Joule Electra La-150 MK2


Does this preamp have the ability for gain adjustment as did the La-150 via internal circuit board?
adampeter
Yes. The gain selector is located on the right side of the Phono board inside the preamp and should be in for 36db and out for 62 db of gain. Of course this applies only to the LAP-150 which has a phono section. The LA-150 is only a line stage preamp. By the way I have had a Joule preamp for a number of years starting with the LAP-100 and now have the LAP-150 MKII and have been very happy with them.
You would have to call Jud Barber at Joule and ask him but the adjustment is on the phono board. Don
Don, I think Adampeter is refering to the Gain levels (4db versus 8db) in the line stage, not phono stage. The original LA150 mk1 used a jumper in the line stage on the line stage circuit board near the gain tubes, one for each channel.

As oppossed to the phono MM vs MC switch of the ops1/ops2 phono preamp.
