Jmc:
I should correct my spelling
Brackert Labs Rhumba is the preamp
it has solid state rectification as does CJ , I think. The CJ et3 & et5 were forward and detailed in highs, et5 was much better highs ( tie to Teflon caps?)
ive listened to a Cary Sli-80 and it had tube rectifiers & was very soft( I assume that is lush?) in the high end ( but an integrated)
it was listenable on highs, but soft, soft, on the rest of Frequency spectrum
ive read that " Leben, Shindo, etc all " all use tube rectifiers ?
It's to bad I can't hear all the preamps in one spot ( lol)
never heard a Joule ( I think Cary & Joule are tube rectifiers, too)
Dazed and Confused
