Will the new C.A.T. LEGEND be the ultimate preamp?
Talked to Ken Stevens and he is about to unveil a new all out assalt preamp called the Legend.He said it will be a bigger difference between it and the ultimate than between the jl1 and the jl3.The 4 main changes are teflon boards,dual volume conrols,black gate cap. and about 15 more pounds of damping.Any further info would be helpful.

Considering their performance and their built-in phono stages, CAT preamps have represented fairly decent value over the past 20 years. With the Legend priced at twice that of the Ultimate I'm not sure that will be case any longer. Please keep us posted as to your impressions.
Well it might be for a while, until the newest preamp/amp of the month show up. However I'm sure it will sound great and enhance your system. By the way, that's a heck of a system. I'm told that the Avalon line is exceptional by many sources.
