I have used this NAD preamp (link below) for many years. It has been quite reliable. The price is reasonable, given the performance. http://spearitsound.amazonwebstore.com/N..._source=froogle Cheers.

I planning to buy a new AV Preamp/Processor very soon. I have been waiting for the new Outlaw 997. In the meanwhile I am looking at the new Marantz AV8003 Networking unit. I have been comparing features to the 997 (also using the Sherwood AV R-972). I like the AV8003 network capabilities.
Right now I can buy Marantz @25% discount. It has a lot of features and is available Now!
Since I am a novice and want to maximize features, which would be best to buy? How does the 997 compare to the 8003 for quality, etc?
I would appreciate your input.

The 950 owners have been heard and recognized!
• Original owners of our "First Generation" products, the Model 1050 receiver and the Model 950 processor, will receive a $100 discount** on the purchase of a Model 997. Even though these products are long out of production, we want to show our appreciation for those who have been a part of the Outlaw family from the beginning. THANK YOU, OUTLAW!

Peter Tribeman posted in this thread that they are still waiting on the release of the Sherwood R-972, which will precede the 997 by at least 60 days (duration dependent on how smoothly the R-972 launch goes).

Hi Outlaws. Work and Travel have kept me away from the Saloon for 3-4 years. Due to economy, no job or travel for now. Time to upgrade the HT. The 950 is still doing a great job. It will move to the bedroom. The 997 looks like it should be the replacement. I'm on the list. Hope it does something like analog bypass. No phono input is no problem. I would use my tube phono preamp anyway. I see the 970 has analog bypass. The 990 lists a pure analog mode. Not sure what that means. Guess I'll have to read the posts and reviews to get up to speed. Glad to see Gonk is still here and active. Equipment will be posted as soon as I figger out how.

The 997 looks like it should be the replacement. I'm on the list. Hope it does something like analog bypass. I would expect the 997 to retain the 990's analog bypass. I see the 970 has analog bypass. The 990 lists a pure analog mode. Not sure what that means. Pure analog and analog bypass are the same with different names.

And there are more than .0001% of us quadrophiles (surroundophiles) out here. Don't believe me?...check out www.quadraphonicquad.com!

As far as the phono input, Outlaw could provide an optional internal board, ordered by the purchaser, and installed by them.
