Thanks

Next, I have no RESPECT for Rwwear!!!!!!!! Do not answer a question with a question!!!!! You screwed up my serious question on this tread, with your inane question. Rwwear I suggest you go to IRAQ and look for those WMD's. You seem to have the intellect for it as well the the ability to distract, obfiscate, confuse, and not take responsibility.

1. Why this lack of respect for Rwwear? Am I missing something. He addressed your question succinctly and without malice. He only suggested you may have made a mistake, which it seems that you did.

2. Your question did not need anyone else to screw it up. It started out that way when you mis-stated what it was you were looking for. Or are you actually looking for many outputs to plug your source devices into? If so, can you explain why you might want to do that? I can tell you for certain you will not be happy with the results, assumin you are expecting music to come from the speakers attached to this system.

I have a great sense of humor generally.

You have thus far not displayed it.

...either Tripper is dsylexic or just plain stupid.

dsylexic? Is that the great sense of humor kicking in?

FURTHERMORE, if you dont have something intelligent to say, DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.

That seems hypocritical in the light of your original question. This suggestion, had it been considered by yourself, might obviate the need to have posted the question you did in the first place.

And for all you that encouraged Tripper and/or further exaserbated the stupidity-- Bdgregory, Jax2, Jmcgrogan2
go watch the movie JACKASS, and don't ever comment on my threads again.

So, let me get this straight, a comment like this would fall under "an intelligent thing for you to say," along with the previous, 'go to Iraq to find WMD' suggestion? Or is this, once again, a display of your great sense of humor?

As for the movie, "Jackass"; From that title, I'm guessing you play the starring roll in what undoubtedly must be a cinematic gem .... so I think I'll pass since we obviously don't share the same sense of humor. I will, however, take your suggestion and, heretofore restrain myself from even viewing any of your subsequent threads, much less commenting on them.

I'll leave you with a suggestion: Lighten up! Anyone could make such a mistake, and we were just having a bit of fun. You just made it worse when folks already pointed out your error, yet you were adamant that you'd asked correctly. Develop a bit of humility with that great sense of humor...and for god's sake, take your meds and watch that caps-lock key. You're beginning to sound like Owen Meany.

Hey Dick, Those sound like sources for which one would need inputz, eh?

Is Doug a Dick, or a Doug? I hope you weren't calling Doug a dick! Does Doug want input on ouputs? Or, does Dick really need more outputs for his inputs? If Doug is really Dick, that might explain why he's looking for outputs when he really needs inputs...if he can't keep his name straight how's he supposed to keep track of all those outlets on the back of his components?! He certainly needs a new user ID! My brain hurts!

You might want to mention the small detail that you were looking to use that many recording devices, all of which are sources as well (other than the equalizer). You had the ample opportunity to do so, but instead posted a rather abrasive retort in all-caps, as a response to what were simply helpful suggestions. You are just getting back what you put out, Your Highness.

Folks in an audiophile forum aren't likely to make the leap that you are wanting to plug in that many recording devices into a system without benefit of a tape-monitor loop. You might also want to pose the same question in a Home-theatre forum, and or a Pro-Audio forum. A possible solution might be to get a Line-Level splitter from a Pro-Audio supplier, such as those made by Behringer. The only further hurdle you may face, as you may already know if your equalizer is a pro-audio rig, is that the outlets are most likely balanced or 1/4" headphone plug size. Either can be adapted to RCA, but you would need the appropriate adapters. Beyond that, it seems like you've got a few good answers from folks already (ARC, McIntosh and various customizers - Dan Wright may modify his fine 9.0SE preamp to your specs at a reasonable cost).

You may get much more from these, and any other online forums, by spelling out as much information as you can right from the start. Besides omitting the obvious detail of using the outputs for recording devices, you might want to put a price range on your "great preamp", and add any preferences that you might have (tube or SS, what is the rest of your system - amp would be a pretty critical link here - the kind of music you listen to...all these details are somewhat helpful in recommending a component to fit into your system). And lay off that caps-lock key...people tend to take that as your yelling at them, and I suspect you are using to exactly that end.

Good luck with your pursuit.
