I have a turntable with built-in amp. It is connected to a Play5 and sounds fine. I am adding another Play5 and also have 5 Play1’s, 2 Beams and a Move in the house. Not that I will play all speakers for the turntable, but curious to know when do I need to consider adding an Amp or do I even need to if I just play records on the 2 Play5s and maybe the Beam (3 total speakers)? Thanks!

You only need an Amp if you plan on powering a set of passive speakers. With your current setup, you can already play the turntable audio to any/all speakers in your Sonos ecosystem.

do i need a SONOS 5 to connect a turntable ? I am considering a Bluetooth turntable. I have Sonos one’s and three’s throughout our house
None of your speakers support Bluetooth. Personally, I would not enjoy a Bluetooth turntable. Any SONOS player with a Line-In will accept a turntable’s preamp output. These include FIVE, PORT, AMP, and any of the ERA units (ERA units require the USB Line-In adaptor). Note that the ERA units require using the S2 controller.
