Couldn't resist this:
Was going for "not much dosh" on another forum so thought I'd give it a try.
It's an pretty old AV processor (separate boxes for the pre-amp and digital decoder), so doesn't support HD audio formats and additionally had a fault on one of the motherboards, meaning no rear channels.
That's probably enough to put most people off. Making up for that, it's apparently also capable of being a brilliant stereo pre-amp, and despite it's age, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a rather good DAC too. Proceed are part of the Mark Levinson group, and as a unit, it's often compared to some of their dedicated stereo units. New, was close on £10k, so seemed worth a punt for the moola.
Turns up tomorrow, includes the original box, remote and a throw in learning remote. Looking forward to seeing how it compares to my existing Meridian processor. Just wondering if it might be able to outperform it. Even if it doesn't, might make a decent headphone amp, all 16kg of it.
