Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp?

Way too much jabbering.......upgrade the capacitors in your speaker's crossovers, and be done with it.

Hi Dale

Is this in addition to or instead of new electronics?
What caps do you recommend?

Roger

Dale, I tried the caps when I was 12. now 55 years later i have moved on to other improvements.

dear ddraudt,
may i ask what pre & power amp were you using before you have heard the H-Cat mark III amp and preamp together with HFC products? did you have the HFC cables connected to your earlier audio system too? hope you can relate some of your experience with us. Any info is appreciated, Thanks!

Hi philipwu, I have had HFC for a while. The cables I had with the last amp were. 2 Pro power cords, 2 URH power cords, one Pro ic, one set UR speaker cables. I have 9 Star Sound platforms and tons of their brass. I have one Schumann Generator but have ordered a second.
My speakers are custom built and my equipment is severely modified so the names would not help. I have much room tuning, a 2x DSD source being upgraded to 4x DSD.
I am fortunate to have heard the changes in Norms system over the past few years also to help me analyze.
The Sound of the new amp is mesmerizing!! More realistic than I could imagine, Soundstage wider and deeper than ever. Mk III redefines quiet, re invents image solidity, overflows with musicality, involvement, micro detail and pure enjoyment. It's very hard to stop listening!!
Cheers D

hi ddraudt ,
are you suggesting this H-Cat amp excel in all areas of music? did you find any lacking which you may had heard compared with other amps?
 i'm seriously considering it because Roger seems to know the correlation between amplitude & time, phase in signal propagation. These are fundamentals of P.R.A.T in music which i'm more concern than timbre, distortions ect..
Thanks for any input!
