2. amps-preamps

Was my friend given misinformation.

My friend is just getting into audio for a music system. In his price rang I thought the Rogue Sphinx V3 would be a nice choice. He could also look at the Revel Concerta 2 line of speakers. Well he decided to stop by Magnolia at Best Buy.  Not a bad setup he got a Denon 3700 AVR and a pair of B&W 603's. He said the salesman told him to stay away from integrated amps as they are not anything but stripped down AVR's without the features. So I guess all us owners of 2 channel preamps and integrated have been duped. Who knew??

That brought back some memories. As soon as I saw Judge Reinhold, "They can bury you in them" came rushing back before it even started. 👍

The way to go about it next time around is to do what Richard Dreyfuss did in the movie, Let It Ride. He plays this down on his luck gambler who loves the horses and on one lucky day, he simply can't go wrong. 

On one race, he asks dozens of people who their pick is, marking it off on his program over and over and when he's done, he sees that one horse was never picked, so he picks that one, and it wins. 

Life is, as they say, a crapshoot.

All the best,

Everyone knows that Best Buy clerks are the go to for everything you need to know about anything. I remember someone here citing a clerk at a retail store giving the definitive answer to what's going on with inflation. Always a good source for a laugh.
