Selector Switch Replacement

[ptlud]

My Stereomour selector switch has developed an anoying pop.  I am looking for recommendations for a good replacement/upgrade.  Does the switch need to be shorting or non-shorting?

By the way, the amp sounds great with 45 tubes.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul, I used a Goldpoint 4P-3T-1D in my Foreplay III. The input scheme is similar to the Stereomour. They aren't cheap at $72 but work well last a long time.

Thanks for the suggestion.  Is the switch shorting or non-shorting?

There are several good high end switches.  Elna, Goldpoint, & Grayhill have all been used extensively in quality audio. I have Grayhill's in all of my BH kit that switches.  Just be sure to get a switch that maintains the switching of both the signal and the ground. That is the superior topology and the way that the Stereomour is wired with the stock switch.

I'm not 100% sure but I think its shorting.
