Joseph Audio dealer in the northeast? I always enjoyed Joseph speakers at shows (back when we had shows), and read the many good reviews, so I sent a couple of emails over the years asking about any dealers in California. Never heard anything, so I moved on. | |

Looking for best streamer without DAC under $3500 Stereophile reviewed a couple of servers in the two most recent issues, Innous Statement and Wolf something or other, with the cheapest being about $10,000. Both of them were compared to the Roon Nucleus+ with an upgraded power supply - total cost... | |
Goldmund, not much inside, but ultra expensive. Here's Srajan Ebaen's answer in his Goldmund Telos 360 amp review a while back.Conclusion. Responsible journalism can't skim over a basic fact. Goldmund's Telos 360 are very expensive. For that they're quite empty inside and materially of low weig... |
