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.

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

Tommy, might I suggest choosing the better sounding amp to connect to the DIs ( IMO the Marantz ), and connecting the Sony using a tape out into an input of the Marantz. Enjoy ! MrD.

@tommypenngotti  I believe @jcarcopo is using a switch between his amps. If you haven't discussed with him, might be worth doing so.
