Nice tutorial! Thank you 🙏

I have an old Technics turntable. I bought a phono turntable preamp and i have the Sonos conect Gen 2 just what you have in the video presentation. It does conect,but the sound coming out of the sonos Play 1 speakers are bad,looks like it has inteference.What am i doing wrong?

Here is how to troubleshoot: 1. Check the Line-In settings from the Sonos App for the Connect 2. Make sure Line Out is set to “Fixed” 3. There is also an “equipment type” setting - set that for a lower type ie: audio equipment See if this fixes the issue. Otherwise, we may be a bad connection somewhere.

this was great. any chance you have a vid on how to use your retro receiver?

[@HiFiBrothers]

Unfortunately I no longer have the retro receiver but if it helps, I connected all my components to it and used the “Tape Out” connection to the Sonos Connect. When I wanted to listen to a specific component I just toggled the switch on my receiver to that device.

Does the connect work with Sonos S2 system?

[@HiFiBrothers]

Depends on the version but the ones typically labeled as “Connect” and not “Zone Player” will work on S2.

Its not as easy as buying a bluetooth rnabled vinyl player and just selecting that from the app as a source? I only have a sonos sound bar and a speaker lamp 😝

[@HiFiBrothers]

That’s just too simple 😆

no offence but this is not hifi-a decent mm cartridge can set you back 2-500 bucks-never but a t/t with built in phono preamp.. May as well stick to streaming cos you will never realise vinyl potentials' unless u spend the bucks.-do your research

For sure but the purpose of this video is to help meet in the middle. I have a Shure M95HE cart on this TT and I’m sure it’s being wasted in this setup….more about the convenience than the audio quality.
