On top of the very good reasons that Grainger pointed out is the noise issue. With three sets of cables plugged in, you will get the noise compounding from all 3 of them.
There are a few ways to work around what you are discussing:
1. Wire one pair of RCA jacks into the circuit, leaving the other two pairs of input jacks off. Swap cables as needed to change inputs.
2. Buy a Goldpoint selector switch, or Digikey Part 360-2082-ND (reqires some adaptation in the hole size). The Goldpoint attenuator is also a nice idea.
3. Wire the unit in stock configuration, installing bypass jumpers on one set of inputs. Test to hear if you can discern the difference, progress from that point.
(For those who may read this in the future, this seems like a fun experiment, but not likely something to yield significant changes)
