Wonderful receiver!
It has been wonderful owning this pre-amp for about a month now! Oodles of inputs and the YPAO is just awesome! Works beautifully with the MX-A5000. On remotes, I actually prefer its remote compared to the one of the CX-A5200 but I wish they would provide a smaller backup remote (also for zone 2).
