Big thanks to Xman!

YUP!! I'm WAY past tired of this problem. To my ear the 975 eats my Rotel RSP-1068 as an appetizer! And it retailed @ 3X the $ over 10 years ago! Still works... ...mostly.

We-e-e-ll... the low power stuff deserve this long over "upgrade" too.

"Sounds" like sound advice. Can't recall if the unused APC 750 at work has that feature - I want to guinea pig w/it though I think the battery is overdo for replacement.

Wish I an "O" scope to take the readings.

A side note: I underestimated the Rotel 985 draw @ 4A. In fact it's rated @ 800 watts @ full power - 6.6A(?) pushing the amps assumed full power current to over 21A plus the Audio Pro. I CAN spell both Furmans for Delay turn on.
