Here's the deal, am getting the Foreplay II this week. Would like to use it in the computer room system. Problem is I need 4 inputs and the Foreplay only has 3. Was going to get a phono pre for the tt but that still leaves me one input short for the computer sound. Any ideas beside having someone add another input to the foreplay?
thanks!
thanks!

use an audio (or A/V) switch box. I use one from Radio Shack; they're harder to find than they used to be, but they are still out there.
EDIT: Here's a two-way A/V switchbox http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=189-258&vReviewShow=1&vReviewRand=7681465
Here's a couple more along the lines I was thinking of (albeit showing up as backordered):

I used a Zektor HDS4.1 before I upgraded my AVR. I went with that one because it uses relays, which are supposed to be better and also allow for 2-way use, ie 4:1 or 1:4.
I picked mine up from CL for $50. Nice thing is they designed it to be able to use almost any remote. Also, with this one is all the inputs are of the same HD quality, so if I ever need to go with multiple 5.1 inputs it can handle that too (although I know that doesn't matter to you here, it was a nice option/ feature)
