Can I hard wire connect two audio sources simultaneously, such as a turntable and a CD or other audio player, to Amp? Amp only has one line in option and I hate the idea of plugging and unplugging every time. And I'm too cheap to buy two amps. Or even an amp and Port.

My first thought would be to use amp for one input and use one of my Era100s for another, which would then stream to all of my aero 100s and move simultaneously. Would this be the best avenue or is there another? An audio input switcher or splitter? Would prefer not to use Bluetooth. 

S0mething like this should work for you.

Your plan to use the line in on the Era 100 would work as well.

Awesome thanks!

Thank you!

I did think of another scenario to bounce off of you. I have an old school receiver with a phono stage so I could plug turntable and another audio source into old school phono and aux in, then go "tape"  out from old school to Sonos amp. The old school is rated at 250 W if that matters. (Tape lol). Thoughts?

Ok, I completely misread that.

Yes, that should work. 
Note that there would always be a slight delay when sending to the Sonos. When receiving from the Sonos system, no delay.

Great I guess the delay isn't an issue if it's just audio and there's no syncing issues involved. Thanks for the info!

Correct.  The complaints are generally when someone tries to use the line in for TV audio, DJing, or a microphne/PA setup.

Right.  And all the speakers, as well as TV via hdmi will be driven through Sonos not the old school. Thanks.
