Review: Transparent Audio MM2 tech on Ultra IC Interconnect
Nice honest effort at providing the difference between mm1 and mm2,I thank you for the time and energy it took.I had my opus interconnects and speaker cables updated,4 total.And I can say without a doubt it is not a subtle difference and at the sa... 
Will the new C.A.T. LEGEND be the ultimate preamp?
Hi,yes I had the Ultimate mk1 then mk2 before the Legend.I do not use digital so I am a bit of a disadvantage talking about the legend linestage,but through the phono that uses the linestage it is a massive improvement in transparency,air,soundsta... 
Will the new C.A.T. LEGEND be the ultimate preamp?
Hi,the Legend does exist and I do own one and no I am not a dealer just a convergent audio lover.It is 18000.00 with phono 16000.00 sans phono.It is a major step up from the ultimate but it is cut from the same cloth,I could go own about transpare... 
Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis?
Good point,first off my room is 15x25 and the Isis throws a soundstage about twice as wide and twice as deep as a diamond.The Instruments in that soundstage are layered and seperated with much more blackness between them.It added another octave to... 
Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis?
Hi,I would like to make a comment.As for the Isis vs the Diamond it is a whole different world,It does everthing better.I could fill a page with the differences but the only thing I would not do is put the isis in a room that is say 12x20 or small... 
Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis?
Hi,I own a pair of Isis and agree with everything that was said.I drive them with a pair of CAT jl3 mk2s and cat Legend pre-amp,truley a match made in heaven.I have had them for about almost 2 years and have enjoyed every minute. Robert 
AVALON Indra ??
Hi,I own the Isis and barring some emergency I will be buried with them.They are as near to a complete speaker as you can find,I don't know much about the Indra but from what luicen told me they are a killer. Robert 
Better than a CAT?
Hi Louis and glai,I have not had the amp in my system but I heard the Lamm and Cat in the same system.The Lamm is much more polite but the cat is more dynamic and with the sig. series has superb micro and macro dynamics and air and very natural ti... 
walker proscenium
Congratulations on buying the Walker,you will hear your vinyl like you never heard the albums before.The last table you will ever buy.Lloyd and Fred great guys and the best aftersales service in audio. Robert 
Better than a CAT?
Hi,why in the world would you want to change the jl2.I looked at your system and there are other things that can be upgraded,why change the cat.It is one of the finest amps on the market.Is it the finest is debateable,slow down.Act is haste repent... 
Basis Debut Mk v or Walker or Brinkman ?
Hi,After living with the Walker for 3 months I have nothing but positive things to say about it.The first thing that strikes you after living with it for awhile is regardless of how bad the recording is or how loud or long you listen you never get... 
Can you imagine a world without vinyl?
NO,I would sell my whole system and watch HD television and movies.And probably spend more time at the gym. 
Basis Debut Mk v or Walker or Brinkman ?
I talked to Lloyd about the Jade platinum and he said that one of his tables with the Jade platinum on it was some of the finest sound he ever heard out of his table.The transparent opus cable I belive is the finest cabling on the market today,wha... 
Basis Debut Mk v or Walker or Brinkman ?
Hi,I think my floor can handle the weight of the table.That Rix rax I have is filled with sand and must weigh about 250 but the floor is pretty sturdy up their,if not the table will be in my living room.I have a smaller room next to my listening w... 
Basis Debut Mk v or Walker or Brinkman ?
Hi,I cannot say for sure how it sounds in my system yet,that will have to wait till I get it installed and listen for a bit.But don't get me wrong the basis debut mk 5 with the basis power supply and the phantom is a super set-up,if not for the wa...
