Any tips on this subject guys?

Going to buy a turntable and have the choice of a Flexson VinylPlay or a Pro-Ject Essential II Digital.

I can't find too much info on linking the Pro-Ject to the sonos, does anyone happen to own one?
I plan to use my Play:5, which I'm assuming I can plug directly into as the Flexson does?

The Pro-Ject turntable seems to be getting slightly better reviews in terms of sound quality, so it looks like this is the one I'll be going for, if the setup is as simple as the Flexson.

I have a Rega Planar 1 turntable, which I connect to a Play 5 with a pre-amp. Just a case of plugging the cable from the pre-amp into the Play 5 and using the line-in option on the Sonos App.

Really impressed with the Rega Planar 1 turntable.

Plays though a Play 1, Play 5, Playbase and Sub.

There can't be an awful lot in it surely?

The Flexson sports a Rega arm (same arm as on the RP1 if I'm not mistaken) and what looks to be a wooden plinth not entirely dissimilar to the Rega...

I suspect the Rega arm is better than the arm on the Project too - that same (or very similar) arm is used on many different turntables and is used to good effect by the "modders" out there who fit it to various other turntables after applying their mods.

I'm not linked to Smart Home Sounds in anyway. I have purchased a few items from them though.
