An AVR with pre-amp mode is much cheaper than an AVP, and can perform just as well if not better. It can lack features like balanced outputs compared to an AVR. I believe
@PENG went from AVP to AVR for pre-amp duties, if I recall correctly.
As for pre-amp mode is useful or not for a specific AVR depends on the implementation.
As for not answering his questions about what I own is that it is irrelevant in this case, and I do not want to encourage a culture that ownership is necessary to comment on measurements or reviews where it is not relevant.
That's your post I believe #3027 in the Yamaha advantage thread? I noticed you got real quiet after he asked you to limit your criticisms since you didn't want to be transparent with what you owned
In fact that whole dialogue was revealing and makes my point. The moment your asked to put up or shut up you have nothing to say just a bunch of b.s. deflection.
Like I said HYPOCRITE!!!!!
Man I stuck up for you in the past but they are right about you
you are nothing but a fu$%in troll.
