How to switch between audio devices?

[Craigh1983]

Hi guys,

I have a pair of Yamaha hs5 speakers currently with a turntable plugged into them. I also now want to buy a cd player separate and have them play on the same speakers. Obviously I want to be able to switch between the turntable and cd player without swapping cables.

Is there anything I can buy where I can switch between both devices?

Thanks

Typically a preamp (active or passive) is used where switching between source components is desired. A integrated amp or a receiver can also accomplish this task.

Why don't you just use a switch?
