If you're looking for real audiophile grade, here's the Red Wine Audio

Where should I place a Radio Shack like switch?

and the SB2 rca to the pre-amp input

- before the power amp input, to choose between avr4800/SB2 input, so I
drive the SB2 straight into the power amp
BTW, Looks like

Doesn't the 4800 have multiple inputs for this?

yes, Only by using the pre input on the avr4800 i avoid the extra

I have no experience with this unit. And never will at those prices.
Radio shack has more reasonably priced input selectors.
I would not use a simple splitter. Results would depend on the design
