I landed a Sunfire TGP III last night on Audiogon!:D It's the 17" model so I can fit it in my rack.

I just dread having to go through the whole setup process again. It's such a pain in the neck. Not to mention learning a whole new remote.

I'll probably be needing you guys help to get everything straightend out.

But I'm psyched!:D I'm finally back to an all separates system.:D

    Nice pre/pro Cathy!

    Another nice slow deliberate upgrade that will no doubt yield many hours of enjoyment.

    Those are excellent pre/pros, but I personally didn't like the remote.....A little too complicated for me....Did you get the glass plate with it?

    I haven't gotten it yet, so I don't know. I probably wouldn't use it anyway.

    Don't tell me that about the remote Bill, I'm worried enough about figuring it out as it is!

    I hope someone has one like it to help me figure it out.

    Thanks guys.

    Congrats Cathy, be interested to hear your comments on having a dedicated pre/pro vs. your current Denon you're using for pre/pro duties. Re-learning stuff is a PITA but I think you'll find the dedicated pre/pro a plus.

    No idea Chuck, but it DOES have one. I may even take out, dust off & put on one of my few albums to hear how it sounds. :eek: :eek: Same goes for my tape deck.:eek:

    You know what can happen if you get near vinyl... Just a warning. :)

    Congrats on the new preamp!

    Congrats Cathy very nice addition. You are going to need to get 5 sets of XLR interconnects now that you have the available technology.:D

    You will love the difference in clarity and detail these willl provide. I see that the new pre offers hdmi and all kinds of goodies woo hoo.

    And yes it will take around 6 months or so to fully understand and be able to navigate the new remote lol.

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    Yes I do! And the enjoyment lasts for YEARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSS!:D

    I purchased my Denon in 2001! Now that I'm back to all separates, I won't be ugrading my electronics unless something breaks.

    All that is left is speakers. But unless Polk comes out with a size/weight managable LSI tower, I will keep my current speakers till they break.

    Not interested in new cables the ones I have now will do just fine. Oh BTW, because I agreed to pay the 36.00 shipping, he threw in a free Kimber Kable power cord!:D

    No Dac's for me Darla.
