| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? There is a short review of the PS Audio Direct Stream DAC in Stereophile. It is worth reading. | |
| Is Jim Smith's Book"Get Better Sound"Best Book ? I really like Jim’s book. If you are experienced in this hobby, it gives you that last 10%, the best 10% that makes big differences otherwise easily missed. Jim was gracious personally with his time at RMAF. | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 @astewart8944 I would take one step further. The Joseph Audio speakers respond well to the front end electronics. The better the front end, the better the music. They, however, are not capable, like any other speaker, of a fixing a flawed signal f... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 I own the Perspective2s and will decide if a review is accurate after I read it. I think everyone who hears them will love them. | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 My opinions, however, are completely reliable, as long as your room is the same size, you set up the speakers correctly and you use the same electronics. | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Interesting debate. I owned B&W 803Ds 20 years ago, too long ago to say anything meaningful about them now. Whatever the reviewers say about them, I have heard the new models at shows, and they do nothing for me. No review would make me cons... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 I do not know if they were clear reservations or minor complaints. Stereophile rated them Class A with a lower bass restriction, higher than the comparable Focals. | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Stereophile from Munich Audio 2019 on the Perspective2: This was my first sound demonstration at High End 2019, and it was a doozy: The soundstage was super-enormous and super-transparent. The bass was invisible until it appeared, and then it was ... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 From the Absolute Sound AXPONA repot on electronics: Best DemosDepends what you’re into...fully immersive, in-the-room presence, or the visceral impact of sonic thrills over transparency? MBL 101 Es or Børreson 05/Aavik Acoustics or the Synergisti... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 The bass is tighter, cleaner and better defined. I doubt this will present a problem for you, but I have no personal experience in that size room. Our room is 18’ x 35’ with 10’ ceilings. | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 My wife was listening to the new Perspective2s today, and I asked for her impression of the difference between the original Perspectives and the Perspective2s. Her reaction was more powerful and clearer. | |
| Decisions on standmounts: ATC, Dynaudio, ProAc, Sonus Faber In this price range, new, you should listen to the Ryan S610. In the used market, think about the Joseph Audio Pulsars. | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 @fleschler The fletcher Munson curve (ISO 226:2003) is the primary problem with low level listening. I have no scientific explanation why the perspective2s sound so much louder than the measured 2+ dB. I think this positively impacts lower level ... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 BTW, I have owned the USHER AUDIO CP-8571 II DIAMOND. It is a good speaker. The Perspective and the Perspective2 are significantly better. They are in a different league all together. | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Back on track: the horizontal off-axis response on the Perspective2s is excellent. My Perspective2s are in a large room used for multiple purposes. They sound great no master where you are sitting, standing or walking around. There sound-the-corn... |
