Well, a tad off topic, but have any of you seen a high quality six-channel audio switch? I have multiple devices with six-channel outputs but my preamp only has one six-channel input set.

Thanks!

OK, how about this instead: has anyone seen a high quality DB25 switch?

Has no one else had need for such a device?

Is this mic on?

Man E,

There was a thread on this in the Audio forum last year, do a search for "6 channel AB switches".

I ended up getting the Sony p9000es switcher, nice unit.

I second the motion for the Sony TA-P9000ES preamp. It has two sets of 5.1 inputs and one out. Very high quality.


The other option is the use two radio shack Video/Left/Right A/B switches. This is very low cost.

Thanks guys. Sadly, it appears that that thread has vanished to bit heaven. Unfortunately, I am looking for a solution between the cheap switches and a new preamp (if for no other reason but to avoid a ballzectomy ). I'm pretty hooked on Rotel gear (price/performance), but the new preamp/DVD player combination is about $2200. Sweet sound, but Yikes!


I was hoping that I could find something similar to the Kramer DB15 video switches that I picked up (which are excellent), except in a DB25 format. Quality breakout cables to go from six RCA to DB25 are available. I just don't want to screw up the sound with a cheapo printer switch.


Anyone else? Maybe I should market these myself and then I could be the only buyer

Man E,

No, I just saw it this morning. Try this:

Man E,


That preamp is only about $400. Try Oade.com


Great service.

Thanks all. Wow! I must have really screwed up the search command because I missed that very interesting thread.


P.S. My current Rotel preamp was ~$1200 6 years ago and it only includes ProLogic. It is an excellent piece of gear and would be hard to part with (unless of course I can negotiate up to their new one ).
