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.

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.
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?
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.
