    Stereo recievers: Denon dra-685 vs Integra dtm-5.3

    I'm not familiar with that particular amp, but in general NAD would probably sound better than either Integra or Denon. My NAD A/V receiver certainly sounded better than my new Integra. I also have an NAD CD player (C541). I haven't heard an Integra CD player, but I'd lean towards the NAD over...

    Stereo recievers: Denon dra-685 vs Integra dtm-5.3

    Integra is Onkyo's "high end" line. The components are very similar to Onkyo, and how much "higher end" Integra is compared with Onkyo is up for debate. But on the whole, it's safe to say that Integra is a quality manufacturer, at least on par with Denon. I own an Integra receiver (5.4 I...

    time for a new receiver

    My receiver (NAD T751) seems to have crapped out on me. Used to be that the right front channel would occassionally go out (only while in 5.1 mode; worked fine in 2 channel), but now the receiver just shuts itself off. I turn it on, and it turns itself off after about 5 seconds. So it seems time...
