How to wire single set of speakers to two sources?

[Saket]

Hello Friends,

I have a pair of bookshelves connected to my integrated amp through which I play my turntable. I want to add a small CD/ cassette player to the set up and want to use the same set of speakers. As the new player has its own amp inside it, I want it to drive the speakers directly. Is it possible to use the same set of speakers with the two sources? I can use a toggle switch, but was hoping for a simpler solution. Can I use diodes??

Thanks,
Saket

think of selector(source, amp, speakers)

Your case is "two amps + two speaker sets"

Don't go for shortcuts. Use a proper speaker selector.
