| CAT JL-2 amp upgrade Still using my JL-2 original version amp. Has anyone had the upgrades to this model? Are they worth the money? Has the reliability been improved? Mine blew something expensive awhile back. Thanks for any information.Suttlaw | |
| VPI TNT HRX table - what tonearms? It has been seven years since I started and ended this thread, but I am basically repeating the question. I have been using the JMW 12.5 arm with the TNT HRX version I have (different from normal in that the plinth is solid aluminum plus different... | |
| Sony SCD-777es as transport? Hi, Dgarretson, just dredging up an old post with some new questions. Who did your modifications to your 777ES and what exactly was done? Can you still use the unit as a standalone? thanks.suttlaw | |
| CAT JL-2 amp upgrade I am now using a Manley Steelhead phono preamp as my preamp and running it directly to the JL2s. Much better than my CAT SL-1 III preamp. | |

| Bookshelves & Rooms Shardorne: It sounds like you're talking about the dead/live room concept, with bookshelves behind me and barish walls behind speakers. I like that idea, but have big LP storage problems. The more of the room I can use for bookshelves (with or wit... | |
| CAT JL-2 amp upgrade Hi, Johnny. Do you remember how long it took CAT to return the amp? Do you know what they did internally to the amp for the standard upgrade, or do for the Signature? Did the changes to the amp reveal any changes necessary for the rest of your sys... | |

| Will the new C.A.T. LEGEND be the ultimate preamp? Mistake correction: no separate phono stage is what Ken Stevens told me, not no linestage. | |
| Cheap Backup Amp Needed Thanks for the ideas. I know the brand names (except for the digital amps) but not the specific models. Amps suggested from other sources: Bedini 25/25, Classe DR-3, Gryphon, Forte 4. Does anyone have any more information to help with a choice? | |
| Best amp/preamp combo for Wilson Watt puppy 5.1 C.A.T. amp and preampI'm using the Convergent Audio Technology JL-2 power amp and SL-1 Mk3 premp with my Wilsons and find the combination to be outstanding, powerful, detailed, wide soundstage, low noisefloor. I imagine the JL-2 (or new JL-3 monos... | |
| Will the new C.A.T. LEGEND be the ultimate preamp? Thanks for the information. C.A.T.'s phone number is indeed 585-359-2700. The area code had changed.I talked with Ken Stevens today and will soon be sending in my JL-2 for repair and upgrade. He said I was past the time for retubing (two-three yea... | |
| KT 88 by EAT vs 6550 I saw a website selling them for 90 pounds apiece. How much is that in dollars? | |
