Thank you so much for a reply! I can't believe someone already said something, very encouraging. So, I hear ya, about the tangent of room EQ's, which will likely NOT help me. You got me thinking about another thing I forgot to inquire. Repairs.... I had a Denon previously, and the pwr amp supply thing broke. They don't have a replacement, so I am forced to upgrage. I am curious if there is any knowledge about replacing parts in the future. It is myunderstanding that Denon tends to change parts as they upgrade, thus forcing you to upgrade if/when you have problems over time. Is this something to expect from Yamaha/Onkyo? Again, I would really like to go Denon again, but there is no way to play turntable, without gettting a preamp, or something. Any idea if I can get one of those for cheap?
Thank you again for a quick reply!!!!
