ARC versus Joule Electra



Hi Folks:

I greatly admire Jud Barber's work both in terms of preamp's and power amp's. His OTL creations are finest of that type of tube amp that I have ever listened too.

Has anyone ever done an A-B comparison between the ARC Reference 2 Mk2 or LS 25 MK2 (both 6H30 tubed) versus the best preamps by Mr. Barber?

Best:

D.H.

Sorry, actually meant to ask this of Martyk1. Also, is that a set of prototype Ayre Myrtle Wood Blocks I see under the table?

Bjesian,

Nope. I belive that the video you posted shows a Mk. II, and I have the earlier Mark I.

In defense of my first response in this thread, when I offerred to provide feedback on the 2 preamps that I own, I did start the post by acknowledging "Not Me". Since I knew that my offer was slightly OT, I suggested that the OP contact me off-line if he had any interest in my thoughts on the older models I own.
