audio switcher


wondering if anyone uses an audio switcher and if so what they are using. i have the analog sources and only one analog input on my dac/preamp. it would be used for phono, ipod, and an internet radio box.

I initially bought the one that monoprice has for real cheap, and not surprisingly it degraded the signal and introduced a lot of interference. I then purchased the Niles AXP-1 and have not had any issues. This is a basic passive switch with no remote.

As for what rdavwhitaker said, the pure i20 is such an ipod dock that is reasonable in cost. I have not heard it though.
I use a Kramer VS-55A. Switches between a tube phono stage, digital tuner and cd into a Sophia Baby. No sound difference with or without (direct) it. Bought it on Audiogon for $75.00.
Like Aps7k I have used a Niles AXP-1 input selector for switching sources. I was surprised as to it's weight and build quality. I thought it was going to be some lightweight switch box but it was quite solid. I've had no issues sound wise at all with it.
I had asked the same question and ended up with the Goldpoint. It works flawlessly, no degrading the sound.

Good luck, John
I got a reasonable deal on an older PS pre amp. I use it to feed into my Sophia Baby via the tape out on the pre. It works whether or not I turn it on. But I found I could use a Sub with this. I do have to use both the volumn control on the amp and the pre. It's working well in my situation. I paid more for an extra IC cable than I did for the pre.
