FWIW, I'm working with Matt in San Fran and he's been great to deal with. I currently have:

* Zu essence speakers
* Leben r100u pre and rs30-eq phono
* Havana dac
* rega p9/ koetsu vermillion
* Sophia Electric 300B monos
* separate ht pre-pro front end for ht usage.

Any input you can provide would e appreciated. I'm interested in learning more about why you switched, what you switched from, what your experiences are like with the O's, what you like or don't like, what's your overall opinion, etc.

Ultimately, my system does triple duty - home theater, digital streaming, and vinyl. so I need it to run the gamut.

Thanks in advance for your time and effort sharing about this!
