Joule-Electra LA-150 - Any Suggestions?


Having an LA-150 shipped to me and am wondering if anyone has suggestions as regards tube rolling, support feet, shelves, etc. Will be used with Merlin TSM-MXs and Air Tight 300B amp (the most neutral 300B I've heard). Thanks in advance everyone!

Use an isolation platform that has air in it. In addition I use cones from black diamond. As far as power cords go the Joule loves "FAT MAN" from Electraglide. As for tubes, you'll have to spend a LOT of money to buy better tube than Jud uses from the factory. Although the 100 and the 150 pre amps work well with almost all high quality power amps you must hear them with one of the amps from Joule Electra. Enjoy
I would like to hear from anybody; is this pre in the same class as CJ art? CAT ultimate? I'm looking for a Giant-Killer---Isn't everybody?
No it is not a giant killer but a very well balanced performer. The CAT offers a similiar sound and the CJ is a step up in the mid range, a little sweeter and I forget what else. The Tom Evans SS preamp is what you are looking for if you want a great preamp for the price (used price). It was the most natural preamp I have heard to date. All info is MO.

Happy Listening.
"CJ...a little sweeter and I forget what else." A little hazier, a little less transparent.
