Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh


Southwest audio show apparently was a big hit and a great place for audio.

It's nice to see Jay is taking an interest in McIntosh amplifiers. He has a 2 boxes in his lab containing MC 901 dual mono amplifiers that can be used to biamp lots of things including speakers , a tube/solid state amplifier. He promises a review sometime soon.

Additionally he's got brand new speakers and we don't know what they are because they are Hidden behind acoustical panels waiting to be unveiled sometime by Thanksgiving.

Jay predicts his brand will be bigger than southwest audio show.  Jays audio show coming to a Texas town near you. 

Looking forward to all the excitement.

Joseph Audio speakers are overly bright and extremely hard to set up. You gotta be friggin’ kidding me. Bye bye.

I've listened to the Joseph Audio speakers at a local dealer 3 times now and at Axpona and they are the antithesis of being bright! 

I can't help but contribute here, although it smacks of piling on. I watch his videos regularly...but not to learn about audio. It's more like a "Housewives of (fill in the blank, I've never actually watched an episode but see the drama on the ads)". The shows are really more drama than content or expertise in describing sound. I have enjoyed this hobby for decades, and have a system in the 6 figure range, but I really have never been able to glean much helpful from his content. Jay strikes me as someone who has been successful in some avenue in his life, but strongly needs external validation, and audio gear is now the vehicle. He appears to be a good dealmaker, and he certainly has leveraged himself into a position where he is being acknowledged by the industry. This might be a bit of a statement about the industry itself, along with the current post covid state of it. (Anybody see the Boulder Amp video? Jeff the founder looks like he can't wait for it to be over). Jay appears to really need followers....the term "syncophant" in an above post is pretty right on when you look at the comments below his videos. There is more of a fandom than critical analysis. In any case, hats off to him as he is succeeding in his goals. We may be soon seeing Suncoast Audio Texas division, and Audio Rallies (Make Audio Great Again!)

“We may be soon seeing Suncoast Audio Texas division.”

No you won’t.

If I had the time to actually respond to all comments in here…

Oh wait - someone once said “ if you always tell the truth , you don’t have to remember anything “

Was that Mark Twain ?
There is a reason WHY I had the longest running thread in the history of Audiogon removed… It is still the best decision I’ve ever made because it has allowed me to focus on those things that actually contribute to my family and I.
We all have a passion for something (I hope you all do too) but if don’t follow it, you are cheating YOURSELF.
I’m thankful for what this forum did for me as well as those of you who have been supportive of me throughout the years (you know who you are).
I don’t seek validation or to make the masses happy. We all know when you try to make everyone happy you end up making NO ONE happy.
Over the next 12-24 months I hope to bring a version 2.0 or “mk2” as we call it when it comes to audio components. If people are mentioning you (in good or bad ways) it simply means you have reach and they are either following you, watching you, hearing you or listening to you.

I have always been kind to anyone who’s met me in person. I’ve never ripped anyone off or taken advantage of anyone. It’s not in my DNA to do that to anyone because that will come back to you.
Growth comes from hard work and dedication and not by sitting on your butt watching TV. Those who are close to me know how hard I work day in day out.
Lastly, what I’ve accomplished so far was started IN HERE in THIS forum. I just stayed the course posting in here on a daily basis for roughly 8 years. If I didn’t want more for my time and effort, I’d still be here posting without a YouTube channel or a presence  in this audio industry.
Remember, I came from nothing, no rich parents or inheritance… if I did this, SO CAN YOU !
