Hi DOJ,

Wow - I think this is my first post here. Let us know how you like the 990 with the MPS-1. If I were going to buy new electronics today, that's what I'd do. I think getting a top notch amp is important, and I havent heard a discouraging word about the MPS-1. I want the pre/pro to sound good as a minimum, which the Emo UL does, but for another few hundred the 990 has a great feature set. With that, I dont think I'd need to spend the extra cash on the big dog pre/pro.
