It’s time for me to replace/upgrade some of the AV equipment in my living room. The plasma TV (very nice picture up until recently) has developed a line running down the middle of the screen and I’m willing to bet the repair would cost more than the TV is worth. The receiver is a very outdated but totally problem free 20 year old 50 pound Yammie RX-V3300 that will finish out the rest of its’ life providing music out in the garage. I haven’t picked out a TV yet (suggestions welcome, somewhere around 50”) but it will be 8k. I have absolutely no doubt the same things will happen with 8k as it did with 4k. As of right now, my choice for a receiver is the Marantz SR6015 simply because it’s one of the very few 8k receivers that still has 7.1 analog pre-ins so I can make use of the very good DAC in the Oppo 203 when I play my SACDs. It’s certainly possible I’ve missed other 8k receivers with 7.1 pre-ins so feel free to post suggestions. My concern with the SR6015 is that I’m fairly sure (at least when it was first released) it uses the Panasonic chips for handling 8k which were well documented trouble makers. Does anyone know for sure if the problems have been corrected, or are they still using the same chips? Has anyone had first hand experience using 8k on this receiver?
