It also acts as a switching system for your various sources. There are various degrees of sophistication with preamps, from extremely basic to full-blown AV surround with all the bells and whistles. |

Most of my opinopns are not backed up with lisrening experience, so I have weened off a tad. Opinions are like heartbeats, nobody cares till they stop, then the cards arrive. |

Gold Member Username: NuckParkhill, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1952 Registered: Dec-04 | Both seem appropriate. |

Silver Member Username: DakulisSpokane, Washington United States Post Number: 897 Registered: May-05 | I thought it might be carts as in carrying dead body away. But, on the amp and pre/pro side, I am converted after the weekend with Outlaw's 970 mated to my Adcom 7607, very nice and now I know why they call it surrround sound and why all you guys told me to get a coaxial cable. You know, the sound does really move around the room in some movies? LOL |
