|   Sold Nakamichi IA-1z dts; looking for replacement w/ 5.1 in | VEFF
Nov 11, 2003 9:41 PM | | Hi,
I just sold my Nakamichi IA-1z dts integrated amplifier.
I ONLY sold it because I NEED 5.1 inputs (and wouldn't mind 7.1 inputs) for SACD and possibly DVD-Audio (my current DVD player supports SACD, not DVD-Audio).
I know that the replacement will not be quite as good musically, but I would appreciate any comments on some of my options below:
Some possible replacements for the Nakamichi are:
- NAD T761 (used for $425 OBO) or NAD T752 (new for $699)
(Is the T752 actually better than the T761?)
- NAD T762 for $899, if it is worht the extra money over the T752
- Marantz SR-7300 (demo for $599, maybe a bit less).
- Sony ES series 7.1 STR-DA2000ES + 5 year warranty ($538 new)
- Sony 3000ES 7.1 (150W X 7) + 7.1 PREAMP OUT + 5 year warranty ($740 new).
- Sony STR-DA5ES - apparently features surround sound processing based on the renowned Sony TA-E9000ES. ($699 used)
- 6.1 channel Outlaw Audio 1050. (New. US$499 + shipping).
B&K, Carver and Rotel cost more than I feel like spending, given that there are some nice NAD models for a lot less, that will be just as good for my purposes.
Any recommendations, including choices not listed above, would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot! |

If not, it will be a T761 or Marantz SR-7300 or an Outlaw Audio 1050.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks! |
