Copland CTA301 mkII vs. Copland CTA 305 anyone?


Wanted to know what the sonic difference was between these 2 preamps. I own the cta 301 mkII and consider it a 'giant killer'. Detailed, transparent, smooth, huge soundstage, etc..... it just offers incedible bang for the buck. Is the new Copland cta 305 better, worse?
Thanks guys

I had the CSA(?)303 and it is a great pre. I do now have a 305 after having a Hovland HP 100 and find that it is keeping in the pedigree. The only thing is the trade-off of having remote control but not having a balance control. With my 303 I could get the vocals more focused. I would have to say keep your 301 unless you can get a smokin deal on a 305 and you really want the remote control.
Hi, Jwmazur. You had a Hovland before the 305? How did you find they compared? Thanks
