Anyone need a preamp? ;)

It's not as insane a price as the 885 deal a few months ago, but ShopOnkyo has the refurb Onkyo Pro PR-SC886P pre-pro for $1200, $1000 if you're a "Club Onkyo" member (free registration).

This is the same unit as the Integra 9.9, with every feature you could want: Audyssey MultEQ XT room correction (plus Audyssey Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume), Reon HQV video processor with per-input calibration, high-end Burr-Brown DACs all around, 2 HDMI outputs, balanced audio outs to the amp, etc. etc. Great price if you want to do separates.

Edit: they don't have any at the moment, but Accessories4Less is supposed to get some in for $1000 as well.

Thanks, I'm still in the market for a pre-pro but refurbs scare me. Too many bad experiences.

My refurb 876 from Accessories4Less seems perfect to far

the refurb 885 is back for $800 as well

How are you liking your new AVR, Yoyo? You just using it as a pre, or amp as well?

Just using it as a pre. I'm glad I changed my rack design to give is as much ventilation space as I could

It's working fine. I just need to get some more blu-ray movies now
