Conrad Johnson MV60SE vs. Audio Research VS55

Yes, I have compared the VS55 against the MV60SE and the CJ won hands down. The CJ was more open, faster, transparent so I bought it. My pre-amp is a Audio Research SP16, so the obvious choice should have been either a VS55 or a VS110, I tried both against the MV60SE and as they say...I put my money where my mouth is.

I have just completed an evaluation between the ARC VS110 and the CJ MV60SE and there is no contest. The CJ wins hands down in my ears. The CJ is more open, better soundstage, tighter bass, fuller midrange. As to the VS55 and the VS110 of which I have tried both, they are woolly in the bass, the soundstage is ill defined and lacking.
Save your money and buy the CJ....brilliant.
