Anyone compared the two or have any thoughts about which is better?

Thanks

Not heard a Mind but I have heard a 25 and 25R. I have a hot rodded 25R and it is more open and nuanced with better grip than the 25. Great tactile quality to the sound with very natural expression and realism on Instruments and vocals. The 25 is a little less airy sounding and does not convey quite a s good 3D soundstage.

I used to own the Ming Da and had it modded to top spec by Response Audio in the USA. Good pre with valve mono finals but the gain was very high indeed and became a bit of a pain. Attenuators didn't' help much and reduced performance.
