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

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.

cheers Shane

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-)

PS: I'll PM you with the latest boring details.

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.

I recall FM Acoustics now...it's a swiss boutique manufacturer catering to the exclusive "money is no object/sound is second" club.

Hardly. It's a pro equip manufacturer, it's not priced over all others, and the sound quality is superb. Nice quote however.
Likewise, atma's pre is also superb sounding, and the latest CAT is also nice.
Many nice products out there -- to little money.

Shane,
Which CJ Art do you have? What do you like about the ART that the ACT lacks? Bob
