Thanks for the pointer to Rich's updated site.
Rich, I enjoyed the additional info. Thank you for sharing that stuff. I especially liked seeing the photos of the OTL's innards. I was always curious to know what they looked like on the inside.
Not to derail David's thread, but in your opinion, what is a good single ended pre-amp that matches with the Joule OTLs besides the Joule preamps? I presently own a LA-150 and VZN-100s, but a recent change in my domestic situation requires that I combine our TV/VHS/cable/DVD with my reference 2-channel system that already has 3 sources + the SuperBAM in the tape-loop. Thus I have a need for a preamp with at least 5 single ended inputs (though 6 would be better). Again, I would attemp to keep the SuperBam in the tape loop, but I also dont mind the sound with it connected between the preamp and OTLs.
Oh yeah, I am not particular to tubes or solidstate in this case. But keeping it under $10K is definately a must. A used CJ ART2 or VTL 7.5? Tom Evans Vibe? Ayre K-1? EAR? What do you think?
