What happened to CAT?

I A/B compared CAT vs CJ GAT at home. At vocal and non complex music, the CAT was as good as the CJ, but when the music got complex with plenty details and nuances the CJ GAT still kept everything under control. I think the CAT got a little messy compared with the CJ.
But the CJ GAT is real high end and one of the very best preamps out there I think.

geddyen, do you remember which CAT you heard? Even though the basic design has not changed that much over the years, the newer versions, and those that have been modded or tube rolled, can sound very different to the oldest models.

The reason you don’t hear too much about CAT is that they are slowly pricing themselves out of the market. 

CAT makes a great preamp. I have heard a few and they were outstanding. 

Test pilot, unfortunately what you state applies to most high end manufacturers these days...
I actually think that CAT has held their pricing structure better than most...have you looked at the price of some of the new ss gear!
Soulution, Boulder and a few others make CAT seem like it’s given away....some of the other tube gear...Lamm and Ypsilon come to mind, same thing. 
I believe that the main reason you don’t hear too much about CAT these days is that the people that own them...a) are too busy enjoying them and b) see no need to upgrade them...after all, what would they replace them with...
