Dear lord that's a huge mess o' switches!
Personally, I'd pony up a couple hundred bucks at this point to get something nice if you insist on keeping all of these systems hooked up at once.
Why do you need a switch that's audio only? Just use an A/V switch and simply do not employ the video I/O.

Something nice like what? I need all these switches I guess -- I have 13 consoles going into my DVDO EDGE. I need A/V selectors.

Well I'll bite on this.
So here is my setup.
SNES / PS2 / N64 / Genesis --> 4in1 Video Composite Switcher --> TV
This composite switcher has S-Video hookups, however I do not think that this will do any good... seeing that my TV does not have S-Video input. Solution:
SNES / PS2 / N64 / Genesis --> 4in1 Video Component Switcher --> TV
My question: if I use a regular COMPOSITE CABLE on the new COMPONENT SWITCHER and disregard colors and connect it to my television... would that work? Too lazy to test, and too annoyed on spending another $10 on a cable I might not need
wiggy:
Doesn't matter. Coax is coax. It's all analogue signal, use whatever RCA cables you like.
Mariocase, do you think you can live with only having 12 systems hooked up at once? If so, I have a solution that would mean 2 switch boxes only.

Would be interested in hearing that solution - i'm looking to have 12-15 hooked up in my office/games room.
Unfortunately the Intellivision and Coleco are going to have to remain as Coax - unless anyone knows differently?
