What about Switch Boxes?

Thinking about using a Luxman AS 4ii switchbox to connect two tonearms to one phono pre.  I'd need one less preamp and one less interconnect.
Noise??

Why not just find a phonostage that accommodates 2 connections?

Turn your volume down to zero when switching or you may have a loud pop, perhaps even a tweeter killer pop. Make sure the switcher never switches the ground wire or the shields of the interconnects, just the center unbalanced conductor.

I think I'll just keep the set up as it is-- 4 tonearms in two systems with 4 phonostages.  In one case, I'd be adding noise to a LOMC before going into the phono stage. I was hoping to move a mono rig into my Hagerman Trumpet.  I'll just keep the little Vista in place.
