Diesel, I have recently acquired a 31.5 which I am playing through a Pass Labs D-1 D/A, Pass Labs X-1 preamp and X350 amp to Avalon Eidolons. Before this I was using a ML37 with the same set-up. I can tell you that the 31.5 is outstanding in this system and I clearly heard greater "smoothness" when compared to the ML37. I am very, very satisfied with the Pass D-1 D/A also. You can buy a 31.5 for $4500 or so here, used in perfect shape. I bought mine for $4600 and was happy at that. Dealers will want $5100 or so for demos. I don't see any point in spending more, considering the engineering behind this unit. Transports and D/A's are probably the best thing ML does. With this setup I saw no need dto migrate to SACD at this time. Best Regards, Duncan467@attglobal.net
Goldmund 36 vs ML 31.5 vs CEC TL1X
I'm looking for a reference transport to go with my reference Mark Levinson 30.5 dac. What i'm looking for that is extremely smooth. A transport that sounds closer to analog than digital. I have heard great things about all three of these transports. Has anybody had any experience with them? Thanks in advance.
