Multiple in to multiple out

[Karl5150]

I am currently using my S.E.X. 3 amp in the second system to allow headphone listening. I have always thought the Seductor was a better match with the MarkAudio/FH3 speakers in that system, the drawbacks being: 1) No headphone jack and 2) hair-trigger volume with the Quickie (never set higher than 9 o'clock).
What if I made a switching setup that allowed for not only multiple inputs (CD/TT/Server) but switched output to the either the S.E.X. 3 or the Seductor (with a simple SMII style volume/balance control replacing the Quickie)?
The attached wiring scheme is exactly that.
Folly? Wiring mistakes?
T.I.A.,

The SMR-II style level control doesn't lend itself well to driving a lot of cabling, especially if there's also Miller capacitance sitting at the other end of the cables.  The Seductor won't have this issue, but the SEX will a little bit.  If your sources will support it, you could go with the 10K version of those controls with 3.3K resistors instead.

Thanks for weighing in Paul.
Everything sits close together, so cables are 0.5 or less.
The S.E.X. will be driven from Amp 1 in the drawing, so only the 2 source switches between inputs and the outs to that amp. (It has my "QuietSex" attenuator, based on the MourQuiet, adjusted to approx. 100K)
The Bal/Vol pots will only be active in-line to AMP 2, the Seductor. Would it be prudent to put a couple of resistors in line to try and bring it up to 100K?
Thanks again,
Karl

It's not so much about bringing the load impedance up as it is limiting the impedance that gets added as output impedance.  Perhaps splitting the difference with 50K pots and 15K resistors would be worth a shot.

Thanks for the explanation Paul. I ordered the 50k pots and will give them a try. I have the 100k set so I might even get adventurous and try both to see if I can perceive a difference.
