Arcam AVP700

Does anyone have experience of this pre/pro? How does it stack up against the AV8? In particular, how does it go as a two-channel preamp? Any views would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I have a DV79/AVP700/P1000 combo and am using them with Reimer Teton GS's. The analog direct mode seems to have a bit quieter background, kind of like blacker blacks on a tv. Detail is also improved as a result. I have to think it's very, very close to AV8. Close enough that they now have an AV9.

I have a AVP700, MY DV79 FEEDS IT WITH WHAT ARCAM CALLS MASK OF SILENCE TECHNOLOGY AND THEY AINT KIDDING. THE AVP700 ALSO USES THIS TECHNOLOGY TOGETHER THESE UNITS ARE A STEAL FOR JUST $4000 I WAS USING THE AVR300 BEFORE TRADING IT IN FOR THE AVP700 THAT UNIT GOT RAVE REVIWS IN ISSUE 95 OF WIDESCREEN REVIEW. YOU CAN READ A FREE REVIEW OF THE AVR300 AT AUDIOPHILESYSTEMS.COM IF YOUR USING THE AVP700 ONLY AS 2 CHANNEL ANOLOG PASS THRU YOUR MISSING OUT BIGTIME ON ITS MULTICHANNEL/PROCCESSOR PROWESS.
