KEFLS50 Wireless - Possible to plug Turntable *and CD Player into Single AUX Input ???

Title pretty much sums it up. 

I want to be able to plug both a CD player and my turntable into the LS50s rather limited, single AUX input.

I found some cheap "mini mixers" online for <$100, but I'm afraid they will result in significant signal loss.

Is there a more hi-fi solution?

The LS50's have several inputs, the AUX input will work for the TT as long as it is running through a phono stage first, like jond already stated. This allows the signal to be strong enough for the Aux analog input. Your CD player should have a "digital output" either optical or RCA or both, using the optical connection will bypass your CD players DAC while using the LS50's built in DAC instead. If you try and use the RCA inputs for both you will probably have to unplug the cable and switch them every time you change sources also youll be using your CD players DAC hooked up this way.....:-(
Get the optical going for digital and use the AUX inputs for your TT.
