Jazz for aficionados
@pjw81563 Hmm...okay, not how I interpreted your post "just play the same way they normally do with an electric guitar and an amp with an acoustic guitar and no amp." If you played the same way on both, one could sound terrific and the other could... 
Empirical Audio Synchro mesh reclocker, anybody?
@celander I own an Exogal Comet Plus. I suspect you will really be happy with it.

@pjw81563...Ah if it were only that easy. While all guitarists "can" play acoustic, that doesn't mean guitarists, even professionals, play both electric and acoustic guitar at the same level. This doesn't mean a player can't excel at both. But, as... 
Wait- OMG! The song is really about...?
On Steely Dan, neither of those guys would break up with a girl over an addiction :-)

Audio Doctor goes to Axpona observations so far
The PranaFidelity room IMO is an excellent example of high value audio. I don't own their equipment, but based on what I heard last year and this year at AXPONA, I wouldn't hesitate to put them on a recommended short list for folks looking for new... 
New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
I think it is helpful to hear a lot of different speakers even if they are beyond your budget. Sometimes when you hear what you really like, you can then determine whether the manufacturer make a different model closer to your price point. Or you ... 
Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II
I like the YGA sound and prefer it to the Magico sound YMMV--and greatly. You should hear the Hailey 2.2s for yourself. I have now heard the Hailey 2.2 and the Hailey 1.2 and I greatly prefer the new tweeter design found in the Hailey 2.2. I have ... 
Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5?
I listened to lots of turntables at AXPONA this weekend including a restored Garrard 301, the Technics SL-1000-R, the Grand Prix Monaco 2.0 and a bunch of belt drive tables. I won't spend time comparing sound quality since they all were in differe... 
Axpona 2019
I was at AXPONA all three days this year. My favorite room--the Finest Fidelity Room--they spun records on a Steve Dobbins restored Garrard 301, Reed 2P tonearm ($13,500 together), $12,000 van den Hul catridge and a $25,0000 van den Hul phono pre.... 
Anyone Having Problem With Cardas Clear Beyond XL Power Cables Falling Out Of Equipment
I have these PCs and they fit snugly into the AC outlet. My AC outlets are Porter Ports.

@rlb61 is correct. Jeff told me today that Perspective owners will be offered an upgrade path. He just doesn't have the pricing nailed down yet. 
New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
At AXPONA this morning Jeff Joseph's room featured the new Perspective 2 speakers that have the same upgraded features as the Pulsar Graphene 2. I asked Jeff if he expects to do the same on the Pearl 3 model and he said that he does but that will ... 
What is the one piece of advice you would give about attending AXPONA?
1. Make a top 20 list before you go of the rooms you most want to hear;2. Don't forsake the list; 3. Try to hear those rooms on Saturday or Sunday so you can hear them at their best;3. Get time in the favored listening position for the rooms on yo... 
New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
Once anyone says that their DIY speakers sound as good or better than a commercially produced speaker, I'm interested in knowing who else has heard them and agrees with the builder's assessment. I readily admit that ownership of a particular brand...
