Shindo and Joule Electra Preamps


Hello,

Has anyone moved from using Joule Electra preamp (say LA 150 or 300) to Shindo preamp (Aurieges or Monbrisson)? or vice-versa? Please share your impressions. Did you find the difference to be subtle or significant? I know it is subjective, yet I am interested in learning more about your experience with both preamps.

Thanks for your time.

For what it is worth, I traded in a JE lap150 toward a shindo monbrison.

I compared both at my dealers store and the JE was very veiled/rolled off and completely lacking in lower register harmonics and resolution. ie. mushy bass syndrome. I knew this to be a problem in my system and the culprit was the preamp.

When "frontier1" mentions relaxed and easy to listen too, this is probably what he alluded to.
