[Host] Want to make your old speakers wireless
without spending Sonos money?
Here are two cheap options.
First, the $89 Gramofon.
It plugs into your stereo with an aux cable
and connects to the cloud over Wi-Fi,
and your friends can connect instantly without logging in.
But if you're a Beats, Rdio,
or Songza subscriber, think again.
The Gramofon only works with Spotify.
For those audiophiles with even older analog speakers,
the $150 Griffin 20 works like a time machine
for your vintage gear.
This 20-watt amp will stream music via Bluetooth
from your phones or tablet,
and its enormous, old school, brushed aluminum volume knob
is a nice link to the days of LPs and mixed tapes.
Now you can turn up that Earth, Wind, and Fire in style.
