| Cary SLP 2002 or Joule LA 100 Mk III or?w/PassX250 I use the latest version of the Joule LA-150. Jud made a tube/transformer/wiring change. I've heard many different Joule amp and preamp models. I find all of his work to be harmonically rich and easy to listen to. He really gets it. The LA-100 has... | |

| Joule Electra VZN100 with Merlin VSM-MX. There was nothing contentious meant in my comments. If it came across that way, I apologize.J | |
| Joule Electra VZN100 with Merlin VSM-MX. Bobby,I just can't let you slide on Elrods being lighter in the midbass than Cardas. I've had both in my system. Elrods are harmonic firehoses. If it's in there, it'll come out, stand clear! And their ability to support coherence and musicality br... |
