ML 32 or CJ ART for ML 33H

adsal,
I have no doubt this new JR preamp will be special. There will always be new, good, reference-grade product. I don't really see your point in recommending something that does not yet exist.
i dont see how a person can be so rude on email, but 'lovely' on the phone... just sharing my personal experience.

yes, many. from graaf, arc, to ml, and krell with the amati. (used to be the same dealer in hk who carries all these brands)

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

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.
