New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
I own a pair of Joseph Audio Perspective2 Graphene speakers. I am breaking them in.    
Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers?
I use Rythmik F15HP and E15HP.  They are sealed designs and are very musical. Great value in the subwoofer market.  
BHK Sig. 250 ?
I own this amp and love it. It is a hybrid, so roll the tubes.

Have you heard the Joseph Audio Profile or Prism?  Lower price points and amazing performance.

@ashoka posted that the Pulsar was originally less than $5000, and Jeff Joseph raised the price after the positive reviews. This is not true. Pulsars were introduced at $7000 in 2009. A few years later, with no changes, the price increased by 10%...

If they do buy them, who cares? 
Has anybody tried Qobuz Streaming service?
Ok. I have reversed my conclusion:  MQA is better than Qobuz high resolution.  MQA is richer. My wife picked MQA immediately in a blind test. We agree. I am keeping both subscriptions.  
Product purchasing decisions based on manufacturer’s proximity
I never buy anything from China. Too many counterfeits and poor quality control. There are limited exceptions I would consider.  
Ugrade-itis - is there a cure?
As soon as I no longer regret saying, “lt cannot sound better than this.” 
What in your mind represents real technological advancement.
Significant improvement of DACs, combined with hi-resolution streaming from Tidal an Qobuz.  
What define "musicality" ? And what constitute "musicality" in audio ?
@n80. Thank you.I view musicality as puffery. It is like saying authentic Italian food or best pizza.
