edited July 2005 in Wanted (WTB) Classifieds
ITEM 1: Looking for a very basic pre amp on the cheap. Make/model doesn't really matter. I would like to find something in well under the $100 range if possible

ITEM 2: a 5.1 receiver, preferrably with DTS. Low power OK, this is for movies upstairs and won't be cranked and will be driving efficient speakers.

Any help on either of these would be apprectiated!

Added: Loaners would be fine as well

    Preferrably under a $100, but would go up to $200 for screaming deals. All in all though I just need a basic HT receiver.

    I've got my Onkyo, with 5.1 inputs, if your DVD has the processors built in (how I used it).

    Cheers,

    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    I don't think my little DVD player is that smart/special. I'll check tonight.
