I picked up a used 3808 from a member here a coupla years ago, (still) works like a champ. Can't tell if AL24 is even different from another Denon I have with AL32, tho....I wouldn't put too much into that "feature". Still, with something that old normally I'd want to buy local rather than fleabay etc so I can go test it, but felt secure with a regular member and how he used it.
