Nope, my integrated amp is vanilla - an On/Off switch, Source selector, and volume control. The back panel has to pre-amp I/Ps. They don't make them simpler.

Jason: Thanks very much for the sound file. Now all need is a Radio Shack SPL meter. The analog ones are not made anymore (I'm) told, so that leaves the digital version ($100 in Canada).

You can get some like Mojo and I have at various places out of the states for the same money and I thnk they are a little more accurate. This is the one I have and Mojo has posted a link to the one he has, it is made by Galaxy sound, I have seen it advertised from Amazon.com and a few other places with the Avia disc, I would google for them.

Or if you live in a big city just post the city and someone will probably come over with an SPL meter...

... and maybe beer.

Jakewash's is higher quality and I believe it also has an analog output which is useful if you want to graph your room response on a PC.

You're right Mojo mine does have the analog out, I do plan on graphing my room sometime, but then again maybe not as I may find out my room is worse than Mark's.;\)

I think my room has all of yours beat. My room response looks like a roller coaster ride.

I guess it's nice to be known as the "Gold Standard" in something.....
