| Amp(s) to go with Joseph Audio Pearls @funhog You have nice speakers. Congratulations. I have owned Joseph Audio Perspectives and Pearl 3s. I ran the Perspectives with a NAD 375 BEE at first. Sounded good. I then bought a Jeff Rowland Continuum S2 integrated amp to drive them. This pa... | |

| Speaker cable length @simao FWIW I have tried the same brand of speaker cables in three different but equal lengths with the same amplifiers and same speakers . (I own monoblock amps.) It's an interesting experiment. I tried speaker cable lengths of 3.5M, 1.5M and .5M... | |
| TOTL cool running amps with fast 'warm up' time? Rowland M925. Run very cool. I leave my on all the time except when I travel or when there is lightning in the vicinity. | |
| Mixing REL subs, great idea or terrible idea? OP, I currently run two R series with two SHO series REL subs. They sound great together. I also use what I will call the Duke Lejuene "swarm" method. Duke gets the credit because he graciously walked me through how he thought I should deal with b... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 @djones51 When I ran JA Perspective speakers I found the more power I fed them the better they sounded. I never ran them with tubes, only SS. | |
| Innuos Statement Review In an effort to provide folks reading this thread with more breadth and depth on the Innuos Statement versus Antipodes CX+EX comparison, I asked for comments on the subject over on What's Best Forum. See below a response I received last night:"May... | |
| Innuos Statement Review The Statement's PSU is extremely quiet. For clarity, it doesn't generate "massive" noise. If it did, I would have noted that fact in the review. I don't know whether the Statement will come down in price or not. I had to wait a fairly long time to... | |
| Innuos Statement Review @musicfx Thanks for detail, especially regarding the cables you tried with the Innuos Statement. Like you, in my system I prefer a ripped CD to the Innuos Statement hard drive over Tidal streaming--but the streaming sounds mighty good. Statement'... | |
| Innuos Statement Review @hehaw77 OK, but I don't understand why you would be certain that CP never in fact heard the CX+EX combo if you in fact had already read his review. CP basically raves about the combo: as you now note. Even in the Pink Faun review, which he concl... | |
| Innuos Statement Review @hehaw77 Since you asked me to provide the links to CP's Antipodes CX+EX combo review (it is a three part review) you can find them below. The CP response to my April 2019 question, which I copied above, is from the comment section CP's Pink Faun ... | |
| Innuos Statement Review @hehaw77 You may want to read CP's Antipodes CX+EX review. CP has listened to many Antipodes' products. He has one of the most favorable reviews of the CX+EX combo on the internet. You can see his enthusiasm for the Antipodes CX+EX combo in his re... | |
| Innuos Statement Review @david_ten It is probably is worth noting that I have listened to the Innuos Statement with the Aqua Formula xHD DAC, however, not in my listening room. The speakers were YGA Hailey 2.2s, which I am fond of--but do not own. I liked the presentatio... | |
| Innuos Statement Review @david_ten and others:In order to try and answer the question posted above, I thought it would be helpful to first set out Christiaan Punter's (CP) full response to a question I asked him back in April 2019--it follows here (I will then post separ... | |
| Innuos Statement Review @david_ten Hopefully you have read this review of the Pink Faun server:https://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/review/digital-reviews/music-server-reviews/pink-faun-2-16x-1-3/I have only linked to the first part of the three part review. I highly recomme... |
