I want to replace my aging Parasound AVC-1800, but I'm on a tight budget. Has anymore used or considered using the 1070 as a pre/pro as opposed to either the 970 or maybe 990? Is this a viable option sonically and functionally?

Reason for considering:
970 - has a few bugs that aren't yet fixed.
990 - price for the most part.

Current System :
Denon DVD-1920
Parasound AVC-1800
Krell KAV-500
Von Schweikert VR2000 (front)
Von Schweikert LCR-20 (center)
PSB Image B25 (rear)
SVS 20-39cs (passive sub)
Parasound HCA-2003 (sub amp)
Hitachi 51S700

The 1070 and 970 are the same platform - Outlaw just removed the amps from the 1070 to get the 970. Since you've already got the Krell amp, I would remove the 1070 from consideration.

gonk,

Strange coincidence, but Volks has a very similat system to me !!! WOW!!! That's scarey!!

Are you implying that the 1070 has the same issues as the 970 also? If so, then I would suggest Volks be a little patient and save for the 990.

We have seen very few (almost no) comments about the 1070 having the same no audio bug as the 970, but the two are the very same platform and so should have the same issues.
