Vinyl to multiroom

I understand you can plug a record player into a Sonos Connect to then send to a Sonos speaker, can you send to multiple sonos speakers? And do you need a phono stage or is there one built into the connect or connect amp?

    Do i not lose a lot of the sound quality doing this? It seems like a lot of toing and froing for the sound to get from source to speaker?

    No, the ADC has a FAR lower noise floor than any vinyl record will ever have, and far lower distortion than any cartridge/stylus, especially after the stylus has worn and picked up dust.

    There will be a significant time difference.

    If I were to replace the airport express with an Apple TV could I utilise the optical points on both the connect and AppleTV. Instead of using up one of the analogue points on the Connect. What is the optical point on the Connect, actually it says its an output so my suggestion here may not work.

    If everything goes though the Connect via the tape loop, zero delay, everything will be in synch. Not sure what you're trying to do.

    I have an amplifier with tape loop, a pair of Q acoustic speakers, a turntable and an airport express and an apple TV. I am looking to buy a sonos connect and a few Sonos Play speakers.

    My aim is to be able to do three things:
    Play a record to my Q speakers and a few sonos speakers simultaneously.
    Stream music from my phone on the sonos app to my Q’s and the sonos speakers.
    Stream music from my phone via airplay to the connect and to my Q’s and the sonos speakers.

      So just make sure all sources go through the tape loop, and your amp will be in sync with the Sonos speakers, because the Connect will add the same delay to its line out that it adds to SonosNet.

        Record out to Connect In
        Record in from Connect Out

        Then make sure amp's "tape monitor" button is selected.

          If I have two sources plugged into the amp ie, airport and a TT. Do I just select the source I want then switch the Record option on well to push that source out to the passive speakers and the Sonos. And then if I want to stream Sonos to passive and sonos network I turn the Record option off and switch source on the amp to what?
