Good choices in a used A/V pre-amp?

Another vote for the Lexicon DC-1. With Logic 7 processing, it was designed for 7.1. DTS capable as well as Dolby Digital. One of the easiest processors to program on top of that. I still know of one that was installed in a million dollar theater(I'm not joking) in Mendocino that is only now slated for upgrade.

I neglected to mention that I obtained my DC-1 v2.1(DTS,DD,THX,Logic7) for only $500. This is an absolute bargain by any standard of measurement.

Porchecab,
I actually have 3 Angstroms--2 w/dts and the 205 and one just pro logic. Moffit was way ahead of his time. Too bad MML had to close; who knows what he would have come up with!
I use on of the Angstroms in my main system sharing time with the Lexicon MC-12B. The other is for the second system. I'll save the third one for parts, etc. I do not use the 205 at the moment; it's kind of a pain in the butt to set up and use. I just use the Angstrom for dts and matrix (mostly for sacd 2 channel-the lexicon won't process the 2 channel in surround). IMO this pre-pro performs with the best of them at about any price. By the way, there's a 200/205 combo for sale on this site for $895; alittle pricey but still worth it. When I see a good deal on the 100, I'll get it for DD.

Mike,

The 200 is that good, certainly. I love it. Agreed, $895 is too much, though if someone is willing..............

I would spend about $500 for the pair, DELIVERED! And would do so happily. Until then, the Golden Theater GTX-1 is the best 2 channel/processor all in one for 2 channel alone!

With regards to the Lexicon, can someone give me a primer on the "versions?" Thanks.
