Right now I have a turntable running into a preamp then into my Connect. Then I've got a pair of powered speakers plugged into the Connect's output. The result is that I can play records through my Sonos system and/or through the powered speakers. This works fine but I'm considering upping my game and adding an actual stereo receiver and a pair of passive speakers to replace the powered speakers. The potential problem I see is that I'm moving the power source from the output side of the Connect to the input side of the Connect.
Instead of turntable-> preamp-> Connect -> powered speakers / Sonos speakers
It would be turntable-> preamp-> Powered receiver-> Connect-> Sonos speakers (the new passive speakers running directly off the new receiver)
I'm concerned that running a powered signal into the Connect then out to another powered source (Sonos Play1 speakers) could be a problem. Anyone know is the Sonos Connect can handle this kind of setup?
