yeah you're right - i auditioned the lexicon mc-8 and wasn't impressed - it sounded no better as a preamp than a harman kardon receiver (but the harman kardon was like 1/5 of the price)you should try the cary cinema 6 out - don't be fooled by the relatively low price, like you i've been hunting around for a long time and this is the first unit i liked that i could actually afford. unfortunately, no balanced ins or out but then my power amp doesn't do balanced either.
