Exactly the setup I needed. I like the fact it has the switch and the rca output, like you mentioned, but I just want to check one thing before I try this... Can I plug my powered [Micca PB42x](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NXAEPDC/) speakers into that output? I just want to make sure I can use the switch and seamlessly listen through those without damaging them, instead of having to unplug my turntable from the headphone amp and into my speakers every time.

However, my audio will randomly cut out on the right side. A small wire wiggle right behind the RCA inputs usually fixes it, but it's finicky.   \r\n\r\n\r\nWhen I was researching the issue, I found that it may be a short on the speaker inputs and switching the RCA inputs might help. The result of which was the audio randomly going out on the left side (and the audio being flipped).   \r\n\r\n\r\nThis all leads me to believe it may be an issue with the cable of some sort. Before I buy a new cable, could this be caused by anything else?","subreddit_name":"audiophile","author":"The_dude_that_does"},{"body":"You probably need powered monitors unless you're also adding an integrated amp or receiver.
