ML 32 or CJ ART for ML 33H

Koen this is a no brainer. The 32 will have the best sound and the most synergy in your system. I have heard the cj.art it is really good but not as sweet as the 32 now in a cj system I would recommend the art for synergy reaseons only. good luck you know whats the better match in your heart.

It all depends on the rest of your system. What speakers do you use? Are you looking to lean out the sound or warm it up?

Having tried a ML 32 here in my system as well as ARC REF 1, and REF2, CJ 15 and 17, CAT ultimate, BAT VK30, VK30SE, VK50SE in my system using 33H driving Aerial 10t's, The VK50SE was the clear winner and remains to this day.
I'd recommend you add it to your list to try, and good luck.
Wonderful synergy between 50SE and Levinson 33H.

I agreee with Paul. Not to take anything away from the CJ or the ML, the BAT VK50SE is an incredible preamp. It is dead quiet and tonally beautiful. I strongly suggest that you audition it if you have the chance.

i use the ml #32 with the ml #33 monoblocks. 6 months ago i upgraded from the #33h to the #33. i have been very happy with the #32 and think it has a special synergy with both the #33h and #33. the #32 is a remarkable piece of equipment; bullet-proof and beautiful sounding. i don't think it gives up anything to the tube preamps listed above IMHO.

btw, the #33 are an amazing improvement over the great-sounding #33h.
