Joule Preamp users and other pairing with Joules power amp.


Hi- Interested in hearing about the pairing of the Preamp with the power.
I bought the Joule power amp and looking to probably pair it with the pre.
Lookking for feedback on that and other parings and how they sound.
Thanks.

Besides the Joule preamps, the other that Bobby @ Merlin often used was the CAT line, especially for the excellent phono stages built-in. One line I love that wasn't around back then is the Backert Labs preamps, which I think sound great with everything and have the clarity, rhythmic natural drive that would greatly complement your gear. Cheers,

One thing I forgot to mention is that if you are looking for the most experienced opinion on Joule & Merlin, you might reach out to Rich Brkich at Signature Sound in Liverpool, NY who worked most of the Merlin rooms at audio shows with Bobby and always featured Joule or CAT. Cheers,
