| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 @goose Yep, the price tags in this hobby are perplexing. Having said that, for me, I haven't heard a speaker in the $35K-50K price range that I like better. I like the Vivid line of speakers but their profile is never going to get my spouse's appr... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 I agree with @markalarsen above. | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 FWIW Jeff Joseph just showed his new Pearl 3 model with the Graphene upgrade at RMAF 2019. This model will now be called something different (I think Pearl 20.20 but that could be incorrect). Jeff hasn't determined what it will cost current Pearl ... | |
| Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl Why I love vinyl: (1) It reminds me of being a teenager in the 1970s and working my butt off to buy my first turntable, receiver and speakers. That work ethic helped pave a blessed road for me throughout life. It's a nice memory that I reinforce w... | |
| RMAF - Innuos Demo @aj72 I visited this room and listened to the Innuos re-clocker setup. I agree with @lalitk assessment above although I didn't hear the A/B demonstration. I own an Innuos server. | |
| RMAF 2019! I heard the Audio Solutions Virtuoso M speakers paired with Vitus amplification gear. The source was the top of the line UHA reel to reel. I thought they sounded pretty good overall and very good with rock material. The bass was not dialed in, but... | |
| RMAF 2019! @andrewkelley Thanks for reaching out. I am a Dallas guy. PM me and I will put you in touch with a local network of like-minded folks. And I will stop by and check your place out. | |
| RMAF 2019! I attended all day Friday and half a day Saturday. This was my first RMAF. I have attended the last three AXPONAs in Chicago. I stayed at the venue hotel. Here are my impressions. The facilities were very nice but registration was a long hike from... | |
| Innuos Statement Review @jonaiken Thanks for the kind words. After you receive your Statement please post what you hear. Because you know and like the DX3 sound, I'm fairly confident you are going to be very pleased with your purchase. | |
| Innuos Statement Review Innuos Statement Update: Power Cord Swapping--I recommend trying different power cords with the Statement. I recently swapped out the Cardas Clear Beyond PC I had been using on it for the Shunyata Sigma NR PC. While both sound excellent, the Sigma... | |
| Innuos Statement Review @musicfx Thank you for this listening review. When you try other cables please post the results here. Congratulations on your new Statement. | |
| Innuos Statement Review @justubes2 A general rule of thumb is that DAC architecture beginning in about 2012-2013 made substantial gains over the DACs before that period of time. Part of those gains included the advancement/refinement of USB and ethernet interfaces. Since... | |
| Innuos Statement Review @david12 Thanks for the post. If you end up with the Re-Clocker please post your impressions of it here. I agree with you that the Statement is super simple to use. The ripper works great, and quiet mode is actually quiet. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @keegiam "Santana--Self Titled Album Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs pressing" | |
| What DB level is best for judging audio equipment? +1 @elizabeth The listen in the range of 65dB to 77dB according to my preamp volume control, which appears very accurate. My smart phone meter generally shows the transients to go as high as 82dB. I intentionally do not listen louder than 80db on... |
