I think you should avoid the V333ES since it is a year old and the new DA line is supposed to offer a new redesigned amp that is reminiscent of the old DA7ES. What's your budget for a new receiver? That will help us out. |

Oct 5, 2001 3:20 PM | | Thank you for your input. A good friend of mine has the old Sony DA30ES Receiver from a couple of years ago and it sounds great, got a good review from Sound & Vision. He loves it and it really impressed me. I would like to spend no more than $800.00. |

Oct 5, 2001 3:29 PM | | If you dig sony and are mildly interested in 6.1 check out there new DA33ES, www.crutchfield.com has all the information on it. If you are open to considering other brands then I fully reccomend either the Denon 3802 or the Denon 2802. |

I had two ES555 units that had very bad hiss. Also the video signal would not switch properly, the volume control went up and down by itself, the LCD remote was useless.
I sent them both back and got a Marantz SR-19EX. What a great unit. No problems at all and very very good sound, much better that the Sony in every respect. The remote is fantastic as well.
My two cents worth, hope it helps.
