Hello,
So I recently purchased a record player with a preamp so that I could play my records through the Sonos speakers that I have. Right now, I have the playbar and sub connect to my tv. How can I connect my record player to play through these speakers? I know the connect and connect:amp would work, but is there a cheaper option that would also work, while not compromising the sound quality?

The Playbar requires a digital input so you need an analogue-to-digital converter. Something like this would do the trick, I think, although you need to check exactly what connection options the turntable / pre-amp offer:

You will also need a digital optical switch so that you can select the TV or turntable as the source.

You should be able to source these, or their equivalents, wherever you are based.

I hope that helps.
