| Joule Electra VZN100 Thoughts Probably right Tubegroover. My audio buddies think they're miraculous. I call them Frankenstein mono blocks. Especially considering the variac ;) | |
| Joule Electra VZN100 Thoughts Other than a bad tube the Joules have had no reliability issues although having seen the bulging caps things could go haywire. I wish to be proactive and replace before that happens.No other amp that has been through my current system has made any... | |
| Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source? I have considerable experience with the BDP-95 as a 2 channel source. It has been in my system against a host of DAC's including Eastern Electric Minimax, NAD M51,BDP83se modded, Metrum Octave, Tranquility and others.The way I used the BDP-95 ulti... | |
| Joule Electra VZN100 Thoughts Thanks Tubegroover, for the response. The Joules have been solid except for just recently, a glowing red tube. I purchased 4 of the 6C33 NOS for under a $100 dollars including shipping from Russia so no complaints there. Waiting for arrival. I hap... | |
| Hypex Ncore NC400 Finally had a chance to hear the nCores in my system. My current amps are the Joule Electra VZN100's. The nCores were very difficult to assess. At first, I thought they sounded good but something was missing. Trying to get a description, all I cou... | |
| NAD M51 wish PC based connectivity Never got an opportunity to hear the W4S in my system. J-River plays but not without its hiccups. When left alone, PC wakes from sleep, NAD requires a reboot. Need to debug as it's annoying. | |
| Joule Electra VZN 100 Need help Wow, that is really great information. I got no help, no love from Jud. But many fellow audio guys have really come to my rescue. When something breaks (or I break something) in my house, in about 1 day someone has a spare for me to use till I'm u... | |
| Joule Electra VZN 100 Need help Got it sorted out myself. In the end, I really could find a mistake in wiring. I just trimmed and reset all the connections. But something happened. There's no hum anywhere and the amps sound even more amazing.Thanks again for your help. | |
| NAD M51 wish PC based connectivity Thanks for the responses. I've gotten J-River to work with the NAD. There was a playback mode section at the bottom of a file type window I missed that was set to "automatic". Strange location IMO.Even after giving up the Jriver engineers found th... | |
| Review: NAD m51 DA converter I received my M51 ~25 days ago so I've been spending some time testing with the M51’s generous amount of connectivity.I've written this review on another site some weeks ago and thought I'd share/add to AG comrades. Comparisons with other DACs alt... | |
| Joule Electra VZN 100 Need help Hey guys thanks for the posts. I brought this on myself by wanting to rid the amps of those cheesy power cords. Simple enough but it wasn't. I didn't take any pictures like a total idiot. I assumed they were wired identically like an idiot. They a... | |
| Joule Electra VZN 100 Need help The problem is that I rewired the power inlets (the ones without the fuse holder) and I'm pretty sure I mis-wired one of those, somehow, as I was damn careful. I was also under the illusion that they carried AC. My stupidity. The variac wiring see... | |
| what is the best amp you've ever heard Now that I own them after a week, the Joule Electra VZN100 is the best sounding amp I've heard to date. This after owning the Decware Torii MkIII which is no slouch. This by a wide margin. | |
| Anyone got GR Research Super V Well, this is an old thread, but I have an answer - sort of.I have the Super V's. I have a Decware Torii MK III. And I have Synergistic Research Telsa speaker cables.The sort-of is because I'm burning in the V-Caps after a rebuild of the Torii... ... | |
| Oppo BDP-95 sounds GREAT? I have my BDP-95 running a 3TB "My Book" through its USB port. I've also used the eSata port and may try that again. It was a bit flaky for me. I am interested on a possible difference in quality - USB vs eSata.Note: You cannot use a drive larger ... |
