Does anyone here have an opinion on the H-CAT preamp? 
World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above?
In my case I would have to make the purchase blind .So I decided to strike Hegel from my list. There are many good choices in that range which are well made and retain decent resale value. I never even heard of Hegel till a few weeks ago so I th... 
World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above?

B&W 803D vs 803Di
If the old "D" series and the new diamond series sound the same or almost the same to you there is something very wrong with the setup. I have owned both and listened to both at a dealer. The new diamonds are vastly siperior. I even thought the 80...
