poor (just-starting-out-dealer) probably had no idea how much I liked my AVP. It's replacement going to have to be pretty darn good. I've heard none of the Lexicons are very good as preamps in comparison (great surround modes though).I may not be happy with anything less than Levinson No. 40 but I can't afford this anytime soon. Halcro ? still $$$$. I'll probably tough it until the Proceed craps out (and even then I might be able to get it repaired for far cheaper than a suitable new pre/pro).
