In Reply to: Receivers as Preamp/Pro posted by JLarry on April 03, 2003 at 01:22:18:
Thanks Austin,But let me amend that. It was late and I was sleepy and about to go to bed so "best" is not quite the way that should have come out. If I wanted to go for a receiver in the $4K range I would just get a New Processor and a good 2 channel amp. I already have a Newcastle AVP 9080. I want to pick up something to use as a processor that has most of the latest bells and whistles without paying the $4 grand. I am looking for input in the $1000 and under range. I know the brands and models of all the usual suspects, I am trying to find someone with experience in using one as a preamp and getting a opinion on how they sounded. Sorry

JL,In that case, your choice is simple. Denon 3803 for around $850 from an authorized source. All modes, great DACs, a pure direct pass-through, decent amps (especially when mains are off-loaded). Also does high-bandwidth component video switching as well as video upconversion. Nice box. Good luck.
