Which Preamp - Modwright or Joule-Electra?

Hello Dob,

Have you try both impedances on the LA 150 ? For me seems the lower impedance is better in terms of dynamics. Maybe this comes from the association with my power amps.

I think I'll upgrade the capacitors of my Carys with these caps if possible :-)

Great thread. wish my la100 could be upgraded....

Melkior,

In my system, the use of the buffer stage substantially improved the sound stage, palpability, detail and overall musicality.

Kbuzz - your LA-100 can also be upgarded but not by J-E.
You can find good modifier and he can do a number of things - particualrly with signal path capacitors, and power supply, filter capacitors

Dob. Thank you for your reply. given the unique joule sound, which i love and dont want to skew, i have never thought of having that piece modded. figured if i wanted to upgrade with a newer joule id just sell this one and try and find another used.

so on that note, do you know anyone who has modded this pre? And if so any details would be appreciated.

thanks

Bob knows Joule-Electra for "a" to "z" and can be trusted

He has his own power supply but I did not auditioned it and thus unable to recommend
