There is a fairly strong contingent of Audiophiles who feel the Convergent Audio Technology (CAT) Ultimate is the best tube preamplifier you can buy. Of course, high-end audio is all about personal preference, so I don’t think we could all agree that one single product is better than all others. Yet, I can think of no other preamplifier that has been more lauded in the press, and owned by more reviewers than the CAT. It is without question one of a very small handful of preamplifiers that are worthy of being called the very best. Another unique quality of the CAT preamp has been its staying power. Designer Ken Stevens has kept his preamp in the very top echelon of the category since he introduced it in 1985. No small feat. The latest incarnation is the CAT Ultimate and it continues the tradition of greatness we’ve come to expect from Convergent Audio Technology. What does the CAT sound like? Very neutral, I’d say. The piece does not have a strong tendency to either end of the tonal spectrum. It is neither bright, nor warm, offering a tonal balance that remains true to the source. Though there is no mistaking you are listening to a tube preamp, you’ll find no excessive tube coloration here, nor is there brightness or stridency that can be a common trait of the solid-state genre.
