    Passive XLR Switch

    I’ve had the EMM Labs Pre in my system for a few days and I’m really enjoying it. What I’m not enjoying is having to switch XLR cables in my mono blocks when I want to go back to using my SP3 for home theater. It’s just kind of a nuisance.

    Has anyone had experience with XLR switches? There are a number of them on the market, but my fear is degradation of sound quality.

    Thoughts?
