| What time do you wear? Blackstrap, steel case, gold hands, numbers, and minute markers. A beautiful design I had my eyes on for many years. | |
| What time do you wear? IWC Chronograph Automatic (Port.) weekdays, Casio weekends (unless I "dress" for dinner. | |
| Designer Hall of Fame Seems worthy of a screenplay. Who could we get to play Iverson? Russell Crowe? | |
| Joule LA150MK2 upgrade to LA150SE- Any comments? I did not noticed that nearly as much as the bass, but I'm 52 if you know what I mean:) | |
| Slagle AVC Modules & Lightspeed Attenuator I agree, but I think most folks would not choose to do that, lucky if we can get them to accept not having a remote:) | |
| Slagle AVC Modules & Lightspeed Attenuator I was a bit skeptical that it would better the TVC and AVCs I previously owned, but it certainly as good, and they were quite a bit more money. This is a no brainer to audtion with any single source system. | |
| Joule LA150MK2 upgrade to LA150SE- Any comments? Sam, it is a further refinement, not a wholesale change, so you should be ok if you choose to get the upgrade, both are great preamps either way:) | |

| Slagle AVC Modules & Lightspeed Attenuator Batalok, what were using before (for comparison and context). I feel the same way after having used CAT, Lamm, Joule, Atma-sphere, and Placette - pretty good stuff for this LS to go up against. | |
| Question for Merlin VSM/ARS Sonum owners Bobby and the designer both make the claim that the Jan Phillips is the best NOS in the ARS, any reason to doubt their claim? Well as has been said, at least spend some time with the supplied tubes before jumping on the tube rolling trail. | |
| Question for Merlin VSM/ARS Sonum owners If you want NOS tubes, there is no better source for testing and getting what you think your getting that Andy at Vintage Tube Services. Don't know if you will like them better than the JAN Phillips 5814s as I never tube rolled the Ars when I owne... | |
| Top ten tube preamps I don't think anyone is going to pay "retail". | |
| Question for Merlin VSM/ARS Sonum owners Amperex Bugle Boy 12AU7 is a great tube. | |
| Joule Electra LAP 150, Noisy? Crubio, I don't think you are going to many arguments that the Joule preamps are not great in a very, very musical way. |
