better quality "Y" adapter needed

I don't know where to get them, but my local stereo shop lent me a y-connector that was a gold plated solid block y-connector (no wires involved). It worked very well for doing an A-B comparison when auditioning interconnects. It allowed me to run two different cables from my CD player into my preamp, and then I could listen to each cable by switching the inputs at the preamp.

Someone else here can probably recommend a source.

"Quest For Sound" has a phoenix gold adaptor that is a piece of metal rather than a cable that should suit your purpose. The guy I talked to at Quest for Sound is very nice and is listed under dealers at Audiogon.

Radio Shack has a gold plated solid (no wires) connector. It works very well and is not very expensive.

Monster makes an inexpensive "T" available at www.audioadvisor.com. Jerry Raskins sells a similar product at www.needledoctor.com. A number of high end cable manufacturers will make you a custom "Y" at higher prices, and you have to wait for them to do it. I got a pair of Golden Cross "Y's" from Cardas for $150 each. Good luck.
