MBL 9008A / 9011

Some people have all the luck, some people have all the money, some people have ridiculously great systems that they're still not happy with, while making everyone else so jealous and unhappy...:-(:-(:-(

Arnt m, I would sugest you refer my threads and answers and go through them you will be able to retreave allot of info. I use Stealth Audio cables, two runs of Dream to my speakers.

Here's what Teajay another member had to say about changing from his 1521a to his current 1621a transport.

System edited: Just upgraded to the MBL 1621 reference from its baby brother the 1521. I knew it was going to be better, but I'm quite surprized how much better. The sonics across the board are at least 15 to 20 precent improved, the liquidity/warmth, the microdetails/transparency, image density, and finally the low end is much more extended and powerful. It's really a great sounding piece.

It's going to come down to a personal prefference so really there is no better just different but as per my responce above I prefer driving my speakers not with MBL amps or even their pre which I owned for 2 years.

No no. One 9011 not better. It just adds amplifier sections. My second power cords are not even connected. The review in absolute sound was garbage. 9011s give you more impact with the extra amplifiers on but cause more distortion, it's audible. I tried different amps. From ARC to Halcro and to my ears 90 series sounded better. I effectively am using two 9008's without the extra amps turned on and I much prefer it. I have a pretty big room too. So unless u r a total headbanger stick with 9008's IMHO.
Cheers!
