TC 7220 speaker/amp switch
Would really appreciate hearing from any fellow members who use/have used one.
I’m starting to acquire legacy speakers at a potential alarming rate and want to be able to A/B comparison against my existing speakers without constant cable swapping. my Rega amp has outputs for a single pair of speakers only.
Any comments about SQ, practicalities, dos/don’ts much appreciated.

I have used a TC-7115 speaker switch before. Providing the switches are decent then there is no detriment to SQ.
It has 5 switched outlets, all are switched in parallel so it is best not to have more than 2 switched in at once. If you are just using it for comparison then switch one in and one out. It is now no longer needed, so it is for sale:
One of the original knobs is missing but has an alternative fitted.
Comes with attached 60 cm tails to connect to power amp.
£35 delivered if you are interested.
I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

@Firebottle
many thanks for the kind offer but if I do end up buying a Beresford switch it would be the very latest version that I go for.
Nonetheless, I’m grateful to you for the offer.

Well I have sold more than 2000 of the TC-7220 worldwide so far. So it is quite popular.Originally Posted by MisterMoseley

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
