I'm looking for a source switch.

I know I'm asking a pretty simple question here, but my searches only seemed to turn up the opposite of what I'm looking for - a switch for multiple sets of speakers. I'm looking for a switch that will let me choose between one of two integrated amps into one set of speakers. So I need some advice.

I've got a Harman Kardon AV247 powering 2 B&W 683s and 2 Boston surrounds I got in college - I'm not really a home theater conoisseur. This setup does me fine. That said, I also listen to a lot of records.

Hifi Audio for my PC

Ok here we go.

I am totaly new to Hifi, but i have always loved music and now it is time to step up from my Logitech Z4's.

I have a lot of Flac format musik, and i would love to get a system with my PC as the source with good sound quality way beyond what logitech or other computerspeaker brands can deliver.

I have looked alot but its hard to get an overview over the whole market and what to look for and what not.

The first things i stumbled upon where:

Banana Clips or Spades?

Forums

I use the Monster Cable Z2 bi-wire for my speakers and this system allows you to have a variety of connections via Monster Lock. I recently moved from Banana clips to spades as I didn't want the connections to my amp and speakers to keep coming out when I moved equipment. I was just wondering: what do you use in both speaker cable and connections and what has been your experience with speaker cables overall ?

"Jazz Ambassadors" photo show

"Jazz Ambassadors" photo show

I’m appallingly late with this, but the photo show “Jam Session: America’s Jazz Ambassadors Embrace the World” is up for a few more days (through April 12) in the arcade of Jazz at Lincoln Center (on Broadway and 60th Street, 5th floor, New York City)—and, if you’re in the area, go see it.

JICO - Nippon Precison Jewel Industry Co. Stylus'

Was wondering if anyone here had any experience with this company.
I decided to buy a new stylus for the old Ortofon M20FL Super that I had and after researching prices online I came across this company in Japan. I ordered a new stylus at about 1/2 the price of a NOS on eBay and received the stylus today. It took about 5 days from time I ordered to receive it.

Installed the stylus tonight and am pretty amazed at how nice it sounds on my Marantz.

You Just Never Know - Dirty Records

Recently I stopped into a local shop to look through some old LPs, thinking I might just find something interesting. Once I dug into the pile of old vinyl, I realized that pretty much everything there was trashed and only priced by title and not condition. I was amazed that some albums were marked at 2 to 5 dollars and were in very nice shape and ones that looked like they were used for buggie boards on a dry carpet were marked at crazy 15 and 20 dollar prices.

I took a chance and spent a whole 12 dollars and returned home with 3 LPs.

Receiver for Vandersteen 2C or 2Ce's

Hello, it's been a while since I have posted, so I think I should recap my situation. I have a Thorens TD166 MkII (with a signet 7lga cartridge, i think it might be a pos, can't find any info online) record player that I am playing through my computer with a Rolls VP29 Phono-pre. I do not own anything else for a system. I think I have finally decided on speakers though, the Vandersteen 2C's. I have heard so many glowing reviews of the speakers, and as I live in the Bay Area, I often see them for sale on craigslist.
