Not sure if a dedicated thread is necessary for this pre/pro but I figured with the buy one get a free amp special they are running for $1799.00, there will be a lot of new owners out there.
Order shipped today actually.Quote:

So I suppose you have placed an order for yours. I'll be following this thread with interest.
Maybe a phone call would be more helpful. I don't usually have a lot of luck with emailing companies, myself. What questions did you have Bill? Maybe some people on here can help.Quote:

I emailed Sherbourn twice with questions about the PT 7030 and the sale they are having. I have yet to receive a response.

I just checked and Nick from Sherbourn responded to my first email. So that's great service responding to emails at 8:00pm.
Here are the questions that I sent to Sherbourn:
1. Does the PT 7030 have the ability to decode DSD when HDMI is used from an Oppo player?
2. Are the remote codes for the PT 7030 in the Harmony (LogiTech) database?
3. Is there any audio delay when watching cable/SAT when the audio changes from digital to analog?
4. What would the sale price of the PT 7030 be if I did not want the PA 7-150 amp?
5. Does the PT 7030's remote have the ability to do on the fly channel level adjustments?

What the hell did you say to not even be able to read the threads?! You have a SACD collection and want a written transcript of your conversations with companies. That doesn't sound like a guy who would get on a forum and say something so bad to people they won't even allow him to read their threads anymore. I know they won't let you say negative stuff about their products but damn I didn't think they would permanently remove you!Quote:

I would check that thread out but I was banned from the Lounge. I can't even go on the Lounge just to read that thread as a non member.

Thanks for the link but I've never been a big fan of the Emotiva forums. I was hoping this would be a thread where we can actually be honest about the products and the service, etc. I don't believe you are allowed to say anything negative about any of the products on the Emotiva forums, so to me, it's really not an honest discussion over there. Also, Andrew Robinson, the one who will review the PT-7030, used to work for www.hometheaterreview.com , and now works for Emotiva. I can't imagine that the review is going to be unbiased by any means. My god, if they'll ban their own customers for saying the wrong thing, the people that actually provide them with income, then imagine what they'll do to people that they pay.Quote:

I just pulled up both user manuals and by the looks of the back panels, the PT-7030 certainly looks like a rebadged Rotel or vice versa. Either way, Rotel is well known for quality and good sound so I'm pretty sure the Sherbourn equivalent is going to be a very nice unit.Quote:

On that thread there is a comparison of the PT-7030 and the Rotel RSP-1572. Seems the difference being the 7030 with balanced inputs and the 1572 without. If this is indeed so, Kal Rubison did do a review of the 1572. That would be an un-biased opinion of the 7030.

Well that is just so petty and vindictive. Since we are interested in some of the same topics and manufacturers, I've had occasion to read many of your posts and you've always been polite and thoughtful and restrained when trolled.

Got my stack today and will take pics as soon as I get it opened to show what accessories come with it and the packaging.

Well I read the review on the emotiva site,lot of flattering words, but not much meat. What kind of DAC's are on board? I would love to see an unbiased report before I think about changing out my Anthem MRX300.
