I suppose I'm just preaching to the perverted, but there's a complimentary review of our favorite pre/pro in the June issue. For anyone keeping score, FWIW, it was judged a 93 vs 94 for the Denon 5303 and 95 for the Anthem. The reviewer felt in 2 channel mode that the audio had some high-end edginess, but overall was impressed with the 2 channel sound especially in direct mode, and the HT was 'better than any receiver' I suppose including the Denon 5303. Glowing review of the amp.
