Nagra VPA versus Lamm ML1.1

Anybody had the chance to compare those two tube amp ?

Which amp is more natural ? more musical ?

The Nagra to me was excellent as well, but it was not as fleshed out in the mids harmonically--just a bit towards the analytical side of the spectrum. The Lamms are about as natural sounding as they get.

I own Verity Parsifal Encores, and there is a reason the Verity people showcase them with Nagra electronics....
