Sorry to hear Steve. You have a virii sibling in Esmé who just tested positive for mono. Their IG is like a crime scene of food sharing photos and videos.

Sorry to hear Steve.

He’s back

Remember? Midori was my gateway drink. Manly drinking hard liquor. Cake looks yummy.

Thanks for the suggestions Grahame. Extrons are responsible for too many headaches at work to be allowed in my home. The Solupeaks/Soulpeaks seem good cheap options. Using even cheaper Y-splitters until I decide how vain to be.

So my headphone amps outnumber my sources so looking for a RCA switcher. One in and 3-4 out. Was eyeing the Luxman AS-44 Line Switch simply because it's pretty, can be found on eBay, and the matching P-1 would be involved, but can't find any photos of inside and open to other options as, after all, it's just a passive switcher. There's Goldpoint too. And yeah, I know the d-_-b solution would be to buy more DACs. Any thoughts?

Also once more…

Hope it's a great one
