RE: VTL 5.5 Series 2

I recently auditioned the 5.5 series II wiht phono for a week. I have also auditioned the previous 5.5, the ARC LS26, ARC Ref. 3, Belles 21A with Auricap, VT-01, Aesthetix Calypso stock. Of those I liked the new VTL the best. The ARC ref 3 had more detail and air, was perhaps a bit smoother but did not have the detail at the lower end as the VTL. The new VTL bettered my current Belles in the frequency extremes, detail, quality and quantity of base as well as soundstage and top end. My belles remains very very sweet in the mid range and I can live with it easily if I had to. I am going to audition the Herron VTSP-3A latter this week but for now I think the VTL has a winner. I used in with a Classe CA-2200 amp, verity parsifal speakers, blue marble audio interconnects and nordost frey speaker. Nottingham spacedeck, shelter 501 and Naim CDX2.
