They were founded in 2012 by several home technology industry veterans led by Rob Mainiero, formerly with Cambridge Soundworks. This team of designers and engineers from the likes of Apogee Acoustics, Acoustic Research, Harman, Bose, and a\/d\/s\/ set out to be more of an OEM designer and manufacturer for the telecommunications, automotive, and high-performance audio industry. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith their fingers in multiple parts of the consumer electronics industry, the team based in North Andover, MA realized there was a huge growth happening in the resurgence of vinyl and a lack of super high-quality all-in-one vinyl playback system. The big issue of having an all-in-one unit is, of course, the fact that \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eit's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003enot a good idea to have your turntable super close to your speakers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Andover Audio engineers set out to solve this problem and did so with a new technology they call Isogroove™. This great tech allowed them to put a turntable directly on top of the pair of speakers. Andover Audio then teamed up with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/shop-by-brand\/pro-ject.html\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePro-Ject Audio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e and coupled their \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/pro-ject-debut-carbon-dc-esprit-sb.html\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDebut Carbon Esprit turntable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e with their isolation tech and a great amplifier\/speaker combination. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result was the Model 1, which was introduced in the fall of 2019 and immediately received tons of accolades from the audio press.

Towards the end of 2019, they introduced the Spinbase, which is the subject of today’s review.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Spinbase is an all-in-one speaker system in a very compact package that’s about the same width and depth as a typical turntable. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_one_sixth col_last\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_one_sixth col_last\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"max-width: 100%; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/AASpinbaseforweb.jpg\" alt=\"Audio Advice Spinbase\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_one_sixth\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_two_third\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eSpinbase Design \u0026amp; Build Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spinbase has a fairly retro look to it. It is available in a black or white finish and has a single large knob in the middle. At 18” wide,  13 ½” deep and about 3 ¼” tall, the size will accommodate just about any turntable you would likely use with the Spinbase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA finely perforated metal grill wraps around three sides of the unit with more controls and inputs on the back. There is a large Andover Audio logo right on the top that your turntable will cover-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince it's a little deeper than a typical bookcase, especially after you leave room for your turntable connection plugs, the Spinbase will not fit on a normal 12” deep bookshelf but will be right at home on any tabletop, desktop, or a small table. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild quality is very good for the price of the Spinbase. It's not like you would get on a $1,600 Naim all-in-one unit or $3,000 McIntosh, but for the price, it is pretty darn good.  The volume control feels solid and there is absolutely no wiggle or wobble in it. The rear input connectors are pretty standard for what you would expect in this price category. You will need to have it fairly close to an AC outlet as the power supply is an external wall wart with a fairly short cord of about 5’ in length. Or, you could simply use an extension cord to extend it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, we love the look and feel of the Spinbase. Just about every turntable we plopped down on top of it looked great.

It actually has two phono connections on the rear, one for normal magnetic moving magnet phono cartridges and another for ceramic cartridges. Ceramic cartridges are what you find on those el cheapo all-in-one “record players” you see sold in some record stores and big superstores like Target. Many of them do have an audio out which would allow you to connect up to the Spinbase and improve the sound, but we highly recommend you \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/50-dollar-jensen-turntable-amazon\/\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003estay away from this type of turntable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e if you care about preserving your records.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neat part is, the ceramic input can be switched with the flick of a toggle to be a line- in analog input to receive the output of a CD player, DAC or cassette deck.  Right beside the two sets of inputs you’ll find a handy bass and treble control and even a mini headphone jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final icing on the cake from an input perspective is the addition of Bluetooth 5.0. Connecting was quick and simple and within seconds we were streaming Tidal to our test unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is one heck of a great combination of inputs and controls that make the Spinbase a great all-in-one music center for your turntable. The great part is, other than its additional 3 ¼” of vertical space, the footprint for your new music system will not be much larger than the space your turntable already takes up!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you noticed the history of where some of the people on the Andover Audio team came from and you have been following the audio industry for a while, you might start to figure out how this would be a dream team to make a compact system that sounded great. Cambridge Soundworks was known for decades as making the best sounding table radios ever. The sound they got out of their very compact designs amazed most people. a\/d\/s way back in the 1970s had one of the best sounding little speakers ever made that was super popular for high- end car audio systems. The list goes on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell, this skinny little box from Andover Audio delivers on warm, musical, room-filling sound for your turntable! They do it with what is basically a stereo pair of speakers using two woofers and two tweeters. We were so curious as to how it filled up the room with wide sound, we took our sample apart to have a peek behind the grill. There are two forward-firing dome tweeters on each end of the front panel and two oval midbass\/bass drivers mounted on the sides firing out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis configuration gives the Spinbase a 270 degree sound field that creates a really pleasant room-filling sound. Each speaker driver has its own individual power amp. There is actually right much area inside the Spinbase to develop some decent bass, which helps with the warm sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe should point out one of us is extremely sensitive to speakers being in perfect phase. When this person was positioned directly in front of the Spinbase, there was a slight feeling of something being out of phase, likely due to the woofers and tweeters not being lined up, but it was very slight and totally disappears when you move even slightly off-center axis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne other piece of great tech that allows the Spinbase to even be viable is their Isogroove™ technology. It has always been a total no to put a turntable on top of speakers due to acoustic feedback issues. The team at Spinbase is using both mechanical and electronic compensation systems to eliminate any chance of feedback. We have to say, for $300, this is just an outstandingly good sounding product!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_one_sixth col_last\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_one_sixth col_last\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"max-width: 100%; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/AASpinbaseforweb3.jpg\" alt=\"Spinbase Front\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_one_sixth\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_two_third\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eSpinbase Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe gave the Spinbase a full gamut of testing using a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon as the turntable, a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/chord-mojo.html\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eChord Mojo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e as an analog input, and Tidal for Bluetooth 5.0 streaming. In each and every case, it provided a warm and rich sound, with never any trace of an edge. The tone controls are also very well thought out. Neither one has a dramatic effect and can be used more for fine-tuning. In other words, turning the bass control even wide open does not overdo the bass like we might have first expected. The treble is especially nice to back down just a shade on an overly bright recording. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spinbase turned out also to be a great background music player as it keeps its very warm sound even when you turn the volume down quite low. We also felt it sounded the best if you were right on top of it, but a few feet away. This is likely due to the 270-degree dispersion pattern they use. This does have some pros and cons. The pro is, for the casual listener, the sound it throws out into the room feels big and full. The con is, if you like to sit in the sweet spot and pick out a great stereo image, you would be better off with a powered speaker system. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe real surprise came when we cranked up the vinyl side quite loud. Their Isogroove™ tech really works! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eOverall Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Spinbase is the perfect option for someone who has very limited space and wants to have good vinyl playback. You can buy a turntable without a phono preamp built-in, which allows you to get a better table for the same money, and use the built-in phono preamp. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon’t get us wrong, the Spinbase is not as good as a separate pair of $4-500 powered speakers spread apart for better separation, but is a problem solver for space and someone who wants a lot of features.

