Unfortunately my budget's already stretched to the limit, especially since I haven't even bought a source yet (likely to be a stock Squeezebox 3 for at least a few months, then maybe add a budget DAC and/or mod the Squeezebox next year).
Also, like I said earlier, this is my first high-end system. My current receiver is one of those 5.1 receivers that had bleeding edge features at the time for under $400, which means its power is likely overrated and it's probably filled with junk parts, plus it's matched with a budget sat/sub system. I'm pretty sure that the Odyssey system, even with the "entry level" preamp, is gonna blow that out of the water and make me very happy for many months if not longer!
Plus, I know so very little about this stuff! I didn't "get smart" about audiophile 2-channel technology as much as I would have liked before buying - just just got carried away by all the good buzz on Odyssey, especially the "budget" system, got a good feeling about the company and frankly just liked the way it looked to be honest, and ended up pulling the trigger before doing as much research as I had planned. So before I go throwing more dollars at this stuff, I figure I should probably learn a LOT more about the technology.
