I am looking at these 4 units.
Sherwood Newcastle P-965
Adcom GTP-880
Parasound 7100
Halo C2
I don't think I want to spend much more that 2k for a pre, and the Sherwood I can get for around 1k. Are there any glaring differences between these, objective differences? I hear Sherwoods SNAP program and bass management are poor. Adcom doesn't have a great following. I know Halo is a great one, but is this hype or real. I read a few threads and somebody named Brent is supposedly able to get good deals on the Halo. If all these were priced the same, I guess everyone would choose Halo, but why? What makes it so much better than the 7100? I tried looking at Parasound.com and I don't even see the 7100. I guess it is an older model? I also don't see video upconversion on the C2. Am I just missing the spec ? I don't care much about the remote, as I am hoping whatever universal I get will take care of shortcomings on the remotes. I will be buying soon, so if you know of any deals or dealers who can price check these, please let me know.
thanks a ton
