DIY - Increasing number of inputs on vintage sets

I like using my vintage Quad 33-303 combo but was often frustrated by the need to disconnect-reconnect different sources due to the limited number of inputs on the 33 aka TAPE, DISC1 and DISC2.

Checking the internet, the total cost for proper input expansion boxes would be quite prohibitive since I would require a few such units for my numerous vintage sets.

I have a similar issue with speaker selector boxes .. for another post in the near future.

Then I came across the AV selector below and thought, why not try it?

Operation is simplicity itself. Connect the LEFT&RIGHT RCA(s) on the OUTPUT to your PRE or Integrated AMP. Then connect the desired Inputs to INPUT1/2/3 and use the selector accordingly.

An example is the below when deployed on my Quad 33-303 set.

Noise? Crossover "leakage"? Loud crackle when using the selector?

Been using it for a few weeks now and no sign of any undesirable issues or sounds yet ... you would not even suspect the AV selector was in-place unless you peered at the back of the set!
