jefny Gunslinger Registered: 04/22/01 Posts: 73 Loc: Manhasset, NY, USA	I have been running a Marantz SR5005 as a pre-amp with a 15 year old model 770 with a 7.2 system and everything is going strong. I do bypass the Marantz for my Sony Projector by running the hdmi cable directly from the bluray player to the projector. My player has a second hdmi output for audio that goes to the Marantz. As I have no plans to go beyond 7.2 what is gained by replacing the Marantz with a 976 pre-amp and is it a good pairing with the Model 770 amp? JohnF

The 976 offers a more up to date suite of electrical nirvana in the way of HDMI and HDCP and supprt for 4k video. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner

I may have a 4k projector in the future though I may continue to have a setup where the 4k player will be directly connected to the projector because of a long run hdmi cable (35 feet). When I originally ran it through the pre-amp I had hand shake problems and I remember my conversations with Outlaw when I purchased the Marants SR5005 that replaced my Outlaw preamp 950 about issues with long hdmi runs.

XenonMan Desperado Registered: 04/08/08 Posts: 2676 Loc: Columbus,North Carolina	The new fiberoptic HDMI cable should resolve many of the distance limitations. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner

I use the Monoprice ones at my job, the 150 ft one, and no issue! _________________________ Eric Desrochers http://www.blu-ray.com/community/gallery.php?member=Deromax " I hear no highs, I feel no lows, it sounds like crap, it must be Bose "
