Looking for a good RCA/Phono switch box (sh.itjust.works)

Or alternative ideas. If not, then RCA box with grounding screws. They exist on Amazon, but I see reviews about bad signal noise/poorly made :(

Figured I'd ask to find someone who already knows of a good enough product.

The idea is to have two record players set up going to my single Receiver input.

Do you want one at a time (switch) or both at once (mixer)?

I think mixers will generally be higher quality (and more likely to have a grounding screw), and they also do switching, since you can mix one source to zero and the other to 100%.

But I’d say you probably want each to have its own preamp before switch/mix, and they have ones with grounding screws. Then it’s standard ungrounded RCA into the switch/mixer.

And at that point, if you’re using an amp with multiple inputs, you use that as the switch.

Nice thanks, I'll look into mixers.
