As Sidssp inferred, you COULD use a splitter, if you also used a switch, so that the phono circuit was only "seeing" one of the two cartridges at any one time, or to put the same concept in another way, so that the cartridge you are listening to will not "see" the other cartridge in parallel with the phono input impedance. This probably would require an outboard box containing a switch plus two pairs of phono inputs. If you decide to do that, just hard wire the from the internal leads to the one phono input on your preamp (i.e., I would advise you to avoid using yet another pair of ICs with another set of RCAs to do this).
2 turntables and one phono stage - Can I???
I have 2 turntables in my system, my phono stage has one set of RCA inputs. Up to now I have been swapping them out manually whenever I switched tables however its getting to be a pain to crawl behind the rack to swap out ICs. Can I safely use a splitter on the phono stage to accept both turntables or will that mess something up?
Thanks
