Supratek Cabernet : really at the top ?
I am wondering if, as some people here say, the Cabernet is really a competitor for the "best preamp of the world". Do you think it can competes with ARC REF3, CJ ACT2, etc. ? Of course it looks better, of course it's nice that it's done by only one man and it costs twice less. But is it really one of the very best (cost no object) ?
Also a question. It has output transformers but I have seen somewhere that it is directly coupled. Isn't there a contradition here ?
Thanks and regards.
