CAT amp/preamp & Sonus Faber Stradivari

I belive one of the Branimir's friends uses this combination. You have o ask him.

sounds good.

Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that I extensively evaluated the Strads with my SLI/JL2 combination as I used to be a huge Sonus Faber fan (still am I guess!) having owned Guarneris and Amators. However, while the Strads were good, I did not find them to have sufficient transparency and micro-dynamics. I have subsequently purchased Ascendo System M which I find to be significantly better in every way. See my comments about them in their discussion threads. Hope this helps!

So, Lisanedan, your opinion is that the Amatis are better than Strads?
