Thanks for your reply. Its great to know the unit is delivering the goods as promised. I think for those,like myself, who are still on the waiting list, its just the type of information we want to hear! The recent issues with hissing units/audio dropouts and other issues has made some of us a little hesitant to hang in there, especially when there are some fine units like Rotel and, the soon to be, Newcastle processor. Thanks again, and to the other gunslingers out there....
