SET or OTL to drive Gallo 3.1's Recommendations?
Thanks for all of the comments, Riley, I got your email, but I'll keep this on the forum for the possible benefit of others facing the SET/OTL vs solid state hybrid question on a limited budget. I currently have an Odyssey Candela running a Van Al...
