I am about to ressurect my old hifi system (turntable, CD player, amplifier, passive speakers) in one of my rooms. I have Sonos components in the other rooms of the house. I’d like to be able to:
- continue to play music from my turntable and CD player through my old amplifier and speakers
- stream music from Sonos to my old amplifier and speakers
- send music from my turntable and CD player to the Sonos components in other rooms
The amplifier (Mission Cyrus 1) has inputs: phono, CD player, aux, video, tape; and a tape output.
Reading around, I think what I need to buy is a Sonos Port, and connect it as follows:
- Leave turntable and CD player, and passive speakers, connected to amplifier as before
- Connect Port IN to amplifier tape out
- Connect Port OUT to amplifier tape input
I then select tape input on the amplifier if I want to stream through my old amplifier and speakers. To send music from turntable or CD player to my other Sonos components, I select the appropriate input on my amplifier, select tape out as the output on my amplifier, and play the Port ‘room’ on the Sonos app.
Did I get that right? If so, any caveats or wrinkles I should be aware of? If not, please (gently!) tell me what I’m missing.
Many thanks
