Anthem AVM-20

Solid build. No functional issues. Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs/ outputs. Toroidal transformer. Non-HDMI. Multi-channel analog pass-through allows you to bypass onboard digital processing. If your Blu-Ray player or other digital source has analog outs, you can process the latest digital formats in your source and run the output to the preamp. I used my Oppo BDP to run HDMI video directly to the monitor and 7.1 analog sound to the Anthem. That way, I never needed HDMI in the preamp. Of course, if you want the pre-amp to process a digital signal, the Anthem's on-board DAC is still respectable.

The original remote is missing, but I will include a pre-programmed universal remote at my asking price.

Rated conservatively for age and some minor cosmetic flaws. See image taken with flash. Shows a light 1" scratch on top of case. No scratches or damage on face plate.
