  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.

Ozzy, my best pointer is to be patient. I know guys who raved about it from the very beginning. I now know that it will be much better next week, etc. Also, turn the display off, setting 1 (automatic). I started at -17 on the WTC and have moved up to -3 now. Listen for the best bass when setting the WTC.
