The 3805 packs a lot in for the money (~£800), but if music is mainly what you want, you can spend a lot less and get a lot more. You could actually do a lot worse than a second hand Rotel RA-820 from ebay. I've got one here and it's not bad at all. I think the A and the B versions are better still, but Robin probably knows more about that than I do. -- Patrick Dixon www.at-view.co.uk _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
