need more inputs & outputs to run tape machines

Hi Everyone,I am looking for some kind of switcher box so I can run 15 or 20 tape recorders from my McIntosh 6800 int. amp which has only 3 inputs & 3 outputs for tape recorders.Right now I am using a few radio shack tape recorder switcher boxes,but there must be a better way to do this ?

To the OP, what are you doing?  Why would anyone want to connect 15 or 20 tape decks to a consumer class integrated amp?  Please explain.

Your amp has three full tape loops.  Why not use long interconnects and have 3 tape decks hooked up at a time?  When you want to switch to a different deck simply switch the cables at the tape deck end.

Alternatively, you could use a Niles or Sony tape deck switcher.  Each allows you to hook up 3 tape decks to a single tape loop.  If you got three of them you could have 9 tape decks simultaneously connected.

Good luck!
