Evening all,

I have a Pro-ject turntable going through a Denon cd receiver, I'd like to add another turntable, what's the easiest way to do this?

I'm not interested in mixing and scratching, all I want to do is queue up the next vinyl record rather than stop and start again if that makes sense.

Thanks in advance,

Craig

Easiest is probably buy a mini phono stage and whack it into a spare set of rca's??

Then choose phono on amp for desk 1 and say DVD\Game or whatever for the second deck.

The only issue you might find is perhaps some volume changes??

I'm taking it the amp has an inbuilt phono stage and some spare rca inputs??

I'd probably just use a dj mixer, plenty of half decent ones about second hand. You'll have a much more consistent sound quality and level that way, even quite cheap older mixers often have very good phono pre-amps.
An RCA splitter won't work as you'd be using it in the 'wrong' direction, I.E; trying to sum two separate sources rather than split one output signal into two inputs.

This reminded me of my families first record player back in the 60's. Was a Bush sterogram (very posh back then) with an automatic record stacker that fits your brief wink whilst looking it up a came across this beauty............

1. Add a phono stage to the second TT then feed that into a line level input [CD/aux] on your amp.
2. Or get a mixer ['G4M 2 Channel Rotary DJ Mixer'] so you can cross-fade etc etc. Already has a phono stage inbuilt so feed into a line level input on the amp.
3. Or use a switch box ['SOLUPEAK U31 Premium RCA Switch Box'] and choose input from there - signal then into phono input of amp.
