CJ GAT Preamp VS ART 3 which one is the best?


Has anyone received and tried this preamp in the system yet? I was told that this preamp is much better than ART 3 which i find very hard to believe. I would appreciate it very much if anyone can share their experiences. Thank you very much.

Hi Frank! I was told by one insider at CJ about it as well as heard Lew's comments himself from last CES 2009. In addition, one of audio guru who used to work for Avantgarde told me the same thing when he went to his client's house to help him with the setup. His client used to own original ART but not ART 3 and owns GAT now. I myself find this fact hard to believe, but my longtime CJ dealer also told me the same thing that less is better. I mean one chassis and less tubes are much better. I guess we'll just have to wait and see as I was gonna go buy ART 3 myself if I can find one. BTW, my CJ dealer is very trustworthy and he never tries to sell more expensive stuff if not need to so I kind of believe him 80% on this.
