Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which?

Yeah, I have great respect for CJ..owned a bit and loved it! I just get the sense that the company is loosing it's focus.

How about the TRON Syren?

Hi Dave

I agree with you re the cj ACT2. I had it at home and it did not do it for me. Same with the CT5. hence me going back to the ART, which is musically wonderful. I guess that is why its s/h value is more than the ACT2.
I don't think having 3 versions of a pre amp in 10 years is excessive - do you??
ARC have gone thru triple that with the ref pre.
I have heard the PH7 and it is a honey.

That is the great thing about audio, they are so many different routes to personal music satisfaction.

Hi John

Been a while.

What do you have these days, besides a ref3 pre which by all accounts is a luvely pre amp and easily ARC's best.

have you heard the PH7, sounds wonderful. me i am just a little worried about the 57.5db gain but now I have the ART with quite a bit of gain I will try the PH7 again.

You should put your system on gon.

Hi Shane,

Yeah, I guess it has been awhile. I got tired of making all of the changes so I stopped posting my system a couple years ago. It seemed that my 'System' was always obsolete. 8-)
