Accuphase c3850 VS Cat SL1 Pre

@zawlin66 

i assume  you mean a current CAT SL1  Renaissance or Legend preamp and not a older 15yr  old model?

i've heard their current CAT SL1 Renaissance "BPX"  preamp and the CAT JL5  on Magico S5  MKII  and it was a great combo.had plenty of drive and resolution, their current stuff  is superb!  imho

Cheers
