Running Two TT into one phono input, best options?


I am pretty sure I have broached this subject before, heck I may have even made a similar thread in the past.

But here is my quandary.

I have three TT but only two input on my phono.

I really do NOT want to plug/unplug every time I want to use one that is not plugged in atm.

So is there any good option for very low level switching out there?

My quick Google searching brought up a USA company called Decware that make passive preamps and switch boxes. What caught my eye was that they specifically have an option to configure a unit as low level tonearm input instead of line level.
Which sounds perfect to my ears, maybe....

www.decware.com.

Anyone ever used one of these or have other options or solutions?
Thanks and stay safe.

Uber, If you are hoping for someone to tell you there is a perfectly transparent switch to solve your problem, you are hoping in vain.  I do know that Dave Slagle of EMIA can make you a fantastically good switch to solve your problem, but even he would probably not want to claim it's going to be perfect.  Using two Y adapters is absolutely the worst idea, IMO, because that does crazy things to the impedances seen by both the two cartidges at one end and the phono stage at the other end.  I wouldn't go with something cheap in hopes it will sound great.  When you come right down to it, plugging and unplugging ain't so bad.
