Problem advice please
Mike:Why not just call/email John Tucker? He may have the answer. I had the same thing happen to a DRA 245 receiver about 10 years ago and at the time, Denon designed the unit to be serviceable by only a technician. Can't imagine that sort of thin...

2-channel receivers: Nad, ROtel, or new OUtlaw...
I auditioned both the NAD & Rotel ... went with the Outlaw. I felt that the Outlaw had a superior tuner and the amp side was on par with the NAD C320BEE (which I owned for 4 years). Regards, Rich

Point of diminishing returns
Macrojack:A macroeconomics term. As explained to me in Economics 101 ... once ice cream is great; two ice creams are very good; five ice creams make you sick. In other words, the more you consume, the lesser the incremental utility (enjoyment) you...

I've all the gears. Whatelse do I need?
You can try some interconnects, speaker cables, and power cords from Signal Cable . That is what I use with my Prima Luna Prologue 2 and Omega Super 3 Speakers. You can also try to score a headphone amp from Creek. Then again there's always music...
