Watt/Puppy 6.0 vs Amati Homage vs Andra
I have heard all 3 speakers, and I now have the Amati.Andra are very difficult to 'drive'. Unless you have the best amps available, the Andra might sound thin and weak. With proper amplification though, they sound quiet good, but there seems to be... 
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... 
Amati owners?
tried. prefer TACT. 
Amati owners?
adsal,i too have my fair share of speakers.i am quite lucky to live in Hong Kong. the amount of equip we can audition within walking distance is quite shocking. yes i have listened to the musica. and no, they did not help the problem i think the a... 
Is TACT RCS 2.0 truly transparent
thanks plsl, that was great.so far, i certainly feel that the adv of the TACT outweighs the disadv. 
Amati owners?
Hi adsal and twinstick! glad to meet you both.Like twinstick mentioned, I find the Amati very much on the thin side too. I finally had it professionally measured (speakers in room freq response) and found that there is a huge suckout region from 1... 
ML 32 or CJ ART for ML 33H
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 te... 
Is TACT RCS 2.0 truly transparent
Thanks. I do have a TACT and enjoyed it a LOT. I am asking because many 'audiophiles' I have talked to, rejected the idea of placing a device such as TACT in the signal path, claiming that it degrades the signal. But clearly, to my ears, they do m... 
"more forgiving speakers"
'more forgiving' is possibly a nice way to say that the speakers are not very 'revealing' and has a voice of its own to cover other problems in your signal path. 
Conrad Johnson Art MK.1 - CJ Art MK.2
ART II is more extended, at both ends. 
CJ ART vs. ML Ref 32 vs. Boulder 1012
The magic about the ART (now ART II) is that it seems to match so well with most amps. I have listened to most reference grade preamp, and ended up with the ART connected to the 33H. (www.lam.ws) 
HALCRO Amplifiers
I heard a pair in Hong Kong's dealer showroom (the dm68) and they are truly very very good. They were driving a pair of Revel Studio, and the Studio never sounded better. Even seems to sound better then 33 driving them. 
Sony SCD-1 as transport?
rlf,i have used my scd-1 with a ML 360s for cd playback for a while. the SCD-1, given its price, is not a bad transport. I have found that Filter 3 on the SCD-1 playing CDs sounds closest to SCD1 as transport feeding a 360s. to my ears that is. un... 
ML 32 or CJ ART for ML 33H
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
