Turning back the clock: Denon AVR 3808ci

Well, I shipped my 7 yr old Odyssey Stratos stereo amp in my main 2 ch rig back to Klaus for diagnosis and repair (left channel has some buzzing and other distortion) , and more than likely a recap or whatever other upgrades Klaus wants to do while it’s in his shop. Then today, after 3 days of musical silence, it occurred to me that I have an old Denon 3808ci collecting dust in the basement from the pre-Atmos pre-4k dark ages.

Out of the box and into the rig, some minor rewiring to bypass my preamp, and now there is a big fat smile on my face. This is one musical AVR! Maybe I could have gotten a couple hundred for it back when I upgraded my home theater, but today I’m so so glad I didn’t.
