I posted this question in the general section, but it probably belongs in this group:

My son just got a JBL Spinner Turntable in his room. We have some “One’s” and a Subwoofer in the house connected through ethernet (wifi).

How can he hook his Turntable to those speakers, as he’s excited to introduce his “old parents” to his fresh music vibes (which also includes Abbey Road from the Beatles:)

This is his Turntable: https://www.jbl.com/home-speakers/SPINNER-BT.html

It seems there are various options, but looking to see if someone has experience with this so we get the best results. 

Thank you

To me the best way would be to connect it to one of the “ones” using a line in, from the output on the turntable.   That might be the only option.  If the ones are in the same room then you could set them up as a stereo pair, and that will give excellent sound.

There’s no line-in on a One. Go for ​@Stanley_4’s suggestion. Or get a speaker with line-in (Five or Era-with-adaptor) and an RCA to 3.5mm jack cable.  Sound quality will prob be better than via Bluetooth.

Since it offers Bluetooth as well as a line (RCA) connection you would need a Sonos that offers one of them as an input option, you could Group that to the Ones.

​@Family of five 

And just to clarify… that can’t be done with your existing devices, because Sonos One doesn’t support cabled input neither Bluetooth audio. 
I recommend a Sonos Era100 as the cheapest option. It supports both options (for cabled input the optional Sonos analogue to usb c audio adapter is necessary).

You might need a preamp if the JBL does not have an internals preamp.

It does have one… selectable on/off

It is a bit hidden in the specs but the JBL has a "defeatable MM phono stage" so the Sonos line in would work.
