Hi Tom,
I know what you mean and I agree with you 100%. As I said in my posting it is a 'silly'
pre-conceived idea (no hard facts behind it) that is in my head which works automatically and has kept me away from owning a Hitachi-related product.
I recently almost talked a friend out of buying a 3803 because of this silly idea. He stuck to his decision and he is very happy with the 3803.
BTW, although I haven't owned a Denon doesn't mean I haven't sold any. I made very good money selling Yamaha and Denon receivers back in 1998-2000. I still have a link of one Denon product on my old and never updated
website
Cheers.
