Joule Electra preamps and amps. What is your impression?

Ralph, thank you. When I switched from 60 watt/ch amp to 120 watt/ch amp, both ss integrated, there was a big improvement at all volume levels, though the current amp is of higher quality too. But I can definitely hear that the increased power is beneficial. So 60 watt/ch of tube power should be just right, and 100 watts wouldn't hurt.

inna, I own the Joule Electra 150MKII SE. The one piece of gear I just can't let go. Everything else in my system has changed but I just love the sound of this pre. Plus Jud is a super guy and I wish him all the best in his retirement. 

Rich, did you end up with Jud's stock of tubes for my pre? I ask because I had planned on buying a second set just to make sure and then heard Jud was retired.

Ralph, you are always such a gentleman, it's really nice to hear you talk highly of someone else's products without trying to sell your own. Of course to me that is reason enough to look into your products as well.

In fact,  have a new audio friend who is bringing over a pair of your M60-MK111s that he is going to sell. I have heard here in fact a few years ago that they are a very good match with my Joule pre so I'm really looking forward to that.  

@gregfisk I received some tubes from Jud (6350's and Russian 6C45 and 6H30 stuff - all old stock - some new, some not), but I am unsure if it is all that he had. So, I am always on the hunt for batches of NOS 6350s (which are not easy to find... plenty of folks with a pair or two, but I'd love to find a stash of a dozen or more).

BTW, I agree Ralph is a true gent. Often sharing his experience and expertise on various forums which for sure I have learned much from.
