Separates vs A/V receiver

[Tee]

I'm a proud owner of a Integra DTC-9.8 as well, and i have to say Integra has a true winner on their hands. You get so much bang for your buck that it's hard not put Integra on your short list. Sure, there are other AVR’s with the same capabilities. However I see very few Pre/Pros just AVR’s with higher price tags than the Integra. I went in expecting high quality sound performance across the board and plenty of flexibility. I got more than I expected in spades, and the performance is what I anticipated from a product like this. I have had in my rack since last Aug, i got lucky to get one out of the first batch that were shipped. Once you mate it with a nice amp and a bitstreaming Blu-ray player you are in for a treat! Also the video processing you get with the built in Reon HQV vp is a great with SD/HDTV content.


Here are some reviews on the unit.

all I need to do is find a place to buy the Integra DTC 9.8 in Alberta Canada and I might be set.

Quick question: does the DTC-9.8 have gold plated terminals? (I can't believe one has to ask that question in AV land. In stereo land it's a given that any half decent piece of kit will have gold plated terminals...)
