[deezzer]

Sorry.I deleted my post,I guess at the time oh reading typing it you must have posted or something,my bad.Acualy when I finished posting earlt this morning on here I googled Marantz sr6003 and the first forum type review that I came across was at audioholics and as I started reading half way through I noticed it was by bigred himself,and you posted yourself..That was a great review.

^ No sweat. ...And you're absolutely right, Steve did have a good review of it at 'Audioholics',
where he's also a member (that's where I first met him).

Here's another good one on that Marantz SR6003 A/V Receiver:

* I must love this Marantz SR6003 quite a bit myself I guess.

I am sure the 6003 is a nice AVR but only 3 HDMI inputs is a huge mistake. I feel that my system is pretty basic and I am already using 4 of the HDMI inputs on the UMC-1. Nice to have a 5th for future expansion.

Yes, one can always argue that my 720p sources can get by with component video but that is one of the reasons I dumped my old pre-pro for the UMC-1 in the first place. Eliminated a ton of cabling as well as an HDMI switch. The rack is looking very spiffy now. Would never go back to all those cables.

This sound like the lady in the "Running Man" movie. Another Onkyo sales person is around here somewhere.

20" CRT? Hell in 1985, I had a 32" at least. Id be looking at upgrading the display before even worrying about an amp. Got good binoculars?
