Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
thyname,   Sorry, but humor/sarcasm often doesn’t translate on the web (since what some people will say sarcastically, others will say seriously). Could you be more clear about the point you are making?  
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
  thyname, I don't think you've seen my posts on ASR then. Much of my recent posting has been arguing for the use of subjective impressions and descriptive terminology - basically how audiophiles and audio writers have communicated about sound q... 
Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls
Forum member: @astewart8944  Had the Perspectives and upgraded to the Pearls.  He's done side by side comparisons.  We've discussed it in messages.  Perhaps he'll chime in. In a nutshell his findings were the Pearls had a more solid bottom end,... 
Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls
stereo5, Having done tons of research on the Joseph Speakers while I was deciding whether to buy, I looked over years of reviews, user reports, show reports, and audiophile impressions. I'm not sure I've seen a speaker manufacture get as much un... 
Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls
  grannyring, the Perspectives were measured to around 84dB sensitivity at Stereophile, with a generally even "tube friendly" impedance.   The Joseph speakers had long used a proprietary "infinite slope" crossover design (created by Richard Mod... 
Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls
Actually the Pearls seemed fairly modest in size and proportion.  Especially for a flagship speaker!   They don't feel dominating at all.  But then, Joseph Audio is known for packing a bigger sound in to smaller speakers.   I can see them fitting ... 
Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls
FWIW... I was at my Joseph Dealer's store yesterday dropping my Perspectives off, to be shipped for the graphene driver upgrade. To my surprise they had the Pearls in the store. Hadn't seen them there before. They were not playing but were set ... 
Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls
@jafant Where do you think a lot of the parts inside speakers made in the US come from? Stoopid reasoning. Yeah, unless it’s some sort of political posture, it is pretty silly.   (In fact, given what you wrote, even as a political statement, ... 
Devore O vs Audionote
FWIW...I included my impression of my audio note speaker audition in my big "contemplating Devore speakers" thread. In a nutshell I find both have a similar "organic" tone and texture. The way the bow and a string is texturally present and you ge... 
Qln, Joseph Audio, Audiovector, Marten, or Canton...?
@thr1961  That's great to hear!  I look forward to your report on your listening! I'm sending my original Perspectives out this week for the graphene upgrade. I've never heard anyone with a bad word to say about the Perspectives.  But of cours... 
What covid research can teach us about audio measurements.
erik, But that is a pretty vague claim. If for instance someone is measuring a cable, or an AC cable, or a USB cable, and finding "there is no difference in the signal"...and someone wants to say "Actually, you are missing something" it behoove... 
What covid research can teach us about audio measurements.
  @erik_squires  The appeal to the old "science doesn't know everything yet" is one used as a partial justification by every pseudo-scientific/supernatural/fringe belief system. It's an exceedingly weak justification for believing in dubious id... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
  ^^ Did someone wake up sarcastic this morning?  ;-)    
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
Thanks boys.  As you can see, some things take a while for me :-) Speaking of which I couldn't send my speakers out today as planned.  Hopefully within the next week. I'm actually not going to be doing anything like a direct comparison between t... 
Qln, Joseph Audio, Audiovector, Marten, or Canton...?
  I would really like to hear the Perlisten speakers (terrible name!) I actually inquired about their smaller stand mounted s5m speakers and was frankly shocked at the price:  $18,500 CAD !!! (pre-tax) Waaay to rich for my blood, especially for...
