It sounds like possibly even the CH?
This seems very unlikely. Completely different philosophies there. The pic does not show any parts manufactured later than around 1980 and lots from much earlier times.

The best SS preamp i had 30 years ago was Dennesen Gold and now CH L1with X1
The best tube i had ANJ M10 and Audiotekne 9501
But the best absolutly i had and was stupid to sell was Dissanayake Reference
Here line preamp with phono MM and external power supply for line and phono

This is a medium high quality preamp,not flagshipThanks! A new flagship perhaps?
And then someday you will have CHM10! And you will go another level up!Dissanayake was the best tube preamp listened in my life and i had and listened Kamasutra 8/10 years ago,L1X1 are a perfect match with my favorites amp M1 and don’t know if Dissanayake can be a good march with M1
Next year if all ok i will buy L10And then someday you will have CHM10! And you will go another level up!
Yes John told me the Gold version was the express demand from the Japanese Importer.I had ARC sp11,then yba,ML6B and then this Dennesen Gold by J Curl
CJ GAT 2 is also one of my favorite preamps of all time. I am most curious, Shane, what you might have heard about Jeff Fischel's latest flagship preamp, the ART88?
I think Lew & Bill have retired out of the business? That was certainly the sense I got...but no definitive insight into that.Haven't heard anything Lloyd.
I wonder if Bill or Lew had anything to so with it's development?
Going by the pretty boring looks, Lew had nothing to do with the chassis design. Reminds me of Sonic Frontiers. I don't mind the gold cover.
So I recently obtained an MSB Select DAC with two power bases. The preamp function of this DAC has been widely lauded. When I ran it thru my NAGRA HD PREAMP the sound gained body and depth of soundstage. I previously had an AESTHETIX CALLISTO ECLIPSE pre amp which was the best I had previously in my system. The Nagra HD PreAmp sounds better by far. Previous preamps included ARC Ref 3, McINtosh 500 T, and Burmester. How did it compare to using the MSB DAC Volume control?

The Atma-Sphere MP-1 was SOTA at the exact same time: direct-coupled patented balanced output, noticeably more transparent and faster than a preamp using coupling caps... fully differential and balanced from phono input to main outputs, all-tube and able to drive 600 Ohms...GAT maybe great, but the Cj ART was SOTA in its time.
