Mark Levinson 336 vs Pass Labs X350?

Since both amps are similar in price & power and from respected designers I would appreciate comments, opinions & experiences from my fellow audiophiles before purchasing either amp. Associated equipment includes Thiel CS 2.3 speakers, Conrad Johnson PV 14L tube preamp & Arcam FMJ CD23 CD player. Speaker cables are Nordost Super Flatline. Interconnects are Nordost Blue Heaven. Additionally, any recommendations for upgrading the CD player would be appreciated.Many thanks.

With my Nautilus 802s the Mark Levinson is a much better match. With your Thiels it may be different, you'll need to listen to both of them in YOUR system. Make sure you demo fully broken in amps - without a proper break in period they won't sound their best.

I agree with Mmccoy regarding CD players, for the money the CD55 is tough to beat.
