I am looking for a used stereo receiver, for my cabin location. I want a
quality receiver, not the junk from Circuit City, etc. I don't need
audiophile stuff, just something that exceeds klh, rca etc etc.
I am thinking that Denon might be a good choice. I would like at least 50
wants per channel. I have no interest in home theater or 5 channels, etc.
This is for stereo only.
My budget is $200-300.
What Denon model would be good for me? Is there another brand that I
should look for? What is a good online site for used stereo equipment ?
Thanks for any help !!

Why don't you look around for a good, used tube receiver from HH Scott,
Fisher, Harman-Kardon, Sherwood, Marantz, et al. All standard parts, and much
better sound quality than from a piece of new gear in that price range. |

Plus, you can use it for a space heater this winter.

I personally doubt that they'll have _better_ sound quality. They may have a
'valve tone' which is fine if you like that kind of thing.

If you don't need AM, look at an Advent 300. |
