Arcam AV-8 or early AV-9 before assembly was sent to China. AV-8 if you don't need/want HDMI. AV-9 if you do. In 2-channel mode, all the digital circuitry is turned off to help with noise. Can't recommend highly enough.
Surround Sound Processor Suggestions
My Classe' SSP-75 has been giving me problems, intermittently shutting off my sub and R channel, and Im debating if I want to ship it to Canada to have it looked at for the $$ it would cost me. I think im done with Classe' since this is the 2nd component to give me trouble. Im looking to go with a different brand and would appreciate your input. I listen 70% 2-channel, 30% surround. I would like a processor that retains similar performance, balanced inputs ect., with better reliability. I will probably have to purchase used again considering my income. Thanks in advance.
