JL7 Black Path Extreme Special Edition

The JL7 was designed to bring the famous CAT quality into a smaller more convenient chassis and make tube biasing much easier. The JL7 even uses the same driver tube technology as THE STATEMENT amplifier. This driver is specifically optimized for the high current KT120 tube, but also yields superior results with the venerable 6550/KT88 tube. The new JL7 delivers the famous CAT “drive anything” sound in full measure!

With triode purity, transparency, and vibrancy that surpasses even the most refined low power single ended triode amplifiers combined with brute force current delivery exceeding all other tube amps, even those rated at four times the power, the JL7 is an amplifier which will force you to reevaluate your reference standards.
