I have a home theater system and also a tube stereo system. Both systems are sharing the same front left and right speakers, and I want to build a switch box to easily switch from one to another. Frankly, I am tired of manually doing this.

T.H.E. . . B.O.X

front:

Rotary A/B switch

back:

Inputs:
  1. Tube preamp right channel RCA/coax
  2. Tube preamp left channel RCA/coax
  3. SS preamp right channel XLR
  4. SS preamp left channel XLR
  5. Phono right channel RCA/coax
  6. Phono left channel RCA/coax
  7. 120V Power
  8. 12V Power
Outputs:
  1. SS amp output right XLR
  2. SS amp outputs left XLR
  3. Tube amp outputs right RCA/coax
  4. Tube amp outputs left RCA/coax
  5. Phono right RCA/coax
  6. Phono left RCA/coax
  7. 12V trigger for external relay box
  8. SS 120V (5A) out
  9. Tube 120V (5A) out
There will be a second box with the relay.

activity:

SWITCH - Tube listening position (A):
  1. Power off the SS preamp 120V using relay (the amp will be switched off using the 12v signal)
  2. Power on the tube pre and amps 120V using relay.
  3. Switch phono RCA outputs to tube
  4. Switch amp RCA outputs to tube
SWITCH - SS (Home theater) listening position (B):
  1. Power off the tube pre and amps 120V using relay
  2. Power on the SS preamp 120V using relay. (the amp will be switched on using the 12v signal)
  3. Switch phono RCA outputs to SS
  4. Switch amp XLR outputs to SS
I am having difficulty discerning what rotary A/B switch I can use to make all these things happen at once. It needs to be a 2 position (A/B) type switch, and switch the 120V relay, the phono section, the tube preamp-amp section, and the SS (XLR) preamp-amp section.

Thanks,

Craig
