Why don't you just keep the Outlaw and by a nice tube preamp with home theater by pass. I am sure for stereo it would sound substantially better.
HT pre-amp/proccessor advise.
I currently use an Outlaw Model-950, but am considering upgrading. I'm looking for the best audio performance I can get for two channel stereo, multichannel SACD, DD/DTS. Video performance is not really inportant as I run my video direct to my TV. It would also be nice if the processor had crossover filters for 5.1 analog inputs. I have a tight budget of $1500 and will probably have to buy used. Any recommendations?
