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.
