    In-rush Switch Box for McIntosh 240: Necessary?

    About 30 years ago I had a "Guy" who fixed my MC240, and he built a switch box for the amp (see below pics). Turn on righthand switch: both outlets received power. Once the 150W bulb became fully bright, turn on left switch: bulb turned off, all power to MC240. I took his word that this was good...

    Sony SB-500, Akai DS-5 or DBX 2000 ?

    I have 3 recording devices (a Nak Cassette 2, a Nak 550, and a RaspberryPI ADC ) which need to be connected in different combinations to a NAK Receiver 2 - the one with a single Tape in and out. It appears that what I need to do can be done with any of the boxes listed in the title. The Akai...

    Tape Switching Devices

    I've come across an input problem in my system, but one which can't just be solved by a normal line input switcher. I have 3 tape machines: a Nakamichi BX-300, H/K CD-491, and a Teac A-6100. I currently run an SX-939 with my Nak going into tape loop 1 and my Teac r2r machine into tape loop 2...

    Building an AMP Switch: Relay/Switch Requirements

    I want to share a single set of speakers between my Yamaha CR-1000 and a Pioneer VSX-32. I want to build a switch box for them. I've noticed while shopping for switches and relays (I haven't quite decided which way I want to go) that the prices increase exponentially with the current rating...

    Multiple Turntable Switch Box

    Hi. I'm curious. Does anyone manufacture a selector switch box specifically designed for turntables, multiple turntables? A separate component as a hub for individual turntables, even when using a phono preamp, with or without ground wires, and RCA interconnects/cables/jacks. Similar to a A/V...

    I'm interested in building an RCA switch box. I'm technically inclined but have never done anything like this so I don't know the technical details of what is a good or bad idea as far as sound quality, and the best way to achieve this schematically. I have multiple sources, let's say 2...

    Do they make an audio (RCA) switchbox that looks like a component

    Need extra inputs on my receiver. I found a number of RCA switch boxes, but they're pretty ugly. Is there anything that looks like a stereo component and doesn't cost a fortune?

    DIY Pushbutton RCA switch-box

    I've seen articles on how to build RCA switch-boxes with a rotating switch, but nothing on how to build one with pushbuttons. I've seen pre-made models on Amazon, although those are invariably built to handle composite audio for TV's, so I suspect that they are of inferior quality. Does anyone...
