Kind of related to Sonos. Does anyone have any idea of where to get info for some home stereo stuff? I have no fucking clue, but the PO of my place was a bigwig in the music industry, and as such has the whole place wired with speakers for his huge vinyl collection.
Me being a vinyl connoisseur with about 14 records and climbing, need to wire my record player to take advantage of this. All the wiring is there, so I’m assuming I just need a receiver? Any suggestions?

I have a pro-ject turntable. Currently I have it just running through a single Marshall speaker with a little mini amp. I’d be cutting out the speaker and mini amp and wiring directly to the receiver and wiring the speakers to the receiver.
My buddy gave me a vintage technics receiver, but it doesn’t seem to be functioning. Might just be a fuse or might be something beyond that, that needs repair. I haven’t spent the time yet to get it working, but think maybe getting something newer that I can at least play digital music as well might make more sense since my collection is so small.
I should mention I have no interest in hooking it up to the TV for movies or anything, since we never really watch anything other than bluey, which for the record is actually awesome, but doesn’t require HI-FI to enjoy lol.

Hey Westopher, you can get a multi zone receiver to manage the speakers so that you can decide whether to play them in 1 room, 2 room, all rooms etc. A lot of the newer ones will also come with Bluetooth/Airplay/Chromecast capability so you can send Spotify/Amazon Music etc. to them for use.

If you want to talk more offline (probably easier to get details regarding zones/power/features etc.) you can DM me or get my number from Culverin/GMS.

That said I only really care if the living room and kitchen are set up cause I’m not gonna play records upstairs and go sit in my room downstairs

Based on that, yeah, I think the way to go is to get a receiver to connect the speakers to and to connect your turntable into it. I don't think you need to go balls-out on a receiver given these are ceiling-mounted speakers, and you don't know what they are.

Your use case is simple enough where you can get a basic Sonos setup and it will more than satisfy your requirements with lots of room to grow. :)

The vinyl community has grown tremendously over the years which also meant new products to get into the hobby. You have lots of options and varieties to choose from.

Edit: If you decide you want help repairing the Technics receiver, try "The Turntable Shop" in North Van. The original owner passed away but the current manager, Connor, learned a great deal from him and is familiar with vintage HiFi repair. I knew the original owner as he helped me repair an old Technics turntable and vintage Marantz receiver way back in the day.
