 Marianne Electra Memorial Edition Preamp LA-300ME
Joule Electra is introducing a new preamp, The LA-300ME, that incorporates all the features that have made the LA series of preamps the most sought after preamp in Hi End Audio. This preamp is in memoriam to the Co-founder of Joule Electra, Marianne Electra Barber who passed away after a long illness in May a year ago. The new preamp is a highly refined version of the LA-150 which incorporates exotic capacitors through out and signal wiring designed specifically for Joule Electra by well known cable designer David Elrod of Elrod Power Systems. The signal wiring combines a combination of 6 nines silver and copper in a unique transmission line configuration that David has just developed for his premier interconnects. The signal path capacitors are a mix of V-Caps and Mundorf Silver, Gold and Oil which represents the very best capacitors available to the High End Audio Community. The "super chargers" in the power supplies are huge Mundorf M-TubeCap capacitors which combine a high degree of dielectric strength and low residual inductivity. These capacitors can supply, very quickly, extreme peak currents and can be heard and felt.

These dramatic improvements represent a major cost additionto the design and based on the sonic splendor of the new preamp the cost is well justified.The bass line of the preamp has always been one of it's major assets, but now the bass is much crisper and cleaner, more articulate with improved dynamics, slam and extension. The midrange, one of the outstanding features of the LA-150 is now wonderfully fleshed out with a highly organic nature that must be experienced to fully appreciate. The improvement in treble extension and clarity is immediately noticeable with silky highs possessing the gloss and crispness of the original performance.

The LA-300ME is a BOLD NEW PIECE OF AUDIO ELECTRONICS for the discriminating music listener.
