CAP-1008 Analog Signal Selector - For freely switching between two tonearms
The fun of playing analog discs goes beyond just listening to music. Changing the cartridge or tone arm can greatly change the expression of the sound, and the appeal lies in the depth of this change. Especially for those who own a turntable with two tone arms, it's especially fun to use different cartridges for each arm.
However, at the same time, many users face the inconvenience of switching. Even if you want to use different arms, you are worried about the risk of wear and poor contact every time you connect and disconnect the cable, and it is often a hassle to end up using only one arm. Since we are dealing with expensive cartridges and delicate signals, the worry of ``not damaging the sound when switching'' becomes a major hurdle.

Switch smoothly while preserving sound quality
CAP-1008 is designed to switch minute signals from tonearms without degrading them. The signal path is extremely short and has a simple, high-quality configuration that eliminates any unnecessary circuitry. Highly reliable parts are used for the contact parts, completely eliminating losses due to wear and poor contact.
As a result, there is no need to worry that the sound will lose its freshness even if you switch arms. You can fully enjoy the sound of different cartridges in a pure state as if you had directly replaced the cable.
Practicality for having two tonearms
For example, if you install an MC cartridge in one arm and an MM cartridge in the other, you can instantly switch to suit the disc or genre. You can enjoy jazz and rock with a powerful MC, classical music with a delicate MM, etc., as you like.
The CAP-1008 also shows its true value when comparing the same records with different cartridges. Switching the arm is just a switch operation, so there is no need to connect and disconnect cables like before. This prevents wear on the contacts and eliminates concerns about the sound quality changing every time you switch.
For those who say, "Even though I have two arms, switching is cumbersome so I end up using only one," the CAP-1008 brings great value.
