| Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars? @philipwuI have been enamored with the Joseph speakers, started off wanting the Pulsars, moved to wanting the Perspectives.I auditioned tons of speakers including the Raidho X1s and C 1.2, which were being offered in a very good deal from my local... | |
| Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl LOL, looks like a bunch of us who enjoy vinyl just don't pass Mach12's Audiophile Purity Test. We better hand in our audiophile cards, pronto!I have listened to a (mostly) all digital system since the late 80's, and up until recently spent most o... | |
| Speaker Imaging - Do you hear a line, or do you hear an arc?? Aside from obvious caveats about the recording, I'd say generally:One of the ways I know a speaker is really imaging well and "disappearing" as a sound source, is when the soundstaging and imaging can remain deep from the center out to the speaker... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 The introduction of the new Pearl3 Graphene has garnered many enthusiastic notices.Here’s one from The Absolute Sound:http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/rocky-mountain-audio-fest-2019-loudspeakers/Best sound, cost-no-object:"I could have gon... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 @markalarsen Believe me that would be my plan if possible. The whole "it costs money" thing is sort of in the way, though.I hope I can count on audiogon member contribution to my up-coming Go-Fund-Me campaign to get me a pair of Perspectives! ;-)(... | |
| RMAF 2019! astewart8944,I’ve heard some vivid speakers sound pretty spectacular at a show.I auditioned the Oval, have heard the Kaya extensively, and have heard the Giyas at shows.For whatever reason, they never did sound quite as pleasing as the first time ... | |
| RMAF 2019! b_limoI haven’t heard a speaker that used Seas Excel drivers that I didn’t like. Same here. And I'm wary of crediting too much sound to a driver, given all the variables involved in making a speaker. And yet, speakers I've heard featuring certai... | |
| RMAF 2019! FWIW, since the Kayas were mentioned: I've heard the Vivid Kaya numerous times in a nice set up. They have that "vivid" sound to be sure: super clear, clean and extended. A "right there" immediacy and clarity. And they can rock when turned lou... | |
| ESL57 vs ESL63 I owned the 63s and quite liked them. But a few friends had the 57s and I actually liked the tone of the 57s more - a bit more present and warm sounding to my ear, and a bit more solid sounding. I’ve wanted to own the 57s for a long time, if only ... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 However JA price increases have gone too far for me.Same here.I’d planned on buying new Perspectives a year ago, had to wait, and now the Perspective 2s are too much too afford (much worse here in Canada). So my only hope at this point is snagging... | |
| ... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY? All stock power cords.Sounds tremendous! | |
| Thiel Owners beetlemaniaThough I brought up my own disgust with the cable industry to make a point about Thiel, I don't want to turn this thread in to a cable debate, as I'm sure you don't either. So I'll just say, that although I know your position on cables... | |
| Thiel Owners beetlemania, I’m afraid I don’t have the same cynical constitution to take the view "if someone can get away with ripping people off by taking lots of money under false pretenses...more power to them!"I actually care when people are ripped off.And... | |
| Thiel Owners "SOME of Jim's CENTRAL GOALS were verifiable by independent measurements ...";-) | |
| Your Forever Pieces? What and Why? I'd also add: My Thiel 02 and Spendor S3/5 speakers. I've had the Thiels (fairly cheap monitors put out when Thiel wasn't yet doing time/phase coherent designs), since '92, and the Spendors since around 2001. The 02 was my entry in to good soun... |
