Looking for good A/V Preamp...does such a thing exist? - Blu-ray Forum

I'm looking for a preamp that essentially does what the Sony DA5200ES receiver does...lots of inputs and switching capabilities for component and HDMI. Does such an animal exist?

it always exists, depends on what you want to pay though

Best for the money is the Anthem AVM50, i think thats the name. Very pricy though, like 5k.

Ha ha. Jinx.

it's funny becuase the anthem is what i had in mind as well

Thanks, but are the Anthem HDMI specs even compatible with the PS3, SACD or Blu-ray?

Kind of a pointless question as I'm not gonna splurge on that puppy no matter what.

Anything else out there besides the Anthem?

A long ways away from the likes of a Denon 2807 or stuff like that.

Have you checked out the AVM 40 or AVM 50 from Anthem?
