The AVM has a mix of balanced and rca outs. I think it also has a pair of balanced inputs.
I was a little wrong. Only the D2 has balanced inputs.
The AVM also has a dedicated headphone output stage.
Down to 2 preamps
I have narrowed it down to 2 preamps. I have demoed an anthem str preamp at home and happy with it, I had demoed it because the store did not have the avm 60 or mrx 720 in stock and I wanted something close to them with arc, yes I know the str is better.
My question is I am doing 2 ch and HT in the same room. I will never go to 11.1 but I will do 5 ch and atmos. I have a 2 ch bat amp and a 3 ch b&k amp. Does the avm 60 really have any benefit over the mrx 720. I could do either one, but if I could save the extra $$$ I could put it towards something else. The audio store carries both marantz 8805 and anthem. He suggested to stay will anthem. Plus the 8805 is pricey and I think anthem is a easier setup for me. So it's the 60 or 720. Thanks for the help, Pete.
