| CAT Preamps vs Amps Hi,the legend will be out in a few months so hold tight.Ken says it is a real killer and will complement his amps,and the combination should be Nirvana. | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond and Tenor Audio OTL I am driving my Eidolon Diamonds with a pair of JL3s sigs and that would be the only way I would go if you had to upgrade,but the JL 2s are super amps.Look for weakness elsewhere in your system. | |
| CAT Preamps vs Amps Hi,let me clarify myself a bit.I thought the conrad Johnson,pass and levinson were terrible with the CAT amps,If I were forced to buy a pre with phono because Cat went out of buisness it would be the asthetix.It soundstaged better but missed on th... | |

Put a pair of CAT JL3 sigs on them and go on to the next component.I am using them on the Diamonds and there is no better match and I have tried going cheaper and wasted my time.Do not short change the speakers,they are capable of incredible perfo... | |
| CAT JL-2 Mk2 vs LAMM M1.2 ... on WP 6 or 7 With all due respect to Atma-Sphere,I had a pair for about 4 months and you could burn them in till they melt through the floor they are no match for the CAT JL3s.This is my opinion and the opinion of 2 of my audiophile buddies. | |
| CAT JL-2 Mk2 vs LAMM M1.2 ... on WP 6 or 7 I had the JL 1 sigs for about 3 years and the JL 3 sigs for about a year and a half,the difference is not subtle as a matter of fact it is huge.I have compared the CAT gear to everthing I could find Lamm,Aesthetix,Nagra,conrad jonhson,mark levinso... | |
| Virtual Dynamics Power Cords Master Series Hi Kana,I understand your point,but I am not very well versed at dealing with the inside of components so I guess I am a slave to the outboard updates,but if you can get that kind of improvement inside thats great.As for my girlfreind,she is so na... | |

| Shunyata vs. Virtual Dynamics power cords I believe dollar for dollar the virtual dynamics power cords are the best buy in pcs today.As for their new revelation power cord it blew away my nbs statement extreme and then I borrowed a top of the line elrod and compared it,a little closer but... | |
| Why are audiophiles perceived as being wackos? Wildoats you are correct some audiophiles get a certain high from a new piece of equipment,when the high wears off it is back to the drawing board.But after 30 years of doing this you realize you can chase your tail all day so I buy this very expe... | |
| Why are audiophiles perceived as being wackos? Audiophiles are percieved as wackos because we spend great sums of money to create music that can be reproduced for a lot less.What non-audiophiles do not know is the feeling of looking at your music collection and bringing any numbers of artists ... | |
