Degritter is up to software version 4.0.2 I believe. Easy peasy operation to load the newer software. I don't need to remind you of a certain Audio Desk Systeme that is for sale here, do I? No, I don't.It's actually the MK II. Nice find! Thanks!

Is there a consensus on best ways to connect phono to Sonos? I have Sonos throughout my house for casual listening/TV but my turntable (Fluance RT85) and preamp (NAD C 316BEE V2) are isolated in my office. I'd love to stream the sound of that system to my Sonos speakers. Have read some reviews of the Sonos Port which are sort of "meh" considering the price point. Any opinions?
If you have one of the newer speakers like a Move 2 or Era 100/300 you can use a USB-C Line adapter with a 3.5 to RCA jack to connect your TT.Is there a consensus on best ways to connect phono to Sonos?

You’d have to unplug the TT to connect it to the amp or the speaker every time you wanted to switch though right?If you have one of the newer speakers like a Move 2 or Era 100/300 you can use a USB-C Line adapter with a 3.5 to RCA jack to connect your TT.

Yes seems like @CroutonBoy is using the NAD C 316BEE V2 built-in phono stageUnless you had a phono stage with two outputs, there are a good few of those about!
If you want to use the TT with another (non-Sonos) system you’d have to connect it to that system.You’d have to unplug the TT to connect it to the amp or the speaker every time you wanted to switch though right?

Thanks everyone. It seems the consensus is "harder than it needs to be" so maybe I will sit tight for a while.Unless you had a phono stage with two outputs, there are a good few of those about!
Please let us know how you like it.Those of you here that use a Degritter @Portland Sheriff @sulken not sure who else... Do you use the detergent that comes with it or some other type? And do you use a surfactant?
Haha I don't actually have it yet, but I think I'm just going to YOLO the fuck outta it and just grab it later this week.Please let us know how you like it.
Cool! I’m going to send a shit load of old vinyl to you for you to flatten and clean for me. Alright?Haha I don't actually have it yet, but I think I'm just going to YOLO the fuck outta it and just grab it later this week.
Better get some solid shipping quotes first.Cool! I’m going to send a shit load of old vinyl to you for you to flatten and clean for me. Alright?
You wouldn't be the first, be my guest! Although it is terrifying to flatten other people's stuff.Cool! I’m going to send a shit load of old vinyl to you for you to flatten and clean for me. Alright?
I use the Degritter brand liquid. I don’t use anything else. When I bought it, I watched a bunch of video reviews and read about people using various formulas, but they were too involved for me to want to think about.Those of you here that use a Degritter @Portland Sheriff @sulken not sure who else...

I use Wharfedale Lintons for TV and have no complaints. What’s most important to me is having great musical audio as it’s what gets utilized by far the most. Idek what I’m missing out on with Lintons as my entertainment speakers.Rhetorical question: Am I nuts? (Seriously, you don’t need to answer that!)
This is our family room, the two channel rig is in the living room and home theater is in the basement. Normally if I’m doing anything in here it’s either watching news or listening to an Audible story. But…. The kids use this all the time, as does my wife. We currently have a Sonos Arc soundbar hooked up to the TV with ARC and CEC. The room also has a couple game systems for the kids and a Chromecast (which I may swap to a AppleTV 4K I have just sitting in a box).
Anyway, the Sonos is fine for TV, ok for Audible, sucks for music. Also, the speakers on the side that are supposed to bounce sound around just mean they fire sound down a hallway on one side. And do not in anyway create “surround sound.” I’m debating swapping the Sonos out for a Naim Mu-So 2 or maybe a pair of KEF LS50 Wireless 2. Is this just me over thinking how I could get better sound or …. Is this just me being an audiophile and being allergic to soundbars?
Has anyone here compared a Sonos Arc to a Naim Mu-So II, or is anyone using a stereo pair of LS50’s for TV?

I would get an AVR, a center and a pair of bookshelves. Let the AVR adjust the acoustics for the room dimensions. Enjoy the next rabbit hole maybe a sub tooRhetorical question: Am I nuts? (Seriously, you don’t need to answer that!)
