  Can any preamp be better than the final H-Cat?
I have had the final production version for two weeks now. I loved the first one I had and thought it out-imaged anything I ever had, while having neither a tube or ss sound. Then I got the new one. I was unprepared for how much better it was. There is a sonic hologram before me with realism I have never heard or even approached before. Roger Paul tells me that it will be weeks before it is at its best. Lookout for another even more rave review. In 28 years of audio experimentation, I have never heard more of an improvement by adding one component.

01-10-06: Tbg
Zachzdb, I still find no other line stage that I find better than the H-Cat. At CES Cerious Technologies presented their new speakers and were using the H-Cat. The sound was very realistic in presenting the depth and width of the sound stage as well as in having a clean leading edge. I suspect that both the resonance control in the speakers and the qualities of the H-Cat contributed to this.

I do wish that Roger Paul got his delivery time down as I expect some are put off by the long delays in delivery. I look forward to finally getting my H-Cat amp very soon.
