Same for me....
Switching between 2 amps , 1 set of speakers?
Hello all..if I wanted to switch between 2 amps to my 1 set of speakers guessing the best way is the manual labor way of connecting / disconnecting cables ....is there a switcher that doesn’t degrade audio quality or way to do this using connecting cables from 1 amp to another using some in/out safely? Thanks

All switches, connectors will degrade audio
quality to some degree, and yes, the
best way is the manual labor way of connecting / disconnecting cables. For convenience: https://www.soundandvision.com/shop/tec~tc~7220~2~way~amplifier~speaker~selector~switch~switcher~com... https://www.outdoorspeakerdepot.com/7-pair-speaker-selector-with-remote-control.html?cmp=googleprodu... |
I have a separate tube preamp that I use that is connected to my other amp which is an SET 300B. I have two sets of speaker wires/connections, so all I have to do is change speaker connections at the speaker. Quick and easy, although it may not be cheap, depending on your selection of audio equipment and cables. Good luck, regards, Dan |

mrdecibel - all I have on the Sony amp is a Rec Out , no pre amp out , so I may be out of luck , no volume/eq control ....? back of receiver : http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/152037-sony_strv7_receiver__rare__serviced/images/182077/ |
Tommy , coming out of the Sony record out will not give you any volume or tone adjustment into the Marantz, but will allow your Sony to be used as a tuner, and / or the ability to listen to anything else connected through the Sony. Your volume will be through the Marantz. If you want some tone adjustment, you would need an eq of some kind connected through the Marantz. I would not feel the Sony worthwhile driving the Tekton DI se directly, as long as you have the Marantz. Just my opinion. Enjoy ! MrD. |

@cytocycle thanks for pointing to Luxman. Looks like a well built product. @douglas_schroeder is there no switch in the market that you feel is of sufficient quality?. When testing between amps, plugging and unplugging cables is quite a chore. If you think any switch will add color then I guess there is no choice. Very interested in your insight. |
