Rotary source selector for audio

[franke]

I have used these in the past , never had a problem

[/LIST]

Thanks for that! I might upgrade in the future. For now, my selector switch seems to work fine. No funny noises when switching!

I have created a new thread in order to get help with the troubleshooting. You can find that here:

Be careful of switching both signal and ground from a floating source. If the switch connects signal before ground, you are applying 120Vac at high impedance to the next stage. This is a sure way to destroy a digital volume control IC
