Remember when we had the H-Cat demo at Roy's house when he put the towels over the tweeters and used an 8 resistor in lieu of the 1ohm recco by Maggie. Loves the last row in the concert hall. Hey to each their own. The look on the presenters face when he was told that the preamp was to put with that system. Priceless.
Towels ? Towels? You want me to demo with TOWELS !
The best part was when Mike Lobosco put a paper clip in place of the resistor without anyones knowledge. Mike was beside himself knowing the deal as Roy was clueless as to the change. Roy said it sounded VG.
Needless to say, the towels were removed after pressure from the attendees and demonstrator. the H-cat was a clear window into the event. Just wonderfull. An excellent preamp. No complaints and we tried to find some. Truly a straight wire with gain in our opinion. The H-Cat amp however was a bit Hi Fi and sterile sounding compared to the tubed amps.
Remember Roy's last meeting with both the Maggies and Quads playing at the same time. He is a devil. no one realized that two pairs were being used. He fooled us again . Gotta love it. Wonder what Jim and Roy have in store for us next meeting. Should be interesting.
