ARC REF II mkI vs. BAT VK-51se
Have listened to both the early AR Ref one preamp and AR the Ref two.compared to the VK-51SE i can say with much confidence that the VK51SE is much better in every aspect.the first thing you will notice is the transparancy which is really in a dif... 
CAT SL1 - is there enough GAIN using 0.4mV mc??
Have had a CAT Signature MK3 for a looong time, at that time i partnered it with a grashopper 3 of 0,65 Mv.the Volume sat around 10 to 11 oclock, in which the tubes just started to 'whisper'.depending on the sensitivity of the poweramp used, i got...

O mind you I got brand new Genesis 501 speakers which are relatively easy on amps since the bass is servo driven.kind regards and keep the vinyl spinning.

Review of Monster Cable Sigma 2000 Speaker Cables?
Hello atzen, although the Sigma is a cable from the ancient past in nowadays 'cable of the week' society, i strongly recommend it still.I have been using my Sigma throughout my system for years, and still wondering why i should upgrade to other ca...

Just my two cents:I use a Cello Encore with RMC phono unit, the RMC on its turn fed by the Palette powersupply.After spending my Analog life with the CAT Signature over some 9 years the Cello really washed my ears and brought music and life to my ...

If you would fully understand the PLatine's magnetic bearing, there would be no guess about grounding and tolerances.The Platine does have a ball bearing on top of the spindle, this is not to support the platter, but to eliminate the possible acou...

Yes Cat has good enough gain to cope with 0.5Mv, but input sensitivity of your poweramp has a great deal to do. 
"Fast sounding tube amp" with plenty of power? any?
And again: Atma-Sphere MA-2 OTL's, way to go !
