More Sources than Inputs

You can use a Radio Shack Realistic 'Tape Control Center' box feeding into one of the line inputs and this will allow three inputs switchable at the front of the box. The only concern is that this unit is not in the class of your equipment and you will have to listen to see if it meets your requirement and without a degredation of sound. This arrangement has served me well when needed. I currently use one into a Rawland Coherence One preamp in order to switch between a single CD player and a CD changer. If no longer available at Radio Shack, they are easy to find at flea markets at $5.00 or less.

Thank you for the responses. Those suggestions were pretty much along my same line of thought.

I have a couple of the Entech/Monster Cable switchers mentioned by Jameswei above with manuals and orig. boxes for $40 each plus shipping if anyone's interested. Original MSRP was over $300. They're fine for use with secondary sources and can be remote-controlled. Dave

I would advocate for something more practical such as the purist switch box by 47 Labs as well as another model by Luxman. The only drawback of the 47 Labs unit is that it is costly...along the lines of at least $600, but the Luxman is relatively affordable at around $200. I own the 47 Labs switcher and although it is expensive, it is worth every single penny when it comes down to the sound or the pristiness of the source. I would be reluctant to add more sources on the cheap, for the Joule is an excellent linestage.... and any plain old switch box would most definetly be a sonic compromise, of course, for some the choice of switching convenience would need to take into account economics.

The Luxman switcher can be had for $200 and when I was in Japan this July, I can attest to the excellent execution of the present Luxman line....Check Audiocubes for it.