The Andover-One turntable brings that sound to life. It starts under the surface, where a custom sandwich of MDF and steel establish an ultra-stable platform of high mass and low resonance. Your records are traced beautifully by a high-compliance Ortofon 2M Silver cartridge, working at the end of a super-stiff, ultra-light carbon fiber tonearm.

They were founded in 2012 by several home technology industry veterans led by Rob Mainiero, formerly with Cambridge Soundworks. This team of designers and engineers from the likes of Apogee Acoustics, Acoustic Research, Harman, Bose, and a\/d\/s\/ set out to be more of an OEM designer and manufacturer for the telecommunications, automotive, and high-performance audio industry. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith their fingers in multiple parts of the consumer electronics industry, the team based in North Andover, MA realized there was a huge growth happening in the resurgence of vinyl and a lack of super high-quality all-in-one vinyl playback system. The big issue of having an all-in-one unit is, of course, the fact that \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eit's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003enot a good idea to have your turntable super close to your speakers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Andover Audio engineers set out to solve this problem and did so with a new technology they call Isogroove™.

Andover Audio then teamed up with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/shop-by-brand\/pro-ject.html\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePro-Ject Audio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e and coupled their \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/pro-ject-debut-carbon-dc-esprit-sb.html\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDebut Carbon Esprit turntable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e with their isolation tech and a great amplifier\/speaker combination. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result was the Model 1, which was introduced in the fall of 2019 and immediately received tons of accolades from the audio press.

Towards the end of 2019, they introduced the Spinbase, which is the subject of today’s review.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Spinbase is an all-in-one speaker system in a very compact package that’s about the same width and depth as a typical turntable. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_one_sixth col_last\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_one_sixth col_last\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"max-width: 100%; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/AASpinbaseforweb.jpg\" alt=\"Audio Advice Spinbase\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_one_sixth\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_two_third\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eSpinbase Design \u0026amp; Build Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spinbase has a fairly retro look to it. It is available in a black or white finish and has a single large knob in the middle. At 18” wide,  13 ½” deep and about 3 ¼” tall, the size will accommodate just about any turntable you would likely use with the Spinbase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA finely perforated metal grill wraps around three sides of the unit with more controls and inputs on the back. There is a large Andover Audio logo right on the top that your turntable will cover-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince it's a little deeper than a typical bookcase, especially after you leave room for your turntable connection plugs, the Spinbase will not fit on a normal 12” deep bookshelf but will be right at home on any tabletop, desktop, or a small table. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild quality is very good for the price of the Spinbase. It's not like you would get on a $1,600 Naim all-in-one unit or $3,000 McIntosh, but for the price, it is pretty darn good.  The volume control feels solid and there is absolutely no wiggle or wobble in it. The rear input connectors are pretty standard for what you would expect in this price category. You will need to have it fairly close to an AC outlet as the power supply is an external wall wart with a fairly short cord of about 5’ in length. Or, you could simply use an extension cord to extend it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, we love the look and feel of the Spinbase. Just about every turntable we plopped down on top of it looked great.

