| which non ARC poweramp do you use with ARC REF 3 CAT JL-3 Mk II monoblocks. Even Ken Stevens of CAT thinks this is a good combo. This pair will likely drive any speaker as loudly as you wish, neutrally, with triode naturalness, and remote control. | |
| What are the Best FM tuners? I've had an Accuphase T-1000 for about 3 months. I've previously used a Luxman T-117, a Luxman T-12, and a Marantz 20B. The Accuphase is in an entirely different league. Believe me when I say it actually sounds better than my Levinson 390s cd play... | |
| Acoustic Signature Turntables I can't believe this thread! I paid Gunther directly several hundred dollars through PayPal (so it's traceable) early 2007 for a second armboard and a record clamp for my Final Tool. He conversed with Thom Mackris briefly about making sure the new... | |
| Cat JL2 with blown board. Advice needed I would recommend one tip to all CAT owners when replacing resistors which I have found very useful. You cannot lay the amp directly on its back end on the floor because of concerns about damaging the on/off switch and fuse holder. I have found a ... | |
| Cat JL2 with blown board. Advice needed I have had a pair of JL-3 Mk II sig's for 3 years, and I have just blown my second resistor in 2 months. That said, I have in the past gone over a year without blowing one. The resistors are fairly straightforward to fix with a solder gun (and a g... | |
| Mark Levinson No.512 CD Player---Opinions Anyone know how the CD performance of the 512 stacks up against the 390S? | |
| Anyone have experience with Kaleidescape? Thanks, guys. | |
| Who Do You Credit For Getting You Into This Hobby? At a high school house party in 1976, a guy brought his speakers, turntable, and Dynaco kit tube amps to provide music. I was immediately bowled over by the sound, and I've been hooked ever since. | |
| How many pair of speakers do you own? 5 pairs, 3 electrostatics, 2 of the electrostatics backups in garage | |
| ARC Ref 3 with CAT JL2 or do you need CAT SL1 I use an ARC Ref 3 with CAT JL-3 Signature Mono's. I like the combination very much. They produce prodigous bass from full-range electrostatic speakers. They are are extremely hard on tubes, but I have not had any reliability issues. | |
| Sonic difference between the CAT JL2 Sig & CAT JL3 Bart, FWIW, I've been driving my JL-3 Sig's with an ARC Ref 3 for about a month, and I consider the match to be pure heaven. Earlier tried a C-J Act2, but I greatly prefer the Ref 3 with these amps. | |
| Broken CAT I am presently using an ARC Ref 3 with JL-3's, and I'm extremely pleased. | |

| Best preamp is no preamp: always true? For what it's worth, I've found my Levinson 390S running directly into my CAT JL-3's to sound much better without my ARC Ref 2 Mk II. Of course, the 390S DOES have the same analog volume control found in Levinson preamps. | |
| New tube amp for ML Prodigy CAT, VTL, ARC???? I used to drive Acoustat 2+2's with VTM200's, and they did a very credible job. They do not have the solid lower bass or overall authority of the CAT's, but they are very nice amps. They do tend to be heavily influenced by cable choice. |
