Teac TN-280BT-A3 Turntable with Sonos Ray Soundbar

Hoping someone can help!
I have a TEAC Bluetooth turntable and want to connect it to my Ray Sonos soundbar, I was hoping not to have to buy another Sonos speaker as I already also have a SubMini and my living room isn;t that big!
I have found an item (Brennan VB1) which according to the info, can plug into the turntable using audio cables, then using the Brennan app, sync it to the Sonos soundbar, but i’m a bit sceptical and hoped someone here may be able to shed some light?

Yep, ‘tinny and distorted’ indeed signals the need for a preamp. A preamp not only brings the signal up to line in level, but also applies some equalisation. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIAA_equalization

Hi everyone, reporting back… switching the phono to on worked! So all in all I reckon the Brennan VB1 is pretty good…. 👍🏻
