First post on this forum.

I've been saving my nickles and dimes and was all ready to order the 990/7125 combo this week (a bit of budget stress)and then the 970 comes out. Now I'm in a real quandry.

I don't have a need for balanced outputs but I do have a turntable (and about 1,000 vinyl discs)and like the second zone of the 990 to hook up for listening on the back patio, but a $300 savings is sweet plus the monster size of the 990, especially the 17.75 depth, is gonna be a problem in my present rack.

Guys, anyone have any thoughts/remarks that would help me make a decision in the next day or so? I'd like to place my order with Outlaw this week. Thanks in advance.
