Thanks - we can easily spot two more coupling Teflon capacitors and a few ones in the power supply.

It would be great to know what was the system used in this review - probably his current Sasha / Watchdog system, Nordost Odin cabled ...

HiFi+ just awarded the CJ GAT 2 as Preamp of the Year. They say in the few paragraphs it had "more than 100 changes to the circuit design and component roll-out"...?

Well they sure did! Roy Gregory was also incredibly enthused, and he kindly offered me some personal insights as well. Add that to Big Dog RJ and a few others who have had nothing but strong positives in the GAT 1 v GAT 2...guess that's on the list then.

Hey Lloyd

As you and I know well, best is what the GAT is, imo. It sounds superb with tube or ss.

I think I have to upgrade to series2 in the new year

The toughest part is probably having to go without it for a while...

Go for it! The really great thing about CJ is that this upgrade will be around as long as CJ is around...i really respect that about them. Its certainly rising to the top of the Audio List for us...

Did they carry a direct comparison with the K10 and wrote specifically on it?

As Floyd mentioned, two months away from the system might be too much to bear. Especially since I moved my ss pre along.
