I have a Wadia/CAT/Dunlavy system and without reservation believe that these cords are one of the best I've tried. I hav... | |
| CAT Ultimate/Tube rolling To all,In your experience, is the CAT pre rough on tubes. One of the apparent virtues of the Sovtek is that it is a long-lasting, reliable tube.How do NOS tubes do with this preamp in terms of longevity? | |

| Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement Thank you for your suggestions Marty.I have been hearing great things about the ZYX Airy 3. Does anyone know what the price and output are. Also, based on the feedback in this thread, I plan to spend more in the 5K range for TT/Arm/Cart. | |

| Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement Jfrech,I'm running my Wadia into a CAT Ultimate MkII running into a CAT JL-2. The preamp has a phono section with ~26dB of gain. Big question is what is the minimum level of an analog rig to begin to equal the Wadia. Are we talking 10-20K investme... | |
| CAT Preamps vs Amps Jafox,Good answer. I agree that by experimenting with different brands of preamps you can attain an overall balance preferable to your tastes. In terms of a "better-match", I think Strapper211 means that their preamp is probably designed with the ... | |

| CAT Ultimate Preamp Break-in? Robertje, Thanks for you response.One thing I forgot to add in the original thread is: How does the sound change during break-in. What do you get at final break-in that is not as apparent from onset? | |
