    It should be here tomorrow. I'll start another thread and review it the best I can. But you got to remember this is my 1st Preamp so only the AVR to compare it to. LOL

    This experience was more of an eye opener than my first power amp.

    This is what I'm hoping for guys. It seems all in the know keep telling us that an AVR is not the best for music.

    Ya know what's funny is that I had no idea I could integrate a 2 channel preamp in an HT setup. If I had of known I would have done this years ago. LOL

    The waiting is killing me!!!

    Where's the damn preliminary review and the gratuitous picture of the box being stripped of its contents?

    That's what I'm wondering too!

    Just my personal opinion, but I'd take the MF pre over the W4S any day of the week. 2 totally different sounds. I know I pushed the M6 integrated on someone around here and he still hasn't peeled all the **** off his face.

    The p5 should remain a contender even if you never use the added goodies. Will only help re-sale value down the line.

    But the Musical Fidelity doesn't have Balance Control (really helpful to center the image) like Parasound.

    I'm guessing since this thread was in 2015, the decision was made loooong ago.

    Plus, the last three preamps I've had none had balance OR tone controls and I never missed them one bit.

    Agreed.

    The balance control would only move the image away from center. Otherwise you have other issues to deal with
