| Do I have a "balance" problem? I had a similar issue. For me, the problem was with speaker placement. The speakers were equal distant to my chair, within a quarter inch. However, one speaker was slightly further from the back wall and the toe-in was slightly different than the ... | |
| Joule Electra VZN100 Replace with what? IME, Jud was very accessible and easy to talk to before his wife passed away. He is harder to get in contact with now. Seems he has delegated a lot to Simon.I have thought about giving up my Joule VZN-80 MKV Musicwood because of the heat, a low le... | |

| Next Phonostage I wanted to respond to Wrm57 who said he had a hum problem with his Allnic H-3000. I had the same problem, but I solved it by plugging my preamp into the same zone on my power conditioner that has the H-3000 and my turntable. Before, when I had th... | |
| Next Phonostage I am another very satisfied Allnic H-3000 owner. Mine has a bit of tube rush, but you have to listen very close to the speakers to hear it. In my experience, a minor bit of tube rush is typical and not unusual for tubed components and is not a con... | |
| Speaker cable frustration for Merlin vsm mme I use Anti-Cables, $80 for an 8 foot pair. I have Merlin VSM-MXe's paired with a Joule Electra VZN-80 amplifier. I compared the Anti-Cables extensively with JPS SC3, Audience AU24, and Virtual Dynamics Revelation. While each of these cables seem a... | |

| HELP FedEx Mangles Speakers - Refuses Claim I had an incident in which FedEx opened the boxes of a pair of speakers that I had sold. They repackaged one of the boxes incorrectly and a speaker arrived to the buyer damaged, exactly where the foam had been incorrectly repackaged. I received a ... | |
| Supratek Chenin or Cortese I own a Chenin, and used to own a Cortese. I regret selling the Cortese. I love the Chenin, but the Cortese has a more robust, full bodied sound, with better detail. Perhaps this is due to the better power supply. One drawback is that the extra tu... | |
| Who can fix Supratek preamp??? Kevin Covi co-designed the Cortese. He is located in the U.S. Try krcovi@gmail.com. | |
| triplanar have a din- replace cable w synergistic Din connections are not standard with the Triplanar. I asked Tri to make a din junction box for me a couple years ago. He had my tonearm for two months before he talked me into getting an rca box instead. Bottom line is that he is hesitant to prov... | |
| 2 turntables and one phono stage - Can I??? Why don't you call Joule Electra and ask if they can add a second input? I know they offer this feature for the OPS-2 for a very modest cost. I imagine they could do it for the OPS-1 too. | |
| Cary SLP98 phono The phono stage is excellent. I was able to compare it directly it to two "Class A" phono stages and preferred the Cary. I had both the MC and MM versions, paired with the V12R amplifier. Both were very quiet, with background noise practically ind... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I had my Cortese for sale and just cancelled the ad. I can't bring myself to give it up. I really enjoy the dynamics and transparency of the Cortese. My Audio Aero Capitole AI, which I had connected directly to my amp, sounded smeared without the ... | |
| Typical upgrade path from VPI? VPI's do not lack mid-bass, IME. I used to have an Aries 2 for about 3 years in my system and really liked it. I ran it with the JMW 9 and later an SME IV, both tonearms set up with a Benz Micro Reference cartridge. Mid-bass was quite tuneful and ... |
