Bobby at Merlin recommends the Joule LA150 to be used with the Berning 270. He feels this combination along with his VSM-ME will produce "one of the finest systems in the country". His words, not mine.
A great full function preamp. for Berning 270 ??
I have just buy a Berning 270 amplifier to drive my Merlin VSM-M. I need a good amplifier with a wonderful phono section. This way I can use the BAM and my turntable, My budget is 3000-3500 for a used preamplifier. I have think about Hovland HP 100, Cat ultimate (may be out of budget), VAC standard. Any experience with the Berning?. Thank you very much.
