Amp switcher


Does anyone have any experience with the niles dps-1? I'm interested in connecting a tube amp to my anthem D2v but only want to use it for stereo/music listening. Will using this device between my amp(s) and pre/pro cause any degradation in sound?

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry, you are right! I am using the SPK-1 (with automatic switching and the larger binding posts). Didn't mean to confuse everyone. I did not pay close attention to the mdel designation in the original post and assumed you were asking about the SPK-1.

I use banana plugs to connect to the speakers, the Niles and the amps. The unit sits on the floor behind may cabinet, but you can wall mount it, if you want. I got mine from OneCall and got the 12v DC trigger from them when I got the unit. I've been using this set up for over a year w/o any issues.

If you are concerned about the tube amp, just make sure you turn it off before switching. You would do that anyway, so it's not that much of a hassle.
Catama,

Can you halp me out with what kind of 12v trigger you used? A bit of a newbie question, but looking at the manual, it appears I need a y cable with a +/- connection. Before looking I assumed it was just a 3.5mm plug.
I'm thinking about using a Niles Audio DPS-1 to switch between amps. When anyone has employed the DPS-1 did you use the same speaker wires all around or did you use different speaker wires for each amp as well as for the speakers?

I'm being forced to remove one of my speaker pairs and now have to use a switcher to select which amp I'm going to use. Previously I had different speaker wires from each amp to each set of speakers. Now with this consolidation I'm confused as to what to do wire wise.

Thanks
