Hey Outlaws,

I was wondering what people owned before 'upgrading' to the Outlaw 990?

My previous pre-amps included the Sherwood Newcastle AVP-9080R and Sony TA-E9000ES. The Sony was a definite improvement over the Newcastle, but I still believe the Newcastle is a noteworthy DTS decoder considering price vs. performance. Neither of them is considered hi-end, but are decent entry-level HT pre's.

I am especially interested in hearing from those who have owned the ELITE $$$$ brands such as Proceed, Lexicon, Meridian, Linn, Tag McLaren, Anthem, etc. but still found happiness with Outlaw.

Look forward to hearing about your experiences
