After a lot of research online for the best music streamer, I bought the Andover Songbird and have been very pleased with my purchase.
5 Reasons To Purchase The Andover Songbird Wifi Music Streamer:
- Affordable price of just $179.
- Easy to set up and beginning using straight out of the box.
- Streaming sounds better using wifi rather than bluetooth.
- The size of the unit is small and easy to store on an equipment shelf or rack.
- The Songbird app is easy to use.
Let’s discuss each of these reasons in depth below…
Judging by the name of this site, you understand that I’m a big fan of physical media whether it be vinyl records, cassettes or even CDs. But I’m also a fan of streaming music services which allow me to discover new artists or reissues that I want to buy on vinyl.
I’ve been buying records for over 20 years now and the good news is I have a wonderful collection. The bad news is I have over 2,000 records that take up a lot of space in our 1972 ranch home and I’m running out of room to add any more to the collection.
In an attempt to slow down the record acquisitions (until I can further address my storage issue), I began researching music streamers that could be added to my vintage Marantz 2270 receiver. This way I can listen to albums before purchasing to make sure they are must haves for my record collection.
I spent several weeks doing a lot of research and was about to pull the trigger on the Bluesound Node 2i, but I was nervous to spend $550 on a music streamer. Everything I read about the Node 2i made it seem like the perfect fit for my needs, but I just couldn’t shake the idea of spending over $500 for a music streamer. In all honesty, with a collection of over 2,000 records, how much will I really use a streamer?
I kept researching for more affordable options and I finally stumbled on the Andover Songbird music streamer and decided to take the plunge.
Below are five reasons I fell in love with this streamer.
