C-J confusion.

What is the current SOTA C-J preamp? Is it the ART III or the Act 2 Mk2?

As I said I own an ART and it has no tube rush issues. I have never read fromj any owner indicating noise issues. If you want tube rush noise, try a VTL 7.5 and mate it with ant amp with more than 28db gain. Then you will here tube rush. cheers

Buy a s/h ART 1 or 2 if you can find one - they sound superb and much better than the ACT2.

Audiolui I have used the ACT2 and CT5 and the prem16 was more musical and connected you closer to the music. The ACT2/CT5 does most of the hifi things well, nice tight bass and extended treble, however I just could not connect with it emotionally. The ART is sublime :-)
