My vote would be to have a ML forum. ML does to not appear to receive as much love on AA as other brands but maybe some closet ML people will come out. I have a ML amp in my main system. Also find that their amps play real nice with an ARC Pre.
Had the pleasure of hearing their No. 52 pre and as far as solid state goes it was sweet. |

ML recent product introductions look very good and sound very nice.

I'm loving the combo of the 52 with Bricasti amps, at this point, however.

Have you ever compared the No52 to the No326? I'm interested as to how much better the 52 is than the 326. Thinking about upgrading next year....just don't want to upgrade and have them come out with its replacement 30 days later. Hahaha

The No 52 was fairly new and did not have many hours on it but I thought it sounded great. Probably the best SS pre that I have heard. For the record I am a tube pre kind of guy and have a preference to ARC. At this point in time I do not see a future without ARC as my pre. If I was to go back to SS tomorrow one of the first pre amps I would audition is the No 52. Based on my recollection I would suggest the No 52 is quite a bit better than the 326, but so is the price.

Wasn't the 523 very favorably reviewed in Stereophile somewhat recently?

If you ever mate your No 52 with a tube amp please post your experience. I personally have never heard a SS pre with a tube amp but do like a tube pre with a SS amp, which is what I currently use and am very happy with.
