Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars
@bubingaI had MBL 121s and now own the Joseph Perspectives.I’m sure I have a pretty good idea which areas you thought the MBLs exceeded the Pulsars, but I’m curious what parts of the Pulsar sound you liked better than your MBLs? 
Thiel Owners
mr_billIf you search this thread you’ll see a lot from me comparing the 2.7 to the 3.7s. I owned both at the same time for a while and ultimately went with the 2.7 as it’s smaller size fit better aesthetically in my room. (Plus to my eyes the 2.7s... 
Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
bubinga What do you think is actually happening when you raise your cables from your floor?   What was affecting the sound with the cables on the floor?  How?  With what effects?If for instance you are posting some constant sonic effect on the sig...

... it keeps going ...If I didn’t see the tree fall ... does it exist? If I can’t hear ... hear no evil, see no evil. Maybe my posts are in a sort of superposition to your own, and if you never look at them or comment on mine, they won’t exist.But... 
Thought My Harbeth M40.1's Were Forever Speakers - Guess Not
Harbeth are one of my favorite speakers (I owned the SuperHL5plus for a while). I’ve heard the 40.2s a couple times and recently got a nice audition of them at a store (in a big room).Before I put on my tracks they played a track with a female sin...

andy, your dedication to following my posts, and the amount of time you spend commentating on them,  has me blushing!When my forum essays are finally collected in to book form, you'll be first on my Christmas list!   (Maybe you could even write th...

Cleeds,prof I love the sound of my CJ tube amplification ... Never done a "blind test" ... I swoon over the sound of my "crazy expensive" (to the average joe), cartridge etc. No talk of blind testing, all subjective. That’s quite a surprise, give...

wyoboy,I suggest you’ve misdiagnosed the situation.OK so initially you were happy in your subjective beliefs but some of your friends convinced you that you shouldn’t believe what you did so you left your happy bubble in order to prove that being ... 
Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
nonoise,You have again missed the point.  Clearly the issue here as been the contrast between those who stick to a purely "subjective" paradigm where one's own subjective assessment is the ultimate arbiter of any audio claim, vs those who hold som...

Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
@nonoiseI think there is an awful lot of projection from naysayers as of late. They cling to certain bias diagnosis (from afar) and neglect the ones they fall victim to.Do you think I am a "naysayer" who fits your description?If so, could you expl...

I say show me the measurement.  NOT a subjective impossible to quantify.. "my ears or my ear "training" or my sense of hearing are more evolved an better than yours" like most claim. Careful waving around demands like that.  Asking an audiophil...

Trust your ears and leave the arguments to the know it alls.So when someone says "Given the well known problem of sighted bias, how do you know you really heard what you think you heard?"Your response is: "Because I JUST KNOW WHAT I HEARD. So I ca...

andy,We all come here to read other people's points of view and express our own as it may be.  Why would your many posts, or anyone else's,  be any less "self-indulgent?"   Seems a distinction without distinction.Though you also seem to be saying ...
