i've been looking all over zzounds, sweetwater, etc. for a phono preamp, that has 2 seperate l/r outs, so that i can send the same boosted signal from my turntable to both of my drum machines. i'll be using the first drum machine for drums/percussion and the other drum machine for sample chopping and bass.

so in order to save plug-in space, i'd like to a 2-out phono preamp

anybody here know of some? i cant find any at all, not even sure if they exist

maybe a small but good dj mixer is your better option - as many have a master and a secondary zone out..

depending on how hot you can drive the preamps in the gear you are running the signal into, you could simply use a y-cable to split the signal then boost in the receiving machine later.

I'd just get video / audio selector box that has RCA jacks. I have one of those cheap box (from Radio Shack, it was designed to be used with VHS VCR and such), and it's very handy. Mine is just a passive box (means it does not need ac adapter, I think most of those are passive) and it can be used like Y cable, by pressing two buttons at the same time. Keep it simple!
