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.
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.
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-)
If price is not a major factor, you might want to try the new CAT legend. I have not heard it, but knowing Ken Stevens work, which I highly respect, I would be amazed if it wasn't a world beater.
