Joule LA150MK2 upgrade to LA150SE- Any comments?


Considering upgrading my current Joule LA150MK2 preamp to the LA150SE version at a cost of $1100. Has anyone gone through the conversion process, and can anyone give some feedback as to the changes or improvements? Thanx in advance.

Sam, it is a further refinement, not a wholesale change, so you should be ok if you choose to get the upgrade, both are great preamps either way:)
I'm hoping the upgrade to the SE will give me more air and treble. The Mk2 provides more than enough bass note for my ears. I was hoping the Z-caps will provide a bit more sparkle in the high end.
The Joule site describes the sound of the LA150SE as "The bass performance of the preamp is very strong and solid and the treble is open and airy with great extension."
I did not noticed that nearly as much as the bass, but I'm 52 if you know what I mean:)
Hey, I'm 56, and fortunately haven't lost much of the high frequency hearing. :)
