Why? A cheap crappy turntable with a built-in pre-amp will be pretty awful, less good than mp3 at high bit rate. Get a Linn Sondek and Naim pre-amp and you'll be good to go. Although then you'll want to digitise it and put it into your Sonos, so why bother. Seriously.

Its all very confusing so it might be a trip to Richer Sounds as they are sually tulip hot with subject knowledge

Is this the same problem?
Edit: Isn't the difference between Connect:AMP and Connect (std) that you can plug speakers direct in to the former but the latter has to go through another device (stereo/TV). Therefore if they treat the inputs the same via the std red/white RCA cables then your turntable needs to be able to handle it. So it may require a preamp.

Any audiophiles?
I want to get a vinyl turntable and hook it upto my SONOS system, reading up etc people say make sure I get a turntable with a preamp, would this become irreverent if I got the SONOS Connect:AMP rather than the base Connect?Tags: None
