I want to change the 3-way source selector on my old Naim 12s preamp ... to allow for 4 sources.
(This will involve me re-housing it in a different case, to allow for the extra pair of RCA sockets.)
Does anyone know of a good 4-way source selector switch? (5-way would also be acceptable.)

so much empty...
I was hoping for a plethora of responses, on topic and off (lol) to weed through!
It appears as though the $10 chifi on amazon, or units costing hundreds of $ is all that's available ;-(
I put a cart together with all of what I need at digikey for a 4 x 2 setup and without knobs, im looking at $150 ?!?
Did you find something that fit the bill?

One of these should work. Note the first switch (with up to four stereo inputs) has switched grounds.
Up to four stereo inputs:

Yes I did, AFM! 🙂
I bought a GrayHill 4-way switch - from I think, Element14. It's quite small (so a bit fiddly to wire up) - but it works very well ... with a nice 'feel' to the rotation.
It was about $60, from memory.

I remember tons of these to choose from 30-40 years ago!
Appears as though RCA is still alive and well, but selectors for them look to be cheapo with a few exceptions for hundreds.
Must be a glitch in the matrix..
I have a few cheapo's from a few years back, on one a barrel shield fell off, one has a cheap flexible feel and another feels like the RCA's are barley making contact and are loose.
Guess in 2024 $150 is like $40 bucks in the 1980's
