| Best preamp for my system. Glad to hear you're pleased with the Joule LA300 (Marianne). I've had the Joule LA-150 Mk2 for a couple years and have never thought about changing preamps until your post. Simon emailed me the other day saying that the SE upgrade is definitely wo... | |
| Joule LA150MK2 upgrade to LA150SE- Any comments? Hey, I'm 56, and fortunately haven't lost much of the high frequency hearing. :) | |
| Joule LA150MK2 upgrade to LA150SE- Any comments? The Joule site describes the sound of the LA150SE as "The bass performance of the preamp is very strong and solid and the treble is open and airy with great extension." | |
| Joule LA150MK2 upgrade to LA150SE- Any comments? I'm hoping the upgrade to the SE will give me more air and treble. The Mk2 provides more than enough bass note for my ears. I was hoping the Z-caps will provide a bit more sparkle in the high end. | |

| Esoteric X 03 Power Cord and Interconnect Recommen Charles Hansen of Ayre posted on AA that he likes the Cardas Golden on his Ayre sources. I've tried the Silent Source and Cardas GR on my X-03, but have a Black Sand Violet and a Cardas Golden on the way. At present I really like the Cardas Golden... | |
| Esoteric DV-50s,X-03 Vs Musical Fidelity Trivista I've been usng the Audio Aero Capitole mk2 with SE upgrade for the past year or so. Recently I auditioned the Esoteric X-03 with my current system.

| Best Upgrade? Consider power conditioning as your next upgrade. I've found the Sound Applications XE-12s a real bargain now that the Linestage model has come out. Also consider an Elrod EPS-2 Sig 20A PC. You won't be disappointed. Dead quiet. |
