CATSL1 best pre under 3K?


Is a CAT SL1 preamp the preamp to buy used under 3k or are there better

Daveyf,
Yes I agree that there are too many variables that influence what we hear. That's why no component can be declared the "best". In the end just choose what sounds better to you for your particular circumstances. The great point is we only have to satisfy ourselves.
Charles,
The CAT SL1 is an awesome preamp and represents great value especially when you factor in the outstanding onboard phono section.
I had the CAT ultimate in the past and found it very forward or upfront sounding. I grew tired of it as I could never quite get relaxed with it.
Jwm, what gear were you pairing the CAT with? I have never heard any CAT preamp sound forward or upfront sounding...
