AV Receiver good enough for high end audio?

Mithch4t, what are saying about the Jackalope?

I started in this hobby in 2004 with an NAD AV reciever, that I then used as a preamp. Went to seperate amps with a processor (first B & K, then Parasound, then Anthem) and was shocked by the improvement, it was still all multichannel.

Finally, I bought a 2 channel preamp with HT Passthrough (first a McIntosh C2200, then an ARC LS26, and finally a Cary SLP98p F-1) and there is just no comparison. I got rid of the multichannel stuff, bought a Denon AV reciever for the HT stuff, but even my wife does not listen to music through the reciever. Even though she must physically turn on the Cary preamp, and switch inputs. The fact that she went to the trouble to learn how to do that versus just hitting "Play Music Server" on the remote and running the sound through the reciever, tells you the difference.

I have a Jackalope mounted on the wall of our ranch in Benchley, TX. Well, it may actually be a Chupacabra, I was really drunk on Lone Star beer and tequila when I shot it. We were just shooting anything that moved, then took what was on the ground to the taxidermist. Who knows what that thing is?

Glad hunting season is starting, anyone want to come down and go hunting with us in South Texas?

Hey Mitch4t, that's the trip I was talking about, funny you should bring that up.

Well Queefee, that's what you get for going to Dallas, which we in South Texas (Houston) consider a northern US city.

Hey, I've been moderated for less!

Did someone really just call someone else a windbag, then go on to say they are wealthy and in Who's Who?

Someone needs to look up pompus themselves.

ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz, I'm bored.
