Suggest you also look at the Outlaw Model 950 Preamp. Sold direct for $795
has a great
reputation both in absolute terms and in terms of value.

Hello Guyz,

For the last 3 years i have a Denon AVP-A1 together with the PO-T2/T3
and a Denon DVD-5000 and KEF reference 3 front and reference 2 on the
back. I'm verry happy with it (!!) sounds great.

But,.....
the DVD also supports DTS, but the AVP-A1 doesnt Now a days i see
a lot of DTS releases which i can't play, therefore looking for a new
A/V pre-amp. I like to keep my POA's for now.

Need some good advice. What would you recommend? The Arcam AV8, NAD
S170 or the (new) ROTEL RSP-1098. The Aram is verry nice but also the
most expensive. Dont know anything about ROTEL & NAD, are they both in
the same league (as arcam)? Or better / worse?

Then, i still think of the PROCEED AVP, bit more expensive but....
(maybe a bit old?) Or mabe something else i might have overlooked?

I want the best for both audio a& video (but thats what everybody
want, this means to me i dont only use it for DTS / AC-3 moveis etc.
but also stereo.

Well hope some of you got some good advice

Thanks,
Roger
