1993 Component of the Year
Convergent Audio Technology SL-1 Signature preamplifier
1993 was a strong year for both innovation and good sound. Every contender was unbelievably strong. Yet it was the mighty C.A.T. preamp that nosed ahead of the others to get the ultimate crown. Kudos to its designer, Ken Stevens. We can't wait to hear his long-awaited power amplifier.
