I tried posting this question in another circle but got no replies. Since Jim just told me my ST RTs are shipping, I figured it would be okay to ask for some advice here instead.
So here goes...
I've read that some tube amps have a home theater bypass, and that this feature allows an owner to toggle between two channel analog and multichannel digital (home theater) source material while using the same set of speakers.
I was wondering if there was a easily way to do this without the built-in bypass? I have a Yamaha AVR I use for DVD playback but recently added an Eico ST-70 for music listening. I'm using the Yamaha as a preamp with three Outlaw monoblocks. For the Eico, I'm using the on-board amplification (35 watts per channel).
Can I set up some type of A/B switch that would allow me to switch easily between the Yamaha (multichannel) and Eico (2 channel)? At the moment, I have separate cable runs from each device and plug/unplug the left and right channels whenever I want to listen to the Eico. I don't suppose it's as easy as doubling up the connection on the L/R channels.
I also don't want to risk damaging my shiny new STs when they arrive.
