P-965
Tuner / Preamp / Processor
Our first Newcastle tuner/preamp/processor, the AVP-9080,
garnered praise from the audio cognoscenti. Lawrence Johnson, Michael Fremer,
Richard Hardesty, Jeff Cherun, Lawrence Ullman and Danny Kumin all sang its
praise. Some said they would buy it. Some even did. Our P-965 improves upon
the AVP in nearly every way. Crafted from the finest hand-selected components
and designed by passionate audio engineers, its impressive decoding capabilities
include virtually all of todays best technologies including: DTS-ES Discrete
and Matrix; DTS 96/24, Dolby Digital EX and Pro Logic IIx; and Dolby Headphone
to name only a few. With a built-in phono section, the ability to Re-Master
CD sound to 192 kHz/24-bit, advanced Room-2 functionality; three wide-bandwidth
component video inputs for switching Hi Def TV and two remote controls, the
P-965 has the capability to satisfy today’s most
ardent and advanced audiophile. And with the P-965’s “User Upgradability,”
it’s
probably one of the few pre-pro’s available today that will still be
called “Advanced” in a decade. When Widescreen Review tested its
predecessor, our AVP-9080, they said it,“easily equals or betters the
performance of anything anywhere near its price range.” Expect nothing
less from the P-965.
