Amp Switcher Advice Please


Recommended Posts

I'm in need of a good quality Amplifier Switcher that I can use between amps. I have 2 twin tube (paired) amps, 1 older classic Marantz amp/receiver, and my good ol' Denon amp. It might be a god idea if it had the capacity to accept up to 6 amps as I am going to be testing different tube amps from time to time.

I have 4 Khorns and I need something that will not compromise sound quality.

Anyone with experienced advice would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!

Yep, looks the same as here:

Just be sure you don't have those tube amps powered up without speakers connected!  So that I'm sure to never have more than 1 amp on at a time I have all my power cords labeled and routed to be near a power strip but never have more than 1 plugged in at a time.  I make sure the switch is set to the amp I'm plugging in.  

 

I looked at the inside of this switch... it is basically looks like a PCB with wide copper traces for the speaker connections.  I'm not using this in my main setup so I don't notice if there is any degradation.  My opinion is that adding connections like with a switch is going to compromise your sound quality at least a bit.   Moving equipment and speakers around to move connections over and over is an accident waiting to happen if you ask me though.

I agree with this statement Muel. It's not the time and hassle I'm worried about as much as safety. I imagine a minor loss of sound quality is worth that accident waiting to happen.

 

Thanks for your input!
