Sound distortion with turntable and Sonos Five

I have a Sony turntable connected to a five speaker.  When playing the turntable through this speaker there seems to be a lot of echo and sound distortion.  I have attached a picture of my setup.  I do have another five in my system and when I stream through that one only sound is great.  I have switched them with one another to see if the speaker was the issue but it's not.  I have also placed the speaker connected to turntable on the floor, further away from turntable and sound is better. I'm wondering if the speaker just needs to be further away or should it work as pictured?

Yes, you answered your own question, try and get the TT and Five as far away from each other.

 I don't have an apple home so haven't done trueplay.

 Bummer.

Also: There may be a way to escape the last word above by borrowing an iPhone to do the tuning. It is just a 15 minutes job, and may allow you to retain placement the way you want it to be.

Will test out the lifting of the speaker tomorrow.  When I stream music the speaker works fine, so yeah, that basically tells me it's a TT issue.
