Just picked up a mint looking
SHERWOOD NEWCASTLE SURROUND SOUND RECIEVER R756 that had little use from an estate sales.

I wanted a DTS/Dolby Digital Receiver for the bedroom since I was using my Nakamichi AV-1 for movies which was a shame since it is so nice for 2 channel.

I was blown away by the sound of this Sherwood Newcastle unit even in stereo hooked up to 2 B&W 601S3's. The sound is rich pure enjoyment. Even though it does not have HDMI I would put this $100.00 unit against many modern units that cost considerably more. For the 3rd time Sherwood has shown it self to be a nice sleeper. First the nice vintage solid state 7100, then the sweet powerful Sherwood S-5000 tube amp and now this one.

Congrats on your find.:thmbsp:

I have found Sherwood to be great as well.

Found a AP-7020 Preamp and a AM-7040 Amp, NOS with 200 watts of MOSFET power. What a sound.

Still enjoying mine.

Cheers

Not a big surprise to me as the Sherwood Newcastle stuff was fairly well regarded in HT performance vs. price.
