Making and modifying "stuff" is something I also do here at Signature Sound High-End Audio. The "stuff" shown here are a brand new pair of Merlin Dual Mono XLR/RCA Master BAMs that I built (exact Merlin spec except for the upgraded Furutech XLR jacks), a LA-150SE getting torn down in preparation for my optimized/improved version of Joule-Electra's "Platinum" upgrade, and lastly some brand new Merlin Master RC Networks (built using the exact same custom spec/made Duelund Coherent Audio capacitors and other parts that Merlin Music Systems used to make them). ...

Boom. Looks great. This is my next career, I wish.

Maybe I need THOSE superior RC Networks to try...?

Nice iron!

Mundorf supply caps! Do you find they sound better than the standard blue Cornell Dubiliers or what not? I put some in my Ayre amp and thought they sounded quite nice, but I haven’t done any comparisons

The dynamic duo! The new Ars Sonum Filarmonia SM and its bigger brother, the Gran Filarmonia shown in the background.

The new Filarmonia SM may look exactly like previous versions of the Filarmonia, but it packs a bunch of changes and upgrades under the hood. A brand new circuit board design hosts a improved power supply design, a few small circuit changes/refinements (which result in a smidge less power output), and top quality coupling capacitors from V-Cap and Mundorf.

Pricing for the Filarmonia SM has not been set just yet, but with the improvements and changes made, it will cost more than the Filarmonia SK it replaces. ... See MoreSee Less

Things were getting a bit messy in the main listening room, so motivated by the impending visit of some customers from out of town today, I did a bit of cleaning and straightening things up! 😎 ... See MoreSee Less

Looking good Rich! Nice to see you still displaying/playing the Merlins, those are just diffusers with the interconnects draped over or Maggies?

Looking to get into a good tube preamp for not much money? This one owner Joule-Electra LA-100 (original MK1 version) preamp, though about 21 years old, is in fantastic shape and perfect working order. I have thoroughly gone through this unit on my test bench and all tubes have been checked, power supply filter capacitors tested, etc etc and will give many more years of great sounding use. The unit was obviously very well cared for and little used by the original owner and is complete with its original facotry box and manual. No remote control on these early Joule-Electra preamps, the line stage uses two NOS 5751 tubes and the power supply has pairs of OA2 and 6EM7 tubes. This is a smooth, natural sounding preamp with wonderful tone and sound-staging. This preamp retailed for $2,995 when new, this classic all tube Joule-Electra preamp is yours for only $895!
