What's the cheapest way to do this (barring modification of the amp) that is guaranteed not to hurt sound quality?

A simple Y splitter

fewtch,

chances are there'll be source interactions that degrade sound when using a Y splitter with permanently connected sources in to a single amp. i'm by no means an expert in electronics, but if i'm fairly sure, one source can go to multiple amps, but not the other way around...

a passive switch box is probably the way to go (the only sources of degradations here are switch/connection/cables).

fewtch: Not a good idea to run two line-outs into one line-in via splitters. Buy or build yourself a switchbox.

A simple yet wonderful switchbox can be had for a few bucks.
Metal case, nice switch, good contacts.

Niles Audio AXP-1 Switch Box. Five inputs and 1 output, a passive switch box that is really well made. With a bit of patience you can find them on eBay for about $20 (I did).

I just wish they made a 7 input model.
