Why not Y cords?
Toggle between amps
Interesting question for y’all…
I am building a pretty nice listening set-up based around Ojas speakers and a single ended triode amp. No pre-amp because I my source is 2 Technics mk7’s running through a Mastersounds analog rotary mixer. This is all working really great for my listening room.
Previous to this, I was running a single turntable to a sonos 5 (with a pro ject phono pre in between). This allowed me to play that source through the entire house because I have sonos throughout.
So - here’s the question… I’m trying to figure out how to create a way to easily toggle my mixer’s output to either my SET amp for the listening room or to the sonos > whole house. Like some kind of switch I guess.
any suggestions appreciated.

Also Hosa makes many good switches. I have an 2 optical switches by them. https://www.amazon.com/stores/HosaHome/page/4ABA53B7-A9C0-4D9A-A815-3AA4C7AF5C11?ref_=ast_bln |
Both options presented can work. If you plan to leave the amps on, a switch will be required, but if you plan to enable signal output by turning the amps on and off, a signal splitter is all you need. IMO you can get better signal quality through a quality splitter vs a switch. If you are running single ended / RCA, then consider these, which will allow you to run whichever RCAs you want vs a Y-cable: https://silversonic.com/products/connectors/y-block-connector/ |
