EAR MC-3 - Multiple inputs wired up at same time?
You could always mod it by adding a very high quality relay or switch.

Downside to "revealing" system?
I find that the better the system, the better older recordings and pressings sound. However, the issue is that in comparison to the great recordings, it's more obvious the not-so-good stuff sounds...not as good.

Actually, checking out the traf, I see there is no switching. I figured you were talking about crosstalk through the switch. I can't imagine you could connect more than one at a time to the unit.

House buying and the aspiring audipihile
Most wooden homes are not the best places for great hi-fi. Imagine a large stone room in a European mansion or castle. That's what I need. Natural reverberations! Might need some damping. Wall tapestries and an oversized sofa.

There may be a problem with the cables. No idea what but they're possibly fakes. https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/power-supplies/342718-plese-help-krell-branded-cables-found-online.html

@bkeske I've been clamp free for... um, forever. Always found it deadened the music, especially, as you've noticed, air. And attack speed (rise time).
