| Buzz/hum through speakers You probably have a ground loop. If you disconnect the cable feed to the TV set and the hum drops away that would confirm it. A ground loop is caused when there's a difference in ground potential between your cable and electrical grounds. You can ... | |
| Anyone going to the NY Audio show today to Sunday Hi Chayro, Yes, I'm Jeff Joseph. It's too bad you weren't able to get a seat, judging the sound balance from a standing position is unpredictable. Perhaps you were stuck in a bass null. The bass in the seats was excellent, I had many ask me if we ... | |
| Anyone going to the NY Audio show today to Sunday And what music was playing on the Pearls that sounded so good? | |
| Anyone going to the NY Audio show today to Sunday I wonder what music was playing on the Pulsars that sounded so bad? | |
| What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009? Hi Azaud,Thanks for your comments and asking about the upgrades. We'll be offering an upgrade to the original Pearl, save for the cosmetic changes (no visible screws on the side panels) The speakers would need to come back to the factory for the u... | |
| What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009? Tom,Thanks for your explanation. Best of luck to you in your pursuit of listening pleasure, wherever it takes you. Jeff | |
| What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009? Tom,My intent was not to slander anyone. My point was that you have a different perspective on how a system should sound than I and many of the other posters do, and that is fine. When I saw the components you had listed and the comments you state... | |
| What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009? Tom92602,I don't think that it is fair for you to blame the Bel Canto amplifiers for your dislike of the sound you heard in their room with our Pearls. When I saw your posting on the Asylum I was puzzled until I looked at your system description.h... | |
| LA Show Report In our room (Joseph Audio) we played $2300 speakers (the new RM7XL) driven by a Manley Stingray ($2300) and an Ayre CD player ($5k or so) and a VPI HRX/Soundsmith Strain gauge.The front end was pricey, but the speakers and amp were pretty affordab... | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons I was only quoting from the same source that was cited, since the earlier quote gave an impression that was different than the articles author intended. Musical realism is the goal of every high end audio designer.While visiting our local library ... | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons An even more telling part of the article regarding the group delay of a 8th order L-R crossover."Is It Audible?The conservative answer says it is not audible to the overwhelming majority of audio professionals. Under laboratory conditions, some pe... | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? Larry,Great post. In my opinion, the only manufacturer who really implements low order crossovers properly is Jim Thiel. His crossovers are complex, but he is much more advanced in his thinking than any other designer in that camp. If you took his... | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? Bigtee,I went into the speaker business because I believe we have something special to offer. I think if you look at our track record, "best sound at show" year after, "speaker of the year" excellent reviews, and a loyal group of Joseph Audio spea... | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? The speakers in our room were not the Pearls but a new model called the RM55LE. I am glad to hear that you noticed the excellent image focus of our design - something that low order fans often cite as a benefit of that approach! The sense of music... | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? There are far too many variables from one system to another for you to conclude that the crossover method is the root cause of the difference. Our speakers are used by many discerning professionals who know what live music sounds like, since they ... |
