From what I've heard, John Cale solo is better than Lou Reed solo too.

Yep, by far in my opinion. I tried getting into Lou Reed's solo stuff and ended up being pretty disappointed. In fact, off the top of my head there are only two songs from Lou Reed's solo years that I actually enjoy listening to: Walk on the Wild Side and Coney Island Baby. Everything else is just very meh.
I think John Cale doesn't really have the ability to produce hits like Reed does, but overall his album are much, much better. Same goes for his contributions with Velvet Underground. I guess Reed more easily fits the rocker stereotype that people like and come to expect from a lot of musicians.

When John Cale left TVU, it took a nosedive.

Yeah, in fact I don't know why their self-titled gets all the praise it does. It certainly is a good album, just no where, not even close to as good as the first two.
