First, there are two ways to connect a receiver to a subwoofer:
1. Shielded pre-amp out cable
2. Speaker line out (balanced)
What are the advantages of the first over the second? Does LFE come over both connections? If so, why pick one over the other?
Second, if I use a light dimmer in my theater room, is that going to inject hum into the system? I plan on using blue fluorescent lighting at low levels. The particular bulbs I have in mind are almost into the ultraviolet range.
These lights are easier to see by than red, but they are almost invisible on a rear projection screen. I'm thinking two ceiling spots behind the TV and two over the seating area. At a low level of course. You can find a beer or remote, but forget about reading any labels. Thoughts on this?
