Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

Just a few words!

Jackman:
I still want my Passive setup,but will be looking into what I can do with the Panny unit also. I think it is a great Digital product to trickle down to the Mid-Fi consumer and would buy it over any of the A\AB classed recievers out there under $1000. That is what I heard in the unit.Kmowing that the perfoemance level can be increased is a MAJOR [urchasing point as I have always maintained that if you want value find pieces that can be modified to bring them to NEAR SOTA performance.

I like the stock unit for convenience and sound quality for the insignificant amount more than anything. I should hope your AVA gear outshines it being 11X more along with all the IC's you need to hook into it plus associated equiptment. I think I would cry seeing a unit perform better accross the board goiing for $300.L

People talk about transparency and it was a strong aspect that attracted me to the unit. Using a Passive Controller gave me that kind of transparency ,but to much of it as I was starting to listen to pieces that were only good recordings with stuff I use to like creating dust. For me the Passive Controller setup is wtill a must,but the Panasonic unit gives that type of playback which is clean that I look for and to get it in a $300 Do-It-All type of unit was just not there a year ago.

By he way I still am looking for that great amp also for 2channel reference to use with a Passive Controller! Plinius,Coda and a few others would do the job nicely. Maybe in a few months.I will be keeping the Panny also and it will be modified.

Regards!
