Thanks for your help guys.
I used coax on the phono input anyway.
So, if I follow the explanations correctly, I should solder all of the grounds together at the selector switch and then take a wire from this ground point to the volume pot ground? At the same time remove the link from the ground bus to the chassis ground?
Like this?

Yes, that is how I would do it. Remove the ground link connecting all the sockets together too.
Or, leave it place near the sockets but disconnected from them (but still connected to ground).
Then you can use it if necessary for RF purposes: connect a lowish value capacitor (e.g. 1nF ceramic)
from each socket ground to the ground link. That means the sockets are grounded for RF at the case,
but grounded for audio via the wiring.

looks like a good build. I will look forward to your thoughts. Thinking of building one myself
Same here. If you've got it up and running, I'd love to know how it sounds. I'm thinking about a 12 or 14 to replace my ailing pre-amp, but hesitate to buy anything that expensive without an idea about how it sounds.
