Couldn't pass up the deal that I worked out with Mr. Richard Schram himself. Parasound really came through for me and it was a deal that I couldn't refuse. Photos and review of DD+/DolbyTrue HD via analog with my new Toshiba XA2 to come... :D

Anyway, here's my new toy...should be here in a couple of days:

    Congrats, looks real nice. I am more envious of that Toshiba and probably will grab a XA1 down the road to go along with the Panny 50" (1080i).

    Hey beardog03...yup I have the same amp (2205), and I'm sure she'll still sing with her new mate! Which pre/pro are you currently using?

    Congrats man, I am glad they pulled through for you. Bill never did call me back. Nice customer service, huh? Oh well, I am sure you are getting a brand new unit for LESS than his display would have cost you!

    Nice!

    Yeah, I think they finally understood what a dissatisfier the 5.1 analog issue was for me, and after countless emails they stepped up and really made it right for me. Dealing directly with Parasound was great, and I'm proud to keep their equipment in my lineup.

    I should be getting it via Fedex today. :D

    Tell us how it is.... PM me what they charged you for it. Curious how that compares to what I think Bill would have done.

    I started with a mid grade yammie and then the Denon...it`s a good unit, but I would like a Parasound unit to match the amp...

    Of course you have a better unit than I, but I don`t use the denon for anything other than the pre/pro....

    and did I metion that the amp has about 60 hrs on it now..?!!!!!!!:D:D
