Fake Audiophiles
What a terrible topic.  
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
Excellent,  ghasley!   I'm sure my local dealer will get the o/baby in.  If/when I hear them I'll of course post my impressions here.

@ghasley    Still enjoying your o/babies?  Any change in your impressions over time?   Looks like the O/Baby will be shown in Munich.

  70seradylan Main competitors would of course be a matter of personal taste. I haven't heard the O/baby, but I would think if you generally like the Devore O series sound - big and rich - Harbeth naturally come to mind (perhaps certain classic... 
Thiel Owners
@tomthiel Seems even (the late) Art Dudley noticed the cabinetry skill in Thiel speakers. I was just reading his review of the Volti Audio Vittoria speakers in which Art stated:   The build quality of my review pair, finished in bosse cedar,... 
Axpona 2022 what impressed you?
He is interesting and very dedicated to the helping out of people during their audio journey.   In a way that also seems to promulgate lots of nonsense.   
Local pick up only…
  I’ve sold quite a bit of my audio gear over the last couple of years - speakers, DACs, turntables etc. I always try to sell locally first (canuckaudiomart) saying local pick up preferred. I'll usually get a range of offers, many who want ship... 
Axpona 2022 what impressed you?
Mikey was not impressed.(1118) Why Audio Trade Shows are LAME !! - YouTube Man that guy is hard to watch (for me).   He may be a swell guy, but the way he comes off, he basically typifies the caricature of the opinionated audiophile loudmouth. ... 
Amir and Blind Testing
  I just did a blind test between my Benchmark LA4 preamp and my Conrad Johnson premier 16LS2 tubed preamp. Blind testing can be a hassle so I indulge in it fairly rarely, but I've done a few over the years.  Fortunately the Benchmark preamp mad... 
Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene Placement & Break-In?
  Sounds fantastic vdotman.

  ghasley, I appreciate your latest update.  You are out there in the Devore weeds sending missives from the front lines! Your description matches my expectations for these speakers. Though I'm curious: how deep do they seem to go in the bass?... 
Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene Placement & Break-In?
Thanks for the details vdotman! Wow back to the Pulsars.  Very nice.  What a deal. I'm also jealous of your time with the Graham Audio speakers.   I'm a fan of the classic Brit speakers - I own Spendor S3/5s and have owned Harbeth SuperHL5plus. ... 
Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene Placement & Break-In?
  Thanks for the response vdotman!  That's helpful info. Couple of things:  Aside from the bass issues, what did you like about the Perspectives? Any reason why you didn't just use the sub with the Perspectives?  What did you move on to?    
Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene Placement & Break-In?
@vdotman Oh man, that worries me to hear. I'd worried a bit from the Pulsar Graphene issues reported in this thread that maybe this would happen between the Original Perspectives to the graphene version as well.  Other Perspective Graphene owne... 
Does anyone have any recent experience with Kharma loudspeakers?
  Wow the Kharma DB9 S speakers are serious business.  You a playa now! :-) Congratulations!
