went to RS yesterday they only had 2ch switches...would need 3 ...... got 3 "Y" type audio jacks (red + wht tips)...plugged the dvd & the sacd into the 5.1 jacks on my pre/pro & tried both....doesn't sound very good....had to max out the volume on the pre/pro to come close to ref levels....much louder & more dynamic with direct connection.........I'm beginning to think a decent set of interconnects are in order.................i would actually need 5 sets of 6......& a 25' sub-woofer cable....would cost me more than i have into my speakers......

.....any new pre/pros w/ 2 sets of 5ch in?
thank you for your time
