Thanks so much guys. Just got home from work, long day and I am going to go over all this great info and make a decision and start wiring in the AM. I have been a audio/videophile for about 25 years or so. I have more cables then I know what to do with. Thanks again. I will let you guys know how I make out. I am sure I will have many questions when I go to fire up the system. My oold pre/pro was an acurus act 3.
