Hi I am thinking about getting a Vali 2 and a magni 2 is there a way I can switch between the two amps with out taking the cables out and put them in the other amp??

I want to try tube amp and I still want to have a normal amp, that is why I am thinking about getting both a solid and a tube amp.

You can get an RCA splitter box/cable. Although, I have had grounding issues with similar setup. And you might also end up splitting the 2V signal, but that depends on the way the box (or cable) is build.

That's a switch. It takes 4 inputs and makes into 1 output. 

You want something that takes 1 input and makes it into 2 (or more) outputs.

Yep, something like that: https://www.av-cables.dk/phono-splitter/composite-phono-stereo-splitter-1-til-4.html

But you should be able to find something cheaper than that.

I dont think I can get them any cheaper in Denmark. Wow I think that it is the only model you can get in Denmark that is on the cheaper side...

Get the Vali  and LISST tube if you really want to get both. I don't see the point, myself.

Well the point is that tube amps alot of times makes the sound a bit different and I would like to be able to switch between solid and tube so I can choose if I want the things tube does or I want normal solid.

Why is LISST tubes better than the ones that comes with it?

Is that the point of tube amps? I thought it was to make things sound good. From what I've read at least, Schiit tube amps are generally pretty transparent.

 

The LISST is a solid-state tube. Get that and the stock tube and you can switch back and forth at will.

Hmm I did not know that, but will the LISST work with a Vali 2???
