Hi Guys
I need a bit of help here. I need a source selector for 3 sources, the source signal is unbalanced. I simply try to connect my squeezebox and tv, to the same pair of active speakers. I want to go passive as I dont need to switch that often between the sources, so having a relay psu drawing power all the time seems as not so good idea.
I have seached a fair bit inhere on the topic, but with no final answer to my question. I need a high quality rotary switch that can do this, without sharing the ground (Is this not the best idea?).
I have found these:

Elma: http://cgi.ebay.com/ELMA-BV17250-1206-A-BCD-ROTARY-SWITCH-2X16POS-9PIN-/180199734747?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item29f4bdbddb
I know about the goldpoint etc but that is to expensive, then rarther go relay.
I live in the EU, so I prefer buying of ebay as most US sellers either charge a insane amount in shipping or dont ship at all.
Will those switches work or do I need to pick some others? I need to wafers, as it is stereo, but how many pin? And how to connect the rca jack? Anyone got a drawing
