Hi Sonos Timelords. I have a great Sonos system. Connect:amp series 2. player sub mini and two architectural speakers hard wired to  the connect:amp. Does everything as promised. I have a massive vinyl collection and purchased Project turntable,Project e pre-amp and Port. Run the TT and CD player through Port as line-in.  CD. fidelity is perfect,  TT so distorted as to be unlistenable. I lie to vinyl experience. Should I seperate the analogy and digital systems completely or is there something I am missing. I note the TT-Port issue is common. Please help before I have a stroke.

Hi Peeps. Thought I would close the loop. Purchased an expensive set of rca interconnect cables between phono box e and port. Problem solved!!! Wouldn’t have thought quality of cables so significant. Thank you all

    More info that will be very helpful for those playing turntable via port. Neither the Project TT or phono box e are connected to earth. By earthing the ground terminal on the phono box all hum and distortion are gone. Very important issue that wasn’t discussed
