Re: is it possible to avoid using a selector switch in a TVC preamp with multiple inputs?

I think a rotary selector switch like a ELMA or even better a Shallco is not too much of a comprimise to the sound. It saves the wear and tear on cable connectors. Switching both hot and ground, you can use a ganged rotary (2 deck/6 pos/2 pole) and implement a 3 inputs w/ inverted phase on alternate positions. I find that phase is clearly audible and varies from one recording to another. The ability switch phase is essential to get the best sound, and switching at the input of a transformer is the easiest and least intrusive way of implementing this capablity.
