Current system after 25-years of buying, selling and upgrading.
I am waiting for an Ars Sonum 30 Watt integrated and I may replace the separates - looking for a simpler approach to audio - but I may not be able to let go of the CAT which is one of the best amplifiers in the world. We'll see. Happy for now, and may stop searching something different - at least for a while.
I have JL2 with Symphonic Line reference tube preamp. It sounds great. Had the SL1 Ultimate Mk2 recently at home. Both preamps did a great job, the choice would depend on personal taste and particular system. CAT sounds little fuller but Symphonic Line is faster. Phono stage is slightly better in CAT. But honestly, I think both of them might be better then Hovland........
