Thanks Feanor. The 9555 would be an incredible integrated for some of the people here looking for a good budget stereo set up. One Call had it priced at $699.00. Especially coming with a built in phono stage. I thought it was cool that even with using digital tachnology the Onkyo was able to go from 85 watts into 8 ohms and then 200 into 4 ohms, keeping with the characteristics of what a high current amp would do. I'd love to hear one.

The Shoot Out article was good. What do you think of that Trends at $129.00 being the winner? Talk about your "giant killer". Now if they came out with a model as good with more inputs and power they could make a big market impact. Still at $129.00 and winning the shoot out, this has to be a budget audio enthusiasts dream. With a decent source and sensitive speakers you could have a killer system for not much money.

An interesting shoot out would something similar but mix in a few amps with analog outputs to see how people perceived the difference.
