That thing is OLD -- you can get a deck for $250 now that will sound twice as good and have 25 times the voltage (7909 had 10,000 ohms impedance) -- now you know why I detest Alpine.

^^^ I agree. Technology changes, and went pretty far since 1988 as far as DAC's etc are concerned. It is legendary, cause it was ahead of its time when it came out, and was excellent for years to come, but now I presume, components are upgraded to newer designs which may very well be waaay better. I would go with latest Denon, Clarion, Sony "legends", which are 5-10 yrs old at best. And I hope you will be running a processor, cause these decks are light on features.
