All ARC vs All Pass Labs vs All CJ system compare

Has any body compared a complete analog set from each of the manufactures?

Have they all ended up evolving to the same sound profile

clear, noise free, detailed, wide soundstages ?

I have a friend with an all ARC and my bet is the sound profiles/house are very close

just wondering , so many options , so little time, not enough money

The CAV 45 S1/S2, is very nice, could use a measure more Current and Power. Happy Listening!
