| Sonic difference between the CAT JL2 Sig & CAT JL3 Funny guy you are, sirspeedy and Brian too. But you know something guys, I really am close. I am pretty sure that anyone out there with one of the CAT amps has a weaker link in their system than the amp. So there's little need to fuss over moving ... | |
| Review: Aesthetix Calypso Line Stage Tube preamp dmib - Please look for JD's review of the Callisto. What you have is very good ..... but ........... | |
| Sonic difference between the CAT JL2 Sig & CAT JL3 Hi Bart - I have the JL-3 Sig but the original (MK I), not the MK II. The JL-3 Sig MK II like the JL-2 Sig has many passive component updates which could lead to major improvements in midrange and treble clarity and resolution. In a recent upgrade... | |
| Vote your next American What a cool idea for a thread. Well if the latest DIY cables thread by JD, A'gon name Jadem6, is any indication as to the value of anyone to the Audiophile world, it's quite clear who gets my vote. Just read any of his A'gon component reviews and ... | |
| DIY Interconnects review Welcome back my dear neighbor. Your most informative posts have been greatly missed the last few months.I am the "bloom" guy JD mentioned. When he had the Nordost cables last year, his system was way too analytical for me. I knew something was pos... | |
| CAT Preamps vs Amps Bombaywalla - The reason my response came off as defensive was because I made an effort here to convey my observations; these descibed the strengths and weaknesses of the two preamps under test. Never did I refer to either as terrible. That (dis)h... | |
| CAT Preamps vs Amps Thank you Bombaywalla for your response. Let me addres your issues one by one. And yes, I knew my comments would get people's blood boiling.First of all, as stated before, I have not heard the Tele 6922/6DJ8 tube in the CAT. I have no doubt it wou... | |
| CAT Preamps vs Amps Hello Rayhall - I too wish we were closer. It is very exciting and educational to visit other audiophiles' home and try our gear in these other systems. I learned much from two local guys on the issues of PLCs and PCs specifically. The things that... | |
| CAT Preamps vs Amps It's interesting to see this thread have activity again. As reported elsewhere here on A'gon, earlier this year I had a CAT UII on loan for a couple months to compare to the Io/Callisto. The consensus here is that the Sovteks in the CAT must go an... | |
| Safe way to change cables with tube amp on... A agree this is not a wise thing to do for so many reasons. And putting a resistor across the amp? You plan on removing/reconnecting this resistor each and every time to swap cables on/off the amp? This only doubles the possibility of shorting the... | |
| RCA Out To AES/EBU In To DAC The Genesis Time Lens supports all the digital formats for input and the same on the output. Not only does it handle conversion from a transport to a DAC, its primary function to "realign" the datastream brings on a multitude of sonic improvements... | |
| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective Hey wait a minute, I like minty....it's the color of my walls!Surprised nobody mentioned yin(g) or yan(g) or the dreadful, continuousness.And yes, Brian, you're only allowed to lift the veil when the minister has given you permission to do so.And ... | |
| Sonic difference between the CAT JL2 Sig & CAT JL3 Wow, roaming around on the Avalon site makes me feel like a kid in a candy store. These things are works of art.Bart, there might be some value to further research the VTL 750 amps. Albert Porter has had these for a year or so, and after much tube... | |
