I am also a happy T773 owner and I am extremely happy with it's easy to operate remote and menu features. I have it also hooked up to the zone 2 in the living room. The zone 2 remote is a line of sight which requires a remote eye,(fairly cheap to buy) so for the volume adjustments it's a nice to have item. They really did design this for easy operation. This receiver is powerful and very capable, sounds great too.

What software version are you running? Did you do the upgrade?

I just got a killer deal on an Arcam AVR-300 and DV-78 combo to go with the Axiom Epic 80 Package/EP-600.

It will likely be late August before everything arrives - but this is going to be FUN !

And here I was getting all excited about my "new" used Denon 2105 @ 90 WPC!!!! hmmm... It really is much better than my Yamaha-much fuller sound with better channel separation. However it isn't a NAD T773.... Ahhh, I can only drool and hope the wife gets so excited about the Denon that continuing with upgraditis isn't so difficult..snicker..snicker...

Congrats & enjoy. It looks awesome on their website.

The Denon is a great piece of equipment ... congrats on getting it, and enjoy !

Neverhappy and I are having fun exploring what can be done with different electronics. Just consider us to be nerds with too much time on our hands, and we have understanding wives ...

I listened to an Arcam intregated amp for the first this weekend while visiting a friend. It was sitting underneith a NAD cd player and at first look I didn't even notice they were from different manufacturers. The styling looked almost identical. The Arcam was a nice, clean, simple design and sounded great.

I purchased with the version 2 software. Not sure what the upgrade was, but there is always something to improve I guess. Whatever it was it sounds great to me the just way it is.

interesting. these are the two amps I'm leaning towards, the 773 and 3805. Have you had experience with both, anyone have?

How about onscreen display, does the nad have it? and I think I read that the nad does not have upconversion ( s-video-component etc)

I have now owned both the 3805 and the 773. Both great units. I guess it comes down to what you are looking for? If you want more bells and whistles and some very neat options, get the 3805. If you want ease of use and power out the ying yang, the 773 wins hands down.
