What happened to CAT?

Hey everyone,

So a couple of years ago I heard a CAT setup at the Magico demo room. I know their amps were super expensive, but I thought about looking up the pre-amps. Seem to have vanished as a manufacturer.

I'm wondering if anyone has a scoop? Like did the designer go away, start another brand?

Thanks,

I A/B compared CAT vs CJ GAT at home. At vocal and non complex music, the CAT was as good as the CJ, but when the music got complex with plenty details and nuances the CJ GAT still kept everything under control. I think the CAT got a little messy compared with the CJ.
But the CJ GAT is real high end and one of the very best preamps out there I think.
