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.

Koen this is a no brainer. The 32 will have the best sound and the most synergy in your system. I have heard the cj.art it is really good but not as sweet as the 32 now in a cj system I would recommend the art for synergy reaseons only. good luck you know whats the better match in your heart.

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?

Having tried a ML 32 here in my system as well as ARC REF 1, and REF2, CJ 15 and 17, CAT ultimate, BAT VK30, VK30SE, VK50SE in my system using 33H driving Aerial 10t's, The VK50SE was the clear winner and remains to this day.
I'd recommend you add it to your list to try, and good luck.
Wonderful synergy between 50SE and Levinson 33H.
