| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) Yeesh. That video review was like "Bros Gone Wild." Pretty hard to get through and the sonic descriptions rather...lacking. There's actually a decent owner report in the comment section below the video, though, for someone who just received the... | |
| Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls Same for me: Banana plugs for my speaker cables, using the Cardas Banana-Spades adapter (given to my by my Joseph dealer). I change out my speakers often enough, and also even sometimes switch the connections to maintain polarity when I switc... | |
| Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls No prob. Hey, I'm always looking for plausible upgrades to my system. My Perspectives are currently at Joseph Audio being upgraded to the Graphene 2 version. I can't wait to get 'em back and give a listen. | |
| Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls @thr1961 If you are in to buying expensive cables I won’t be able to dissuade you. I won’t try. But as one of the few JA Perspective owners I’ll mention my own experience, as a data point you might consider: My Joseph Perspectives are in a ... | |
| Thiel Owners I'm about to try the Isoacoustics Gaia 2 for my Thiel 2.7s. I picked them up this week. My 2.7s sit on a thick shag rug, covering a sprung wood floor. I have tried all sorts of footers and isolation - Thiel spikes, Herbies gliders, cheap spr... | |
| 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... |
