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.

Thanks

The "ultimate pre-amp" will use Black Gate caps? Hmmm.

In addition to the changes decribed by Strapper211 I also heard he will use a 1:4 Jensen step-up transformer in the phono stage. Price will be 16K.

I thought black gate caps had been discontinued?
