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.