It actually has two phono connections on the rear, one for normal magnetic moving magnet phono cartridges and another for ceramic cartridges. Ceramic cartridges are what you find on those el cheapo all-in-one “record players” you see sold in some record stores and big superstores like Target. Many of them do have an audio out which would allow you to connect up to the Spinbase and improve the sound, but we highly recommend you \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/50-dollar-jensen-turntable-amazon\/\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003estay away from this type of turntable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e if you care about preserving your records.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neat part is, the ceramic input can be switched with the flick of a toggle to be a line- in analog input to receive the output of a CD player, DAC or cassette deck.  Right beside the two sets of inputs you’ll find a handy bass and treble control and even a mini headphone jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final icing on the cake from an input perspective is the addition of Bluetooth 5.0. Connecting was quick and simple and within seconds we were streaming Tidal to our test unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is one heck of a great combination of inputs and controls that make the Spinbase a great all-in-one music center for your turntable. The great part is, other than its additional 3 ¼” of vertical space, the footprint for your new music system will not be much larger than the space your turntable already takes up!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you noticed the history of where some of the people on the Andover Audio team came from and you have been following the audio industry for a while, you might start to figure out how this would be a dream team to make a compact system that sounded great. Cambridge Soundworks was known for decades as making the best sounding table radios ever. The sound they got out of their very compact designs amazed most people. a\/d\/s way back in the 1970s had one of the best sounding little speakers ever made that was super popular for high- end car audio systems. The list goes on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell, this skinny little box from Andover Audio delivers on warm, musical, room-filling sound for your turntable! They do it with what is basically a stereo pair of speakers using two woofers and two tweeters. We were so curious as to how it filled up the room with wide sound, we took our sample apart to have a peek behind the grill. There are two forward-firing dome tweeters on each end of the front panel and two oval midbass\/bass drivers mounted on the sides firing out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis configuration gives the Spinbase a 270 degree sound field that creates a really pleasant room-filling sound. Each speaker driver has its own individual power amp. There is actually right much area inside the Spinbase to develop some decent bass, which helps with the warm sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe should point out one of us is extremely sensitive to speakers being in perfect phase. When this person was positioned directly in front of the Spinbase, there was a slight feeling of something being out of phase, likely due to the woofers and tweeters not being lined up, but it was very slight and totally disappears when you move even slightly off-center axis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne other piece of great tech that allows the Spinbase to even be viable is their Isogroove™ technology. It has always been a total no to put a turntable on top of speakers due to acoustic feedback issues. The team at Spinbase is using both mechanical and electronic compensation systems to eliminate any chance of feedback. We have to say, for $300, this is just an outstandingly good sounding product!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_one_sixth col_last\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_one_sixth col_last\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"max-width: 100%; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/AASpinbaseforweb3.jpg\" alt=\"Spinbase Front\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_one_sixth\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_two_third\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eSpinbase Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe gave the Spinbase a full gamut of testing using a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon as the turntable, a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/chord-mojo.html\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eChord Mojo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e as an analog input, and Tidal for Bluetooth 5.0 streaming. In each and every case, it provided a warm and rich sound, with never any trace of an edge. The tone controls are also very well thought out. Neither one has a dramatic effect and can be used more for fine-tuning. In other words, turning the bass control even wide open does not overdo the bass like we might have first expected. The treble is especially nice to back down just a shade on an overly bright recording. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spinbase turned out also to be a great background music player as it keeps its very warm sound even when you turn the volume down quite low. We also felt it sounded the best if you were right on top of it, but a few feet away. This is likely due to the 270-degree dispersion pattern they use. This does have some pros and cons. The pro is, for the casual listener, the sound it throws out into the room feels big and full. The con is, if you like to sit in the sweet spot and pick out a great stereo image, you would be better off with a powered speaker system. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe real surprise came when we cranked up the vinyl side quite loud. Their Isogroove™ tech really works! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eOverall Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Spinbase is the perfect option for someone who has very limited space and wants to have good vinyl playback.

And the diecast, machined aluminum platter acts as a flywheel, for an added degree of tonal clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eAutomatic Shutoff\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eFor your convenience, at the end of a side, the tonearm automatically lifts and returns to its rest and the platter stops. The automatic mechanism is engineered with acetal resin – a clever material that self-lubricates for exceptionally long operating life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eHigh-Precision Tonearm with Pre-Mounted Cartridge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eTo effortlessly track the record, the aluminum tonearm uses exceptionally precise metal bearings, low mass, an adjustable counterweight and integrated headshell. The pre-mounted AT 3600 phono cartridge from Audio-Technica helps bring out the inner beauty of your albums. And even if you’re new to turntables, setup is a snap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eThe Centerpiece of Your System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eAvailable in black or white finish, the SpinDeck 2 turntable is a cosmetic match for Andover Audio's SpinBase™ and SpinBase MAX systems.
