Power Amp advice

I use this Mark 326s preamp with 201 power
amp

Well, mixing oil with water was never successful.
I would recommend to go for Corus Rowland Preamp instead of the 625.

I use Parasound JC1's with a ML 326. Fantastic combination.

Of those you listed the only one I'd consider would be the Ayre, but I'd still choose my JC1's over it.

What speakers are you driving? What source components do you use? What sort of music do you like and at what volume? What are the dimensions of your room? It's pretty hard to suggest equipment without knowing those parameters.

Lloydelee, the ML 532H is a current product and a good one. I heard one driving Revel Salon 2s about a year ago when I was looking at those speakers (which I eventually bought). It was quite good in the mids. At the time I chose a Plinius SB-301 over it, as I found that the Plinius provided more dynamics and a more powerful, propulsive bass better suiting my listening tastes. But I might have opted for the 532H if the majority of my listening was say acoustic, chorale or small jazz combo music.

i used to listen to pop & vocal. My source is metronome cd4 speaker is westlake lc4.75. Room is around 100 sq ft. So,small size is preferred. tks.

P59T - thanks for that...good to know. Not much ML here unfortunately so have not remained current with their models. I have heard good things about their latest stuff.

Maybe its me, but there seems to be so much more high-end boutique equipment out there now. I remember a time when (i was not in high end but just reading about it in college)...and all i read about was Krell, ML, ARC, CJ and Pass Labs. Plus exotics like Audio Note, Goldmund, FM Acoustics. Now its all those plus BA Labs, Constellation, CH Precision, TAD, Audio Analogue, Dartzeel, MBL, Berning, Ypsilon, Concert Fidelity, Stahl-Tek, and the list goes on...and on.

Hard to keep up! But a lot of fun to have those options too!
