I was debating getting rid of my vinyl and replacing with a FLAC player. One of my complaints was that the vinyl is only enjoyed in one room, a FLAC could be connected to our Sonos system and played throughout the house. Also, the amount of space saved would be appealing. My wife talked me into keeping my vinyl.
I realized that you can actually connect your phono to the Sonos system, as well.. that has changed a lot for us. Now when I throw on an album, it automatically plays in that room, as well as my kitchen. Pretty neat!
