk to my old HK stereo
How could I do this with 2 stereos and sync them to the same Fiio player for "whole home" sound?
Thx
You would have to have both a transmitter on one receiver and a receiver on the other stereo. Problem is latency.. It will drive you nuts.IMO
@@breakerbroke23 I was wondering if I hooked a Audioengine to each stereo, and had a stand alone Bluetooth transmitter sending to both B1's at the same time???
Feasible or no???
No issues with the volume being lower on the bluetooth than on FM, CD, Tape, or Phono?
On this receiver the BT unit has lower volume than FM and just a tad lower than my CD Player, Still better output than most any other BT unit I have used to date. (HK BTA10)
Have you tested a USB adapter so I can add bluetooth to my Sony STR series
Years ago I bought and tested a USB dongle unit, I did not like it at all, sound was terrible. Honestly have not tested another since.
I will look out there and see whats on the market.
Hi i have a Pioneer VSX-3300 Amp , will this work so i can play music from my phone, ipad, or anything else bluetooth
Yes, it will work very well on the 3300.
Is it possible to connect that stereo and put music and then record the music to a reel to reel machine ?
yes
I have an older LG 65UH6150 TV. Can I use this device to connect to the TV so that I can run the television sound through my vintage Marantz 2235B receiver? I think the TV can receive a BT signal, but will it transmit to this device?
The TV cannot receive a BT signal. The TV can transmit a BT signal to most any receiver. HOWEVER.... You need to look for a BT receiver that is LL ... low latency....
Be careful as a lot of these high end receivers are focused on audio quality and not LL for watching video.
I personally use a schitt modi3 DAC amzn.to/3V6Uool for playing TV through my home stereo, I take the optical out from the TV to the modi3 then go RCA out from the modi3 and feed into AUX in on my 2250b receiver. Zero lip sync issues and better audio quality. IMHO..
Cheers
@@breakerbroke23 Thank you for the reply! I tried one of those cheap DAC's (about $35) and, using the optical out from the TV/RCA inputs to my previous Pioneer tuner, all I got was a loud clicking noise. Was it the cheap DAC, or is there something in the TV's settings I should have changed?
Some TVs require you to change a menu setting for audio out. Check for OPT only.
I watched all the videos of the bluetooth devices and it made me confused so I want you to give me the best bluetooth device so that I can be convinced to buy the product, I have an old classic hi-fi device and I hope to find the solution and have a high quality bluetooth stereo, thank you
I have tried to add small Bluetooth chips to my Sony hifi and the volume and clarity was very low. After a lot of tinkering around I am planning to get the Bludento BLT-HD. I'm not an audiophile so it should be more than enough for my needs.
Hi. What about the fusion you liked. I just ordered one
I like the Fusion, still runs today. As with all electronics, things change. New gear comes out and it is almost impossible to keep up with. Cool thing is, if you get into BT you can always use the devices on other stereos, like Car, garage, boat and on. If you don't like BT, then your not out big bucks. Cheers.
breakerbroke23 Hi. Good answer. The fusion literally just showed up at my door haven’t installed it yet. Then I saw your new video , Lol. Timing is everything. Thanks for posting. Looking forward to installing my fusion and. Adding more punch as well. Great video. Thank you.
Will this transmit music to a wireless speaker at the same time as my wired speakers?
No, this is a bluetooth receiver. You would need a bluetooth transmitter to do that, and if your wired speakers are near your wireless speaker you will get and echo effect(latency)because there is a slight delay going through the bluetooth transmitter. I do have a video showing how to add a transmitter to your stereo. Cheers
@@breakerbroke23 Thank you! I was planning to use my wireless speaker outside (not too far) while my wired music played at the same time inside the house when I host guests.
@@breakerbroke23 I'll look for the transmitter. Thanks!
Which one is tape in? My amp has tape rec, and play.
Rec is input
breakerbroke23 thanks!
What is the newest version of it?
amzn.to/3M3FdK8
Once this goes to sleep after 6 minutes can you reconnect to it without powering it off and back on again? Thanks?
BluDento is plug & play( no sleep/idle mode).
Is it worth spending $300 + on a Vintage unit? I understand the benefits but the prices are getting ridicules high for old receivers.
Old stuff becomes classic collectibles, go to a pawn shop and you’ll likely be educated 😂😂😂👈🏼
Or museums 😂😂😂👈🏼
IMHO YES!
But keep in mind these receivers are 40+ years old and can give you trouble from time to time ( caps, dirty volume control etc ) and then there are receivers that just keep going flawlessly. So as say its a crap shoot:) Sound wise the vintage units do sound better, by far. Most modern receivers do not have the amplifier section and pre section that the older units have. (OMG AV receivers are the worst!) Get the right unit like a Marantz, Pioneer, Sansui in good condition and when or if you decide to sell it you will more than likely get out of it what you paid or you may make a few dollars. Cheers
i love old vintage receiver, their quality is way beyond anything under a thousand and dollar these days and they look better
But does it match the volume of the tuner or a cd player?
The output of the BT unit is roughly the same as CD player. FM on this tuner is always a bit louder than other modes. On one of my Marantz units the volume for FM is crazy loud.
the Audioengine B1 Bluetooth is $180. That's pricey. I'll stick to my audio cable on my lap top for now.
This BT Receiver sounds every bit as good if not just a tad better (IMHO) and at 1/2 the cost. Read the description box for special ordering information. th-cam.com/video/BDHeloWPVtk/w-d-xo.html The DAC in a lap top doesn't even come close to these Hi End receivers.
Hey thanks for the video, quick question...
My stereo/console doesn't have an "aux" audio input but it has the "PHONO" input as well as a "VCR DAT" input. Would I be able to use these inputs instead? Thanks!
VCR/DAT Audio inputs will work just fine (Red&White RCAs). FYI.... Phono will not work as it is way to sensitive, it is not meant for standard line level.
