Hi Ray,
You are correct about the shipping costs being high, however I am purchasing from Vancouver, Canada and still saving about $400 compared to local prices. That $400 goes towards QS8's and an EP350.
The 2105 extras (10 watts/channel more, phono input and auto calibration) fit into what I was looking for.
I have a lot of old jazz (some direct to disc) lp's that will be begging for the turntable soon so I figured that would be a good option to have. I'll be waiting for Bren to chime in about the records snap, crackle pop etc.
This will be a major receiver upgrade for me and should keep me away from upgradeitis for a while.
Does the extended warranty apply directly to an authorized Denon repair facility?
Thanks for your response.
Shaun
