Classe SSP-75

Fantastic sounding prepro. Very analogue sounding and huge soundstage. Closest thing today is the new Arcam at $9500. Balanced inputs and outputs - I used it as a preamp to biamped speakers and subwoofer and second (outdoor) zone. For video, just add an HDMI switcher for $150. Very minor issues: the front LCD display sometimes (e.g. once every few weeks) temporarily (e.g., 30 min) glitches and shows foreign characters - not really an issue for use; etched lettering on remote is a bit faded.
