| What is the "sound" dif. between a Joule -Elctra OTL and a SET amp?? As for MKIV versus MKV, I believe it has to do with the use and implementation of circuit boards. I would call Rich at Signature Sound. He would know the answer. | |
| What is the "sound" dif. between a Joule -Elctra OTL and a SET amp?? I am not familiar with your Wyetech amp, but I owned a Joule Electra OTL amp and SET monoblock amps at the same time. The Joule was a VZN-80 MKV, Musicwood edition. The SET amps are a pair of Coincident 300b Frankensteins. I had both of these amp... | |
| Help...hum issue with new preamp Did you take a look at the insides? When my Supratek Cortese was shipped to me it arrived with a loose wire to the phono stage. When I sold it, the buyer received it with a loose part in the power supply. Both issues were fixed easily. It was a gr... | |
| The one component that you wish you had not bought My Meridian surround sound system, with processor, separate amp, and dsp speakers. I could never get it to sound nearly as good as my 2 channel system. I got better results with a Marantz receiver and non-Meridian speakers, at 10% of the cost. I w... | |

| What's the best Sony CD/SACD player? I have a stock Sony XA5400ES. I have owned it for 5 years and love it. It takes a long time to break in. I would be skeptical about any descriptions of the sound from owners who gave their impressions after just purchasing the player. After 500 ho... | |
| Frankensteins or Audio Note Kit 300b Mattzack2, I looked up the specs for your speakers. They are rated at 89.5 dB sensitivity and 4 ohms nominal impedance. I tried my Frankensteins with a pair of speakers that I owned that are rated at 89 dB and 8 ohms (never going below 6.5 ohms). ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in DAC's these days? Yamamoto YDA-02. $350 plus $30 shipping from 2Juki. It only plays up to 96kHz, no dsd. It only has a usb input.I bought one a couple months ago. I'm using it with a Mac Mini. It is my first foray into computer audio. I have no other experience wit... | |
| Cary 805 vs v12 I owned the 805AE and the V12R at the same time and was able to compare them. I had Quad ESL-988 speakers. The 805AE did not work very well with them. The amp was dull and lifeless compared to my V12R. Although the 805AE is rated at 50 watts a cha... | |

| New Variac for Joule Electra Amps Hi Outlier,Have you contacted Joule Electra and asked if they will sell a new variac to you? That would be great if they would. I thought Jud Barber retired recently due to age and health concerns. | |
| New Variac for Joule Electra Amps I have a VZN-80. It is 7 years old. Last year, the variac started to get very hot and there was a burning smell. I did not look to see if there was any glowing. I took the variac to my local tech, and it turned out the problem was a defective fuse... | |
