| help me decide: VTL 7.5 or ARC Ref 3 I purchased a 7.5 Mk2 in August and use it with a CAT JL-2 Sig Mk2. It is the best combination that I have heard with my Eidolons. It is curious that the 7.5 works better with the CAT amp than the latest CAT Ultimate Mk2 does on the Eidolons. I us... | |
| CAT JL-2 amp upgrade Hello Suttlaw. I had a CAT JL-2 and concidered upgrading it to the MK2 but decided to sell it and purchase a new JL-2 Signature MK2. The cost of the upgrade of the Signature MK2 is $5000 and regular MK2 is $3000. The difference between these model... | |
| Nuforce with Stillpoints ERS fabric ERS cloth on each Nuforce amp makes a significant improvement in my system. CAT preamp and Eidolon speakers and Shunyata King Cobras on everything. | |
| Cartridge upgrade for SME 20/2A??? You were not specific about the type of sound you like such as very warm (Koetsu) or very open anc clear (Lyra). I have the same table with a Phantom arm and love the sound with a Lyra Titan. This is a very non colored sound which is very detailed... | |

| Anyone hear the new C.A.T. Legend pre at the CES? No, I spoke with Galen Carol of TX. Website is gcaudio.com. I am going to audition a new VTL phono stage coming out in April before I decide to sell my CAT Ultimate and move up to the Legend. I heard this VTL phono stage in the Brooks Berdan room ... | |
| Anyone hear the new C.A.T. Legend pre at the CES? I did not go to the show but I spoke with a dealer today, whom I know to be very reliable, and asked him if he heard the Legend while he was in Las Vegas and he said that it was the best sound that he heard at the show. It appears that some dealer... | |
| better tonearm for SME 20/2 My 2 cents worth - I have a 20/2 with a Phantom B-44 and a Lyra Titan . I used a Helikon on a Sota/ ET 2.5 for years and was very happy with that. But, I listened to a Titan on a SME V on a 20/2 and was amazed at sound I heard. The Titan is a more... | |
| Best AMP for Avalon Eidolon, ARC, CAT, VAC..? I also own Eidolons and use a CAT Ultimate MKII preamp and a CAT JL-2 MKII Signature amp. I was happy with my system until I evaluated a pair of NuForce 9.02 amps in my system. I did not realize that the Eidolons needed an amp with a much higher d... | |
| Compliments to Graham You should look into replacing the bearing with the newest one from Graham. It came out a few months ago for $250 and I believe that it will fit your arm. It is very simple to do and you will be amazed at the improvement. I just purchased a new Ph... | |
| New Phantom Bearing I just upgraded my Phantom with the new bearing and all I can say is wow! The improvement is just as Rgurney says it is. This is one of the most cost effective upgrades one can do. Thank you Bob Graham! | |
| CAT JL-2 amp upgrade I had a JL-2 and decided to sell it and purchase a new JL-2 Mk2 Signature. I am very happy I did as the signature version is a definite improvement over the non-Signature version. I believe that more expensive caps (black caps) are used in the Sig... | |
| SME 20/2 SME V or Triplanar VII? I just purchased an SME 20/2 with a Phantom B-44 and added a Lyra Titan cartridge. Absolutely wonderfull sound. Got it from Brooks and he set it up just perfect. Happy listening. | |
| Tube amp for Avalon Eidolon ? I have Eidolons and am using Convergent Audio Technology electronics. The sound is incredible. I have not heard a better sound from any dealer that I have been to on the west coast. I am using the new JL-2 Mk2 Signature (about 17K retail). This ne... |
