Outlaw Audio AnnouncementI'm interested in seeing how well-received the Trinnov implementation is going to be.

Wow, sounds like some pretty exciting technology. I only hope the implementation matches the expectation.
Not too bad of a price, either, even if it is just a processor. I just wish they made cosmetic changes to the new unit. I like my audio stuff all pretty like.

Interesting. With the discussion in the last few days about outboard amps and the clean amplification that many AVRs deliver, I have been wondering what these 'specialty' companies could/would do to maintain relevance.

Gotta say, the line that cracks me up is the bit about "Buy the old stuff now! We'll give you a $200 discount on the new stuff!"
Yeah... buy a $1000 preamp now to get $200 off a $1400 preamp, for a total of $2200! I'm not good with money, but I'm better than that!

Maybe thats why I never did well with marketing stuff. I was either picking my jaw up off the floor or picking myself up after laughing too.
I was constantly amazed at what marketing people (like my former bosses) could say with a strait face.

Luckily I don't need a new receiver right away, but dang. The other major brands are coming out with second iteration models since the R-972 was announced and still nothing from Newcastle. Strange.

Veeeerrrryy Interrrrrresting. I'll have to keep my eye on that. I do need a new prepro and I've been waiting for over a year for one that meets my specs. Sounds like this is another one to consider. Excited to hear that they'll be another option for me next year. Regarding the $200 discount...you do get to keep the old prepro. You could sell it, put it in another room, etc. But this $200 discount promise has been on the table for quite a while. So if you've owned a 970/990 for a few years, I believe you qualify for the discount on the new one. It's not just for someone buying a 990/970 right now. I do completely agree that it would be a little silly to buy a 990/970 today just so you could save $200 in 4 monhts. Hey at least it's something for owners. Does Axiom ever offer an $XXX discounts to existing owners on upgraded/new products? Gotta say, the line that cracks me up is the bit about "Buy the old stuff now! We'll give you a $200 discount on the new stuff!"

Axiom DOES have a trade up program. When it was forst started, I considered trading in my old 350 for two of the newer models to tame my Sucky Room® but I couldn't swing the price difference, despite Axiom's generous trade-in allowance.
