The wife wants a turntable as she's seen the increase in vinyl available, we've got numerous Sonos speakers throughout the house so I'm assuming Sonos make something I can take the audio input from the turntable and then stream to the Sonos speakers, what Sonos component(s) do I need?

I believe a sonos play 5 is the only way.
Hopefully someone will prove me wrong.

When we had Sonos we had the turntable straight into the back of Connect... I don't recall whether we needed a pre-amp in between or not but I have a feeling that the app allowed input to be cranked up enough.


Don't forget to lift the needle at the end of the LP. Once you've got used to streaming you tend to forget that there's a physical element to a turntable. I've often come into the room that has the TT in to find it's been happily hitting the run out hours after someone stopped the rest of the system.

Several different brands offer them, some don’t need a pre-amp as it is build in.

From memory a Connect and Connect:Amp and the newer Play:5 offer line-in. But the other play’s don’t. Need to double check mine here.

For Decks, Pro-Ject and Flexon definitely do decks to connect to Sonos.
