3 Tonearms 1 preamp

My question is how to switch between each tonearm without moving interconnects around.I have found very inexpensive audio input selectors but they are so cheaply made they would surprise me to be usable-especially after you have spent so much on everything else.
At present I have 1 phono preamplifier that has only 1 in and out.
I started this project installing 3 tonearms on a custom plinth and I guess I didn't think it thru before I started.

The easiest solution is to switch your phono pre to one that has at least 3 inputs (Aesthetix Rhea for example but many others as well depending on your budget).

Thanks CMALAK,
I was hoping for something a little more affordable. I am also happy with the preamp I have.

If you have the real estate on your present preamp just add a selector switch and two more sets of RCAs. Or have a tech do it for you. It should be on the back panel and should do the switching before the active circuit. I converted the first three inputs on my preamp to be phonos, but I have six turntables and may have to add a few more inputs. Who says we're normal!
