He has not heard the Anthem in his sytem, only at the store. In the Anthem store he liked the Anthem better than his 950 (although he wasn't that familiar with the 950). In his home, he says the 26 year old HK solid state integrated amp has a better soundstage than his 950. I'd be curious how the Anthem would sound in his system. The comparison is as I understand it, using just stereo and using just analog. Because, that's how 26 year old solid state integrated amplifiers work.

I compared the Anthem in digital mode with both CD and DVD. I am quite familiar with the 950. I have delved fairly deeply into configuration including crossover points, distance settings, digital settings, source selection, trim setting, tone settings, etc.
The differences I heard were head-to-head, same speakers, same sources. The Anthem sounded substantially better. Please reread the original post and the thread.
It's not about analog and old amplifiers. It's about head-to-head digital decoding and audio performance.
Regards,
Santa Clara Jim
