| Joule - Electra: Just How Hot?? With VZN-80 or 100 you should have no problem with heat dissipation if you have 16" free space. You better audition these amps before discarding them. There is a good reason why many, me including, are crazy on Jud Barber designs... | |
| Joule - Electra: Just How Hot?? Gwng8: Space of 16" may or may not be enough for J-E OTL amp - depending on the amp you want.a) dimensions including free space above tubesb) Power output. if its VZN-80 its one thing and if its VZN-300 then its totally different thermal environme... | |
| Spectron MIII mk II owner's question. Hi Simon,I used your advice and did not changed my TTFT caps to CuTF but invested in something else which could be verty relevant to some other owners and Specron and Joule-Electra. This is Platinum Upgrade of my LA-300ME preamp and while not terr... | |
| B&W N802: Which amp?? I drive my B&W 802 Diamond by pair of Spectron Musician III monoblocks and all tube Joule-Electra LA-300ME preamp. These speakers LUV power but they love finesse may be more.... I am extremely happy with this combo and cannot recommend it high... | |
| Tube Pre-Amp for Class D amps I suggest to check Joule-Electra LA-150. Its within your budget, extraordinary musical and has variable output impedance so you can match it with solid state amplifiers having either high or low input impedance.I use it with my Spectron and its ma... | |
| Jplay Mini Question: I tried this mode and indeed the sound is excellent.My problem is that once it started it continues until it ends. How can you PAUSE the playback(say your phone is ringing) or if impossible to pause, how to STOP this playback?Thank you !... | |
| Amp suggestion for Merlins? It is well known that Merlin always present their speakers with Joule-Electra power amplifier 80 or 100 watts.Its not integrated amp so you need separate preamp. If on the budget use passive (TLC, in my opinion, are the best for money see Promethi... | |

| Thoughts from Joule preamp owners? Hello Pubul57,tube/ss combo sounds very attractive but I tried a number of combinations and results were not always desirable. One, obvious reason, that many ss amps have low input impedance whereas many tube preamps(even excellent like BAT) have ... | |
| Thoughts from Joule preamp owners? I am not familar with LA-100 but I auditioned the rest of their preamp line. LA-150 Mk1 (original) is not terribly musical on my taste.LA-150Mk2 is fantastic - seduce you into the listening and you can't stop. Excellent bass. For my taste a bit mo... | |
| Spectron Musician III MK.2 or Audio Research DS450 " class D or I.C.E. for me same garbage, i simply don't believe in 500 watts power amps that weigh under 100 pounds just does'nt make sense to ME"It is not question of faith to begin with.Next, why won;t you avoid making comments in matters you ha... | |
| A bit overwhelmed, need preamp advice " the bass has to be pretty controlled "With your budget then the best preamp is Joule-Electra LA-150Mk2, used. Harry Pearson wrote that is has extraordinary bass and gave it some award (Golden Ear?) a few years ago. Not only it has excellent bass... | |
| Auraliti PK100 " ...they have not been responsive to emails."If so then forget about them. Too bad as design seem to me superb - I prefer PK90 over PK100...but if company does not respond on simple inquiry then its "huge red flag" in my book.I was planning to e-... | |
| Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias Utopias sound is a bit, just a bit on the lean side of neutrality. This make my recommendation of preaamp very easy: JOule-Electra from LA-150Mk2 to LA-450ME depending on your budget - all will creare synergy with your speakers. With power amplifi... | |
| Shindo and Joule Electra Preamps " I compared both at my dealers store and the JE was very veiled/rolled off and completely lacking in lower register harmonics and resolution. ie. mushy bass syndrome. I knew this to be a problem in my system and the culprit was the preamp"I am su... |
