Joule SE Upgrade

Hi Kjo,

Yesterday, I have auditioned LA-150SE. I am not familiar with non-SE unit but I was immensely impressed byt this preamp - much better them my Jeff Rowland Capri. There was not a touch of some artificial coloration - very, very natuural sound, very close to acoustic music. Interestingly, it provided the best bass I ever heard in any preamp - deep, tight and rich. Extraordinary sound!!!

Good Luck.
Mike

Thank you both. I think I will take the plunge and get it done. It may take a little while to get to it but I will post impressions afterwards.Thanks again. - Kevin

Kjo, I don't think you can go wrong with the SE version. I had the MKII and sold it, and I sold it when I bought Atma-sphere amps and wanted a balanced preamp (also Atma-sphere), but I now also use a Music Reference RM9 Special Editiom, so I bought the SE - It is too long to compare accurately, but it is without question a very, very fine preamp.
