ML 32 or CJ ART for ML 33H


A very simple question: what would the Audiogon audience prefer as the best match for the Mark Levinson 33H Power Amplifier? The Mark Levinson Reference No. 32 or the Conrad-Johnson ART? The only criterion is "musicality". I listen 90% to classic and 10% jazz.

Frankly, the ProAc's have a beautiful midrange which is very warm. I think the CJ may be a bit too much. I would recommend the ML 32 or the BAT VK-50SE if you wanted tubes.

The system should sound great with either of them.
Hi,
I have the EXACT setup. ART II with a pair of 33H I DID try the 32, but prefer the ART. 32 sounded fine. Very solid, but for musicality, the ART beats it hands down. see my setup at www.lam.ws
my choice is different than yours.why not lamms new reference pre-amp or vacs reference signature????
adsal, your post was intended for?
anyway, VAC... no thanks. very snobby people, I don't like dealing with them. I wrote and ask for more info on the ref sig, and all I got was 'people who are willing to pay this price do not usually ask for any technical details'. I was not even asking for technicaly details, i just wanted to know the size, weight etc. after that, I wont bother with VAC product. and it looks gaudy.

lamm i heard is excellent, unfortunaly, the local dealer does not have any in stock. (they never seem to). so it's unfortunate i have to leave lamm out of my selection.

and besides, everyon's choice is different. art sounds very good to my ears and i got it at a very good deal.
