I’m starting off with Sonos by connecting a Beam to an LG TV and with a view to later on linking in two Play:1 speakers.
I’ve then seen that it is possible to connect an external turntable using a connect box. Looking at prices it is possible to get a second hand ZP80 for a lot less than the current ZP90 version.
So is there a lot difference between the two models or would the ZP80 suffice? As the turntable would be in the same room as the Beam and Play:1 speakers then I don’t want to look at another speaker such as a Play:5. If the ZP90 is the better alternative then I would look at that but if the cheaper ZP80 works well then that is the preferred option

I have ZP-80s and they are working just fine, they are old though. The ZP-90 name is gone, Sonos calls them the Connect now.

Just know that as a 1st generation Sonos device, if/when Sonos starts retiring player devices, it will be the first to go. But we are not there yet. Personally, I'm moving to a new home in 6 months and at that time the ZP80 on my A/V system will be replaced by a Connect, and I'll move the ZP80 to the treadmill or something.

Excess ZPs make handy headphone amps.
Thanks for the late reply back - delayed delivery for the TV and Beam caused that ! Finally got them installed over the weekend and very impressed with the Beam. Will bear in mind your info guys, much appreciated !
