No, Paul, I haven't. But before I purchased the CI, I did compare it to the the Goldpoint SA-1 and ASL TI and reviewed my thoughts in the review section of this site. I picked these two to review, as both of these attenuators were of a totally different type than the CI. I like the CI a lot but I am always open to improvement. Since the praise used to describe the FT-1 could just as well describe the CI (the devil is in the details), I haven't yet gotten the impetus to send $500, spend lots of time breaking the unit in and auditioning for weeks, not something I really care to do, unless I have some indication that there will be a hearable improvement for my effort. To say "that FT-1 hasn't peaked my interest" would be a lie, I'm just looking for some positive reinforcement, in the form of a comparison.
