Onkyo VS Onkyo Integra

There is a build quality difference between the two. I will speak of the home theater receivers only in this writing for last years models. I was a warrenty service center for a # of companies including onkyo and intergra, I dropped all companies last year because of there pay scales do not meet with the time needed to work on most equitment in todays market.
If you where to open the equivlent rcv's they would look the same in side, same exact layout and board lay out. What seperates them is the build quality. The integra uses higher/quality tolerence resistors and caps on there processor and power supply boards. But all else is the same except the detachable A/C cord and obviously the front panel. They the integras do sound more transperant then the onkyo's but not by much.
Hope this helps you, Gary

Hhawk: You are correct. There is the Onkyo line, the Onkyo Integra line and then the vastly superior Integra Research line. Garcom is correct about the Onyo Integra line using higher quality resistors, caps, detachable power cable and a different face plate, and as you stated, they offer a 3 year warranty.

Thanks for the additional responses. It sounds like the Integra series probably is worth the extra bucks although from what I have read, most people like the regular Onkyo series anyway. Guess I will base my decision on how soon I think I will have to upgrade. If I plan on keeping it quite awhile I will probably spring for the more expensive version.
If anyone has an opinion on it, please see my thread asking whether it makes much difference what receiver you buy if you are only using it for the surround sound functions (and the pre-out L and R for the exisiting amps.)
