Trettire's Retro Ambient Audio System offers a full hi-fi system with no wires

The Retro Ambient Sound System (RASS) from Trettire brings back the charm of physical media in a modern audio setup. This full hi-fi system includes a vinyl turntable, a CD player, and a cassette player, all housed on a magnetic metal rack with a phone holder. The centerpiece is the record player, featuring an Audio-Technica AT-3600L phono cartridge, a self-balancing tone arm, and a manual speed knob with up to ±5% adjustment.

The system supports Bluetooth connectivity with high-end codecs like AptX, AptX HD, and AptX Adaptive, along with a 3.5 mm auxiliary output. Controls are intuitive and physical, avoiding menus and touchscreens. Despite the vertical orientation posing a challenge, the self-balancing tone arm ensures stability. All components are magnetic, allowing for easy pickup and placement on a table.

Each unit operates independently with its own battery, USB-C charging port, and Bluetooth connection. The record player also supports wireless charging via a T-shaped adapter. The CD player's interface has physical buttons with unique shapes and an OLED screen for track information. The cassette player boasts chunky, inviting buttons, although no high-end audio codecs are mentioned.

The Trettire Retro Ambient Sound System is available for pre-order on Kickstarter for $399 (plus $76 shipping) for those who pledge during the late period, or $429 for the early bird. Individual components are also available for purchase separately.
