Thanks. Good information there. I just added the 890 to my Amazon wish list (I'm not allowed to buy anything between Halloween and Christmas b/c my family shops so **** early
)
I've been looking for an RF replacement for my Marantz RC2000mkII -- mostly because it is eventually moving to the family room for a 2ch system next year when I upgrade to a different receiver. As of now, the preamps I have in mind (Outlaw, Onkyo/Integra) come with awful remotes so I'm trying to future-proof.
