Mapman, Joe Cohen of Lotus Group, who is a dealer for H-Cat, had the prototype of the H-Cat amp but had an AM station coming through that was volume sensitive so he will probably have the line stage but will not have the amp. Roger cannot afford t...

Audiofool, I am sorry that you have never listened to any H-Cat product and never followed through on seeking to become a dealer. I really don't understand your mindless criticisms for something you haven't heard and apparently don't want to hear,...

Carlos, I know there have been many attempts to "enhance" imagining. IMHO all are disasters and there are none in my system.Also while I find power cords to be quite important with some being outstanding, IMHO I cannot stand any ac isolation trans...

Carlos269, when you are on the right spot, it does sound louder. It is not placebo. I have had six different people here who always got to the same value while I changed the WTC. What you hear is a place where the soundstage suddenly becomes vivid...

Atmasphere, while I understand what you are saying, my concern is with the sound not the explanation. As I have said, I didn't buy the line stage until I heard it. I did buy the amp before hearing it and did wait a long time for it to satisfy Roge...

Carlos269, have you ever heard an instance where are product is well defended in terms of theory or science? Since most merely revise old circuits with better parts or bells and whistles, what can they say? 
Holographic imaging
Carlos269, one of my undergraduate majors was Physics, but my Ph.D. is in political science. I would urge you to listen to the H-Cat if you have a chance and would welcome you were you to come by.Roger is very sincere guy and has come about a circ...

Apart from Audiofool's usual nonsense, the key issue here is explanations for why some components sound better than others. Electrical engineering has some concepts that can be used in such explanations based on age old science. In science our und...

Goldeneraguy, Roger's design is in my opinion far superior to anything I have ever heard. I don't teach students what audio to buy but rather teach what research shows. I am not in the science of amplifier circuits and know none posting here are e...

Goldeneraguy, I reread Detlof's and Atmasphere's last posts, I didn't miss what they were saying. I know of nine others who are thrilled with their H-Cat line stages. I know of two others who have heard the H-Cat amp, both dealers, who love it and...

So, Atmasphere, all you need is bandwidth?Detlof, forgive me if I laugh, you think every decently designed equipment sounds the same? If not what is the difference? Also, please tell me how you know "decently designed equipment?" Do you look at it...

Dazzdax, I am sorry my comment subverted your thread. I had no idea this would happen.Detlof, I don't share your opinion about you is being logical and who is not. 
Holographic imaging
Detlof, it is perhaps rashly a dead horse. You chose the words you used, so I perhaps inferred what you said. Roger is painted too broadly with the brush of not explaining what he has come up with and others have not adequately explained, even usi... 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
Thank God, I never reached this conclusion. I was satisfied for five years with ARC and Infinity ServoStats and for three years with Beauhorns. Most stuff, however, has a shorter life-span. 
Holographic imaging
Detlof, save for your committment to "current scientific terms," I cannot help but agree that listening yourself is the only real way to tell. We don't really know whether Ralph has a handle on what is best in design or whether he is hidebound by ...
