TC-7240 RCA/PHONO switcher

[StanleyB]

I am trying to put the finishing touches to a RCA/PHONO switch. It is basically designed to allow you to swap a number of analogue outputs between amps.



And the back



I got fed up swapping equipment every time I swapped over between amps on the TC-7220 so I knocked a simple switch up. But then I had the idea to make a proper version for the audio market since I am sure I am not the only person who needs one.

Any comments on it whilst I complete some finishing touches?

A very useful bit of kit by the look of it and will I am sure meet the needs of many in an area where quality products are lacking.

Yes, this looks quite useful.

Nice to see decent fully insulated phono sockets No cheap crap!

Looks good matey!
Useful thing to have around even if it's not in use day to day I'd imagine ...

The problem with many retail companies that sell accessories like this is that they want to make high margins. So quality of build is often terrible, solder type is low quality and parts are cheap and cheerful.

Presumably, this could also be used to add existing inputs to an amp or preamp Stan?

Yep, seen it, been there & have worn out the T shirt

That's one idea. A lot of amps have only one AUX input these days, which makes life difficult when you got a TT preamp etc to find a connection for. I have actually used the TC-7240 with two turntables connected to it, and the output going to a phono preamp.

I reckon I could find a use for something like this Stan - any idea of price at this time?
