Why no love for Integra's?


The new Integra DTC-9.8 looks very good on paper. However, you rarely see the Integra brand mentioned on the various forums.

Any of you have experience with this line. I'm considering selling my Arcam AVP-700 and going with this pre, primarily because of the Room EQ that might help in my set-up. However, my Arcam is also very good with two channel audio and I'm worried the Integra might not be so good.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Jack,

We hear ya. No idea why, you are correct, Integra is basically Onkyo Elite gear. We've just pulled the Integra receiver that we used for 3 years and we're just blown away at the lack of interest in Integra gear. That's our DPC 8.5 up there which is still an in production available CD/DVD/SACD...unit. Honestly, it had alot to do with us deciding NOT to go with the new Integra Pre/Pro. We have tastes that change occasionally and we aren't interested in gear that we've paid good money for that is still in Tip Top working condition that we can't re-sell.
