Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp?

philipwu, I'm glad you tried the MkIII amp. I would strongly recommend that you also get the preamp, although presently it is being done on old chassis. I got the X-10 preamp first and compared it with my old X-9 version. The X-10 is clearly better. I had it when I got the X-10 MkIII amp. I did have my old X-9 amp with which to compare the X-10 MkIII. That was an eye opening experience.

I don't post much here any longer given the antics of Mapman and Geoffkait. I have long been a proponent of Roger Paul's electronic since about the time that Anna Logg gave the preamp a "Golden Ear Award" in The Absolute Sound where in the next Recommended Products, the H-cat wasn't mentioned. I think this bespeaks the influence of advertisers.

I have repeatedly been surprised that Roger's stuff has not taken off, but I was very happy that I had both a preamp and amp around to merely have upgraded. I know at least three guys in China with the preamp and maybe the amps and have been seeking them to tell them of the new products.

Philip, I was re reading xaviercg's post from page one before the troll attack. Now that I have the amp with a few hundred hours on it I can say that I agree with his assessment.
I look forward to your report after 200 hours...(if)..

Roger gave me local dealer (~100 miles away) contact to demo  H-Cat amp and pre.  Contacted dealer several months ago and he said in process of renovating sound room, should take 2 weeks but never got back to me.    Oh Well!

Knghifi, In my experience the really good stuff is often hard to get.
I think persistence is a better tac than "oh well!" Call 'em back!
It took months to get my amp and waiting is hard for me.
I could not be more thrilled with my H-cat Mk III amp now that it is here and broken in.
Cheers

Major jump in performance yesterday.
Two days ago my system was sounding the best it ever sounded.
Folks who hear it said it was hawkin ridiculous!
Yesterday I did some adjustments and got a sound worlds better than the day before! 
Have you ever had an improvement that made you want to listen to EVERYTHING you ever heard over again? This is that, in spades!
I heard new stuff yesterday on albums I've listened to for 32 years.
Soundstage like nothing I've ever heard anywhere or could ever imagine possible. I must agree with TBG and others, -- the Mk III has no equal!!
Totally Thrilled!! Thanks Roger!
