I have a Denon PMA-800. (Which has an analogue amplification path through the amp.)
I am in the process of reviving my old turntable setup, after a 30 year plus storage in the attic.
This comprises a Garrard 301 and an SME 3012 S2 with Shure V15 III.
I have got an SME 3009 which I want to add to the turntable. So that I'll have the option of using either tone arm to play my records.
The question I have is how do I connect both arms to the amp?
The amp has connect options to Phone, CD, Aux, tape/cassette recorder. These will have SME 3012 s2, Denon CD player, Web/NAS audio sources via Heos Link and Teac twin cassette deck.
I want to have the SME 3009 available for use without having to change the connections on the back of the amp, or changing the phono lead between the tone arms.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Either add a shielded switch box between the arms and the phono input.
Or add an additional phono stage for the second arm, which plugs into one of the line inputs.
I would think that the V15 III would be happier in the shorter arm. It's a high compliance stylus.

Since you have a Denon TT you could consider a Denon AU-340 SUT which has provision for 2 pickups. Not cheap but very good.
