Ok, so I bought a cheap (£10) Bluetooth receiver (came with earphones) to use with my Sony Amp. The Amp is about ten years old and doesn't support bluetooth, so I thought this would be a good workaround to stream Spotify to my Amp and speakers.
I also bought a LEFT and RIGHT (white and red - I forget the term) cable.
So I plugged it all in, connected my iPhone to the adapter but the sound came out terrible, as if it were underwater and only picking up certain frequencies. i.e. some songs didn't play the lyrics, only the instruments, etc.
I tried swapping the polarity of white / red, but no joy, same results.
I tried the receiver with the provided earphones and my iPhone combination and it sounded fine. I have a pair of good Headphones which I will try tomorrow.

So, I guess the only difference is:
- The output from the device to the amp, the white/red wires. Could it be these are too cheap and nasty (they cost £2 from eBay).
- Or perhaps the Amp is trying to do something too sophisticated with the input, but I doubt this is the case? But I honestly have no idea? But maybe the device itself isn't up to the task? Device cost £10.
If anybody had any ideas, I would very much appreciate it, thanks, Alan.
