Choosing between the two is a matter of taste. Some might like to think there is an objective analysis to be made between the two brands. Others might ask "which one is closer to the absolute sound of natural instruments playing in a natural space? (Yecchh!)"I have owned Verity Audio Parsifal Encores for two years. Although I prefer the Verity "sound" to either Sonus Faber or Merlin, I wouldn't want to say the Verity was "better." I thought the Sonus Faber Electa Amator did a better job conveying the timbre, flow and beauty of the music more than the Merlin VSM (yes, with BAM), but I can already hear the howls of disagreement.
Sorry Itch, I can't steer you one way or the other. These are two different versions of the "truth".
