Ph.D. or Cat SL 1

I have a CAT SL-1 (finally fixed) :). Rogue M-150's, Magnepan 3.6r, VPI TNT 3 with JMW 10 arm and Benz H2 cartridge. I have been thinking about swapping the CAT (which is an original with serial number in the 2000's...for the Sutherland Ph.D. Anything I should know?

I hesitate to move away from tube into non-tube of any kind... no one sells the Ph.D. in my area...so I can't demo one.

Any input :)

I am using a PHD with a Sumiko Celebation cartridge, BAT 5SE pre, Walcott 220's, Sound Labs M-2's- wonderful! Can't comment on the CAT. Acoustic Sounds sells the PHD with a 30 day return policy.

I owned the PHD for a month. Had a CAT SLI-MK2 on loan. No contest, CAT without a doubt.

You know reb...I had a feeling a CAt owner would say that...(in a good way)!

Reb...do you think that the SL-1 MKII might be hugely better than the original SL-1..??
