Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars
Hi prof,Pulsars are better to my ear in speed, imaging and mid / lower bass definition. Caveat is the comparison is based on the MBL's in my previous house experience in a much smaller room versus the Pulsar with sub in my current house which has ... 
CD players = dead?
75% of music sold in Japan are on CD and are still popular in other Euro countries.  New CDP's are still being released.  The latest is from Gryphon.  Good news for me and others who still buy CD's.  The prices continue to fall and many companies ... 
Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars
I’ll add my two cents. I have the Pulsar and a single REL T7i sub in a 25’ X 35’ room. This replaced the MBL 116’s. I was very surprised how close the current combo came sonically to the MBL’s in all areas and, in fact, bettered the MBL’s in some ... 
I Thought I Had My Speaker Choice Narrowed Down. Maybe Not?
Yes, you've been saying this numerous times but no one seems to be listening.  I think you are a "genius in your own mind".  Sounds a lot like 45. 
I Thought I Had My Speaker Choice Narrowed Down. Maybe Not?
No-one can tell you what speakers you will like in your room with your gear, your hearing and your biases. No-one. If possible, best option is to audition at home with a money back guarantee. And if you do this, make sure the speakers are fully br... 
Best speakers to replace Martin Logan CLS
vuongp,RE Pulsars. Suffice to say, it, along with the REL sub, is my last set of speakers. Amazing large sound in a very small physical passage.For background other components include: Pass Labs 250.5 amp, Conrad Johnson ET5 preamp, Luxman D-06u C... 
Best speakers to replace Martin Logan CLS
Over 25 some years, I had four ML models, including the CLS2A and the Summits and went with the MBL116’s. They do what ML does well and take it up a big notch.   Much fuller immersion and dimensionality.Ended up retiring / moving and wanted someth...

advice on possible (REL?) sub for PSB Imagine B speakers
northman,Regarding the Pulsar audition.I’d call Jeff Joseph directly and see what he can do. Yes, you can talk to the "man" himself. He does sell direct and I would certainly ask for an audition before purchase. And FWIW, over the last 25 years or... 
advice on possible (REL?) sub for PSB Imagine B speakers
Hi northman,What is the size of your room? What kind of music do you listen to and how loud? I have a 25’ X 30’ room and my single T7i (corner loaded) energizes the room quite well. Yes, you can overload the room with too large a sub.Regarding set... 
Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
Because he is obviously too lazy or too jaded or just trolling or just doesn’t care about the sound quality of his system and then has the arrogance to criticize a tweak he hasn’t even tried even though it costs almost nothing (or $0.00) and takes... 
advice on possible (REL?) sub for PSB Imagine B speakers
Hi northman,I have the REL T7i with the Joseph Audio Pulsars.  Wonderful coupling.1)  Makes perfect sense.2)  Oh yes.  Once properly placed and adjusted, you'll be a very happy camper.3)  No If placed and adjusted properly.Other thoughts.  Dependi... 
Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
I have no clue as to why folks think "raising wire off the floor" is a "cash cow tweak". There are numerous ways to do this and spend a pittance of money. Cups, CD cases, etc. Seems to me these individuals have little interest in experimenting wit... 
Subwoofers and Phase Question For You Sub Experts
Agree with daveyf.  Go with the appropriate REL sub.  I have the T7i with my Joseph Audio Pulsars.  Integration is seamless as far as I can tell and the sub positively impacts / enhances all frequencies, not just the low / mid bass. 
Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
Static electricity can be caused by friction, electrostatic induction or electrostatic conduction. I am no physicist but it appears the static phenomena between the wire and the carpet fibers is caused by either induction or conduction. Charging b...
