I've been resisting this for weeks now. A new Pre/Pro was just going to cost more than I wanted to dive in for, then Marantz replaced the AV7703 with the AV7704, which seems like it's 97% rebadge/minor update. I've been watching the price of 7703s dropping... and dropping. Now, my Sherbourne pre/pro, which has excellent audio, but has always been a little twitchy, has been getting more twitchy. Multiple times this week, it's circuits have gotten confused and I've had to turn it off and on again to get things to function properly. Immediately after looking at the price of the 7703 again, I sat down to watch a movie, switched the input from TV to the Oppo, and it switched inputs, but the display still says it's on the TV input with DD instead of the BR player and DTS-HD. Clearly, this was a sign from above.
That's when my resistance ended...
So, sometime between Thursday and Monday I'll be trying to figure out how to reprogram my old Logitach Harmony One to operate the Marantz instead of the Sherbourne.
Switching out a Pre/Pro is a simple process, after all... right?
