Amplifier & Pre/Pro Manufacturers

[Big Daddy]

Golden Rule: One amplifier cannot "improve" the original sound compared to another. Rather, one amplifier will simply "degrade" the original signal less than the other.

For the list of Pre/Pro manufacturers with HDMI 1.3 I/O and HD audio support, go to post #2.
