CAT tube amps was highly regarded here in Malaysia a very long time ago. I have missed them actually. Seen here is the latest CAT SL1 pre amp

I was in the Van Den Hul room, and was kinda of surprised by all the mono block amps, preamps and source electronics! My past VDH world was largely cabl;es & cartridges only

Seen here is the VDH The Emerald pre amp. A fully balanced circuit design from input to output. This is making me curious already

This looks like a yet to be named VDH CD player with wood front paneling, and Philips based RC-5 remote, which means it is very like using a Philips CD transport too

Vivid Audio Giya with CH Precision electronics this time! I am beginning to like these speakers, they have a certain sonic color & character, that prevents bland, boring sound. Yes, even when partnered as such!
