@djones51, yeah I have a line on a good price for an avm60. I just wonder if it will sound "better" than my Marantz 8805. I know the room correction is far superior, but I will be moving in 2 months. So, not sure I want to hook it up, calibrate for my room an then do it all again. Also, I was told by a dealer friend that the avm70 is coming...hopefully by the end of the year. So again, do I buy the avm60 at a good price and then get the 70 later? Or just wait. A friend offered to sell me his integrated, but I really don't need the two amp channels since im switching to an ati 6007 in the next few weeks.
DACs to look at?
I have been thinking of adding an Anthem STR or McIntosh 2600 to my system....but music is always going to be third on my list: movies and gaming will always be first. I realized that's a lot of money to spend. I currently use a BS Node 2i, running RCA to a Marantz 8805, which is connected to a Krell amp. In the next month, I'll be switching to an ATI 7 channel, and might eventually go to Anthem for processing. But, I'm looking to make my 2 channel just sound "better." I like the BS, but I'm never wowed w/ the sound from music. It sounds really good, but I've heard friends w/ my same speakers (JTR 212RT) say music is jaw dropping for them. I'm just curious if there's some DACs I should look at? Ive been reading about Schitt, they seem to make some good stuff. Ideally, I'll connect the DAC to the BS and use the Node for its OS and streaming....and I'm assuming an upgraded/better DAC will make everything sound louder/cleaner/etc.
