| Anyone Know the fuse size in the Joule- Electra VZN100 and LA-300 pre amp @fluffers Sorry I do not have the fuse values for all the Joule gear committed to memory... (plus the amps rarely blow fuses unless something is (very) wrong) with the wide range of amps and preamps made over the years, I need to look this stuff u... | |
| Good preamp with Merlin TSM speakers? @pmboyd Of all the Joule preamps, the older LA-100 (MKIII which is the last version of the LA100 being the best due its construction, the remote used, etc) will be the one with the most "flesh on the bone"... the later LA-150(MKII) is better in a ... | |
| Calling Merlin upgraders Hopefully I can help... I should know a few things about this (having worked with Bobby/Merlin as a Merlin dealer and consultant if you will to the company). The stickers on the back are custom made lettering which while can be removed, unless you... | |
| In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music For all Merlin owners, fans...I have just started a group on Facebook for folks who own or have enjoyed in the past Merlin speakers. The URL is https://www.facebook.com/groups/1712629472383990/ or just search for Merlin Music Systems Speakers Ow... | |
| why no recent Merlin speaker reviews? @ssand1 , Wow. every time I read a story like this it brings back the profound sadness I feel at Bobby's loss. It hartens me to know that so many people still own and enjoy the speakers. I have just started a group on Facebook for folks who ow... | |
| Joule Electra preamps and amps. What is your impression? @gregfisk I received some tubes from Jud (6350's and Russian 6C45 and 6H30 stuff - all old stock - some new, some not), but I am unsure if it is all that he had. So, I am always on the hunt for batches of NOS 6350s (which are not easy to find... p... | |
| Joule Electra preamps and amps. What is your impression? @soundsrealaudio ... Only ONE Joule preamp (model/version) used the Russian 6C45 and 6H30 "super" tubes... The LA-150MK1 line stage (you can also find this line stage in the few LAP150MK1 preamps made (NB: a LAP is a joule line stage and phono pre... | |
| Joule Electra preamps and amps. What is your impression? I guess this thread is the reason why I have been getting several recent phone calls about Joule-Electra gear! :-) Some general notes/thoughts....6C33 Tube Sockets - Ralph (Atmaphere) knows way more than I do about the variations and types of the... | |
| In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music Yes, I will be offering upgrades... while I am up to speed and can do all Merlin BAM related work (I built/upgraded/repaired BAMs for Merlin from around 2013 on) and things like Master RCs, jumpers - I'm not doing Black Magic upgrades yet.... I ha... | |
| Merlin TSM-M (MXE) Owners manual Wow Jim (joneill). Thank you for the very kind words! I will try to continue to live up to them. Getting the Merlin upgrade/support project up and going has taken much longer than I had planned (and I am still not fully there yet due to how busy o... | |

| Joule Electra MoFiMadness...I won't say I am "the" man, because I still can't compare to Jud or folks like Ralph with their breadth and depth of knowledge of tube circuits. As I have been doing much more (repair/maintenance) work with Joule gear in the past sev... | |
| Joule Electra Hi Folks,Jud Barber is alive and well. I occasionally e-mail him (and when he feels like it he answers... LOL) with questions about Joule gear. He is retired and not making or servicing gear anymore. I have been fortunate in that some years ago, J... | |
