I currently do both with a marantz receiver that I use as a preamp only. I am looking to upgrade. does anybody have any inexpensive suggestions? I also use balanced cables. Any input would be appreciated.
Another way to go, especially if 2-channel is important and the rest of your components are up to it, is to buy a good stereo preamp and incorporate it into your current system while still using your Marantz for multichannel duties. Using the preamp section of an AVR for stereo is a performance killer. Would be very helpful to know specifically what equipment you have.
