Best Receiver?


I’m setting up a second system with a set of stand mount speakers and a nice Garrard 301 and want a tuner built in, rather than an integrated amp. Of all the receivers, vintage and more recent, what’s the best sounding? I always thought those massive Marantz etc looked great but didn’t sound particularly good. Anyone have experience with something that sounded great?

You might try Carver, Emotiva and Integra receivers. Buy them used. A couple hundred bucks will get you a unit that sold for thousands. You can always use the preamp outs to drive a better power amp later on. You will still get the benefit of their surround sound decoding features. Happy Listening!
