| CAT Amp Power Tube Options... Jafox,What sonic tradeoffs do you perceive using the Svet Winged C's instead of the stock power tubes? Have you had them long enough to determine whether they really offer greater longevity than the stock tubes?thanks | |
| Will the new C.A.T. LEGEND be the ultimate preamp? I thought black gate caps had been discontinued? | |
| certin speaker makers harder to get dissounts fro In response to Macrojack, could people chime in with their knowledge of which manufacturers offer direct home trial? So far, I'm only aware of Soundlabs and CAT. In each case, freight is the responsibility of the customer of course. I believe CAT ... | |
| Is the Reimyo CDP777 Being Discontinued? There is a 6 moons reviewer who demonstrated the unique sonic value of the Reimyo transport mechanism by connecting other DACs to the CDP-777 via the digital output. So the fundamental question is: why discontinue such a great transport when there... | |
| EMM Labs vs. Esoteric X-01 Thanks, keep us posted. | |
| Anyone have exp with Ascendo System M speakers? Lisanedan, what version of the CAT JL-2 are you using to drive the Ascendo M speakers? There is a "Mark II" version and a "Signature Mark II" version, as well as the original "plain" JL-2. Thanks. | |
| Anyone have exp with Ascendo System M speakers? Henryhk,The Ascendo System M-S speakers sounded wonderful at CES '06, and that was under show conditions. I bought a pair but haven't taken delivery yet. From what I heard at CES, I think Lisanedan is probably on the mark, but feel free to contact... | |

| Canary Audio... Arthur Salvatore covers Canary (favorably) on his websitewww.high-endaudio.com>recommended components. As I recall, he or some associates made a direct comparison between it and several other amps of that type. | |

Due to this lack of options even the be... | |
| Great sounding close to back wall speakers. The materials and kind of wall construction will be crucial to making this work in my experience, regardless of speaker. You need to avoid unwanted vibrations from the wall itself that will muddy or enervate the sound. A modest wall treatment migh... | |
| Any member feedback from C.E.S. 2006? Honest1:The Ascendo room you are refering to had two M-s speakers, two Cat JL-3 Signature monoblocks, a CAT SL-1 Ultimate Mark II preamp, Reimyo CDP and VR Revelation cables. The Ascendo designer Jurgen Scheuring (sp?) was there the whole time and... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective Teajay, who is the manufacturer of the ML-31.5 that you mentioned? thnks | |
| My CES/T.H.E. Show impressions The strip has been rebuilt as a Euroland Disney park except for the slot machines. Someone could make a lot of money by marketing nostalgia for the original LV in the form of a new theme hotel called Ratpacker. It could have its own reproduction o... | |
| Jadis JPS2 vs ARC REF 3 vs Aesthetics Calisto Sig John,That is very good advice. Still, I bet lots of people besides me want to know whether you have any general comments about the respective characteristics of the Aesthetix and CAT preamps! ;-)Would it be fair to assume that you had so many vari... |
