Will the new C.A.T. LEGEND be the ultimate preamp?
A little FYI. My friend is the CAT dealer in the Chicago area and has the SL1 Ultimate preamp and JL2 amp. At some point I imagine the Legend preamp may be on hand. Anyone wanting more information, please contact me. Disclaimer: I'm a dealer for o... 
Anybody heard Reimer Teton speakers?
Kjl, I heard the Reimer Tetons at the show in the system described by Geoffkait and agree they have good bass. I can't really say I heard them at their best since one of the midrange drivers was soldered in the day before the show opened, which di... 
Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade???
Sirspeedy, I surely couldn't agree more with you about Kirk and Donna Bodinet, husband and wife team who own and do everything at SOTA. Super people, very friendly and professional, with a genuine can-do attitude. Living in the Chicago area and ha...

power amplifiers with ICEpower module
Fiddler, I heard what I heard, and you don't have to agree. But your "sooooo predictable" jab "won't hunt" as you say. I didn't say what I heard, so as not to take prisoners. You want to know what the system was? Email me. If you think expressing ... 
power amplifiers with ICEpower module
Muralman, I anticipate hearing one soon and will reserve judgment till then, but my post stands. Meanwhile, it surely seems any time ICEpower and H2O are mentioned, you are quick to wax poetic about the latter. Do you have any interest in H2O othe... 
power amplifiers with ICEpower module
Dazzdax, you described some of what others are hearing, although some report the $15k Rowland 300 series may not have these drawbacks. Other amps using the ICEpower modules have tended to lacked life, dynamics, weight and immediacy in my experienc... 
Parasound JC-1 Questions
I didn't get the Mothra power plant and tailings ponds with them, either, Bob. Of course any good dealer (can you name one?) would provide red and blue lava lamps and configure them for the left and right channels so you would know whether you are...

Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Springbok, not to worry - anyone who gets out of hand will be asked to leave. This comparison is being done in my home, and despite the mudslinging that has occurred in the past couple of days (which by the way I find distasteful and disrespectful... 
Parasound JC-1 Questions
1. No problem at all turning them on and off as needed. They sound better after about 45 minutes of playing music and are pretty much fully warmed up after 90 minutes.2. I don't know. What is the heat dissipation of a Krell? It may be possible to ...
