Hi Everyone...I suspect in one way or another all of us have encounted this problem. (it might go well elsewhere on the site too) When I had only one turntable and one cartridge and one amp and one set of speakers everything was simple. You turn it on and listen to the music. The second turntable complicated matters but not too much as an input selector switch fixed most of the problem. Yes there was some consternation as to which turntable to use but not horrible. Now with 6 turntables, about 10 cartridges, a reel to reel recorder, a CD/Blueray, an 3 FM tuners, a Cassette recorder, dedicated PC in the system, more aplifiers and preamplifiers that I can count (likely 20 of the first and 7-10 of the second) at least 5 phono preamps and only 6 main speakers and 3 subs life gets really complicated. Do I want to hear jazz, folk music, rock, vintage tapes, streaming ....ugh. I suspect this is the nature of an addicted audiophile.
Good Listening
Bruce

Yep. We just moved into our final home (I hope). I have a tiny room for all my guitars and amps, which is another money pit, as well as the audio stuff. All I have is low end equipment and I'm ready to sell nearly all of it off. I have a set of Art Arrays I need to drop, a NAD C320Bee amp with matching tuner, Carver 900 receiver and sonic holography unit, Sansui Au719 amp, old CD player yamaha or something, etc..... I want to start over with an all tube rig and a SS rig and be done. I have several tube preamp projects (aikido and Clarinet) with parts that need finished, two tube amps with parts that need done (ST-25 and EL34 Baby Huey), a MyRef Freman amp and another chip amp, another gutar amp (6F6), etc... I have most of the parts for all of these, just never get around to building them because I'm not sure were I'd put em. Uggg...
