mbl classic line
Congrats on your new equipment. Sometime in the future you may want to consider the newer Gallo 3.5 speakers. My hunch is they would go quite nicely with your mbl electronics.

"I wish people would come out sometimes and say, "It sucks". That would make this hobby much more simple."Well, there are quite a few vinyl advocates that say digital sucks so there is one example for you. Simpler now?

Interesting interview with MBL. If you go down in the interview you can get MBL's take on tubes and still further down on vinyl playback. They do not believe that tubes or vinyl provide the most consistent playback. http://www.monoandstereo.com/20...

Short Gallo 3.5 review
I have not tried disconnecting the OPT and listening without it. I am already in love with the way they sound and really don't feel like experimenting. 
Short Gallo 3.5 review
