| Help? Why Classe CAM-350s going into protection mo Disconnect the inputs to the amps and see if they still shut down. If not, it's the ARC (or the interconnects). If so, disconnect the Studios from the amps and see if they still shut down. If not, it's the Revels (or the speaker cable). If they sh... | |
| Processor input Generally, the gain through the processor input of a preamp is fixed and used as a bypass.Kal | |
| Does ceiling height make much difference? Aside from the subjective feelings I have about spending time in a room with a lower than normal ceiling height, the biggest issue is that it is one of the three dimensions and contributes to all the dimension-related acoustical issues. In specifi... | |
| Need advise on RCA female dummy plugs Frankly, any female RCAs will do for this task which, IMHO, is unnecessarily obsessive.Kal | |
| The wall behind me. The sound should not be bouncing off the back wall if your seat is there as the interference between the direct sound and the reflected sound will be severe in the midrange, depending on how close you are to the wall. While I do not recommend comp... | |

First, those are common and boring with no real surprises. Second, those are compositions, not recordings. All exist in positively d... | |

| How to get 5.1 digital source into analog pre-amp Aside from professional/studio devices, the only ones are discontinued or cheap. For that very purpose, I use a Technics SH-AC500D which is good enough for that task but there are others that might do. Kal | |
| Testing for Dummies? Well, the direct answer is: It depends. Your description is, in general, correct but imperfect in details. However, the question is: What do you want to measure? It seems like you want some idea of what your speakers/system is doing in your room.I... | |
