Anthem getting into two channel with new STR pre-amp-- anyone heard it?


Has anybody heard the new STR pre-amp?  I like the feature set for my purposes, but I can't hear it at my local Anthem dealer, as they do not stock this series.  It has home theater bypass, including for two subs.  Also has MM and MC phono inputs, and a DAC.

Dracule,

You can't have it both ways, if you are a dealer and you don't announce you are  one, then you are ragged on and if you are a dealer and you announce you are one and your prospective is based on actually having the product you are also ragged on.

You are missing the point that today, there are very few good retailors left let alone ones that have many of the hot products on display:

we recently brought in Elac, the new Anthem STR Amp and Preamp, the Anthem STR integrated, Mytek Brooklyn Dac and Amp, Aqua Hifi Formula, the LH Davinci, the LH 20G active USB, Innuous Zenith servers, Conrad Johnson Classic 62,  Parasound JC 3Jr, as well as other products that are talked about in the magazines. 

We have been contacted by people reading these posts who have found our comments helpful. Very few of these posts have actually lead to anyone buying anything from us.

If you look at our showroom tour video you  can see just how wide a selection of gear we have on display so if someone wants to acutally know how a Lumin compares to an Aurender compares to a Naim sever or an Innuous guess what we have all of those brands in one room.

There are 54 components in this one room alone, plus 8 pairs of floorstanding loudspeakers. 

Why can a dealer be helpful, because we have the products and can compare products side by side.

mentioning 54 components in one room, you still have not addressed my query about cd/sacd player(s) in use?

Happy Listening!
Jafant, if you are asking what CD players we are using, the answer is almost none.

In our reference room we are using the T+A PDP 3000 which is an amazing CD player/SACD player and DAC. 

We also have the Electrocompaniet CD players as well. 

We get fantastic sound on the Innuous Music servers or an Aurender or Lumin, directly to our dacs.in our all purpose demo room systems from $2,000-$30k.

In our Reference Room we are using the Batis Reference.

We have a library over 20TB of music so we really don't need to ever get a CD out and spin one. 

Hope that helps.
