I would advise that you purchase neither one right now. A better choice will be available next year. I have a Sony receiver that I can't figure out how to use properly. My brother is a Phi Beta Kappa, and the manual for his new receiver is more than he can handle. I used to build stereo amplifiers from kits with point-to-point wiring, but that was 1960. I memorized the Allied Radio Catalogue in earlier years, but now I have no clue.

Seriously, I wouldn't use any kind of guitar amp but a tube amp.

I always go to epinions.com to see if there are customer reviews before buying electronics. I've picked up some good advice from time to time.

Yeah, and I'm totally excited because I just traded my cell phone in for a killer set of soup can's connected with string, got a killer deal too!!Wombat wrote:Hey Loren, do you wear one of those 'Back to Mono' badges too?Loren wrote:

Seriously though, have you ever heard music played through a McIntosh tube amp stereo system? Not the sort of thing I can afford, but I have a lawyer acquaintance with a McIntosh system and lemme tell you, it was awesome
Now, lets get back to guitar amps, my boss has a vintage Mesa Boogie combo that he never uses :roll: I've been trying to pry that outta his hands for a year now. It has the beautiful wood cabinet and all, drool....

foxacious.... I really, really like that word. It feels spiffy when I say it. I think I shall begin using it immediately so that it can join ranks with 'snarky' and 'sparrowfart o' clock'.
Oh, and to keep this on-topic: Amar, you should get the top one, it looks more foxacious.

In my other life, we use the Yamaha at a number of our TV stations for 5.1 audio confidence monitoring (via toslink). Out of some 26 broadcasting Chief Engineers, none of them has a complaint with it for quality.

I've had the ONKYO TX-SR501 for about a year. It's a grat machine. Most of all, get lots of good speakers. Unless you're good at it, have them professionally installed, if the money is available. I put an extra set of speakers in another room as this receiver can run two sources at the same time.
Go for it.

Do what I do. Research them to the point of obsession, then buy the one that looks the best and forget the research.
That's what I did today. We are beginning renovation on our house and this includes all new/old kitchen. Appliances MUST look right in a vintage style 20's kitchen. Ended up buying probably the wrong range based soley on the way it would look in the kitchen.
