Rfogel8's brother had the Symphonic Line RG-4's and tried the Symphonic Line Preamp. We thought the sound was very good, but the gain on the volume control was way too high. One little click from 0 and you were blasted with sound. No question the CAT is a way better preamp. Its always a good thing to have tubes somewhere in the chain. I personally think once you go all tube even the amp there is no looking back.
Best preamp for Symphonic Line RG4 MK4
Hello,
I have monoblocks SL RG4 MK4, and I use right now pre from Naim 252 with Supercap2, Naim DAC and Rockna wavequest as transport, Sonus Faber Cremona M, speaker cable is Kimber KS3033 and interconnect only Neotech 3101. When I bought Naim pre I was very happy, sound of Naim on SL it was nice, but with time something trouble me, I need more detail, more transparency, more bright. As we know Naim give a little darkness and I want to change the pre.
Please tell me best choice in this case. I just looking about CAT SL1 but I can not find this products. Also many people told me that Jadis pre can be one of the best choice.
What do you think ?
Regards
Razvan
