Input limited

Setting up my Pioneer SX-1050. In the 70s all you had for other inputs was tape. Unit has Tape1, Tape2 and Aux. 

I also have CD and a Squeezebox. Both line level. 
So, how do I jam 2 inputs into the Aux? A plain RCA A-B switch box?

2 tape loops, 2 tape machines. Only Aux available.

Hard to find a plain audio switch with all in/out on the back. Next best thing includes composite video.  Found these 3 😊

Sorry gents. I should have mentioned I have a Sony cassette deck and a Teac open reel. The tape in/outs are used. My SAE 5000 is using the Adapter loop (originally for a Dolby unit). My EQ unit will be in the pre in/out loop.

I am left with Aux for the CD and Squeezebox.

Still only allows 1 device at a time. Bought the cheapest of the 3 switches. Will use the Aux and switch to connect CD and Squeezebox.

Using a Y with both devices attached changes the seen by the receiver impedance, no?
