Cat SL1mkIII or Jadis JPS-2

Already having the Jadis amp/ I heard that 300b along with ALL Jadis and their Eurithmy horn system(sorry can't spell)--I'd go Jadis for the pre. Put me in you will,huh?

Both are superb products; if you listen more to rock, the CAT may be more to your liking, but for classical and acoustic jazz the Jadis is the most natural sounding equipment around, in my view. Jadis should tend to be a little less analytical, a little warmer, though a little more rolled at the frequency extremes. Good luck!

Heard CAT with my music on great system in NYC. Heard same music with JPS2. WOW! The Jadis preamp once it got warmed-up was startling in the area of dynamics and visual image cues. This however, took time to happen. (about 30 minutes)I inquired about this phenomena and was told by people that it was the tube regulated power supply that provided the magic. I have no regrets and the Jadis left the CAT behind once it did warm-up.

Thanks everyone for responding. Your input was greatly appreciated.

Anyine compared the JPS-2, with the JPS2-S (it’s the balanced only version)?
