| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 I had very seriously contemplated buying second hand Josephs and decided I couldn't do it at this time, financially and for some other reasons. Just really bad timing for me.To take the sting out, some part of my rationalization was also adding u... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... Seeing this thread title bumped up reminded me: I recently had a chance to listen again to a pair of Magicos (M3 I believe) in a very nice listening room at a dealer, hooked up to massive Mcintosh amps.A variety of music was played, starting with... | |
| Manufacturers pushing their products and agenda in the forums. I certainly get the sentiments of the OP.It can be galling if a thread is invaded by manufacturers or salespeople practicing gauche levels of self promotion under the guise of "helping" or offering their valuable experience. (And some do have valu... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Mellow is not a good word to describe them. They are richer and simultaneously more detailed. They are more accurate and detailed, while being silky smooth and dynamic.Thanks again Mark! | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 soix,I was wondering exactly the same thing.I also wondered if perhaps the new Pulsars smooth out the slightly "overwarm mid bass" (as reported in Stereophile). One of the reasons I changed direction from the Pulsars to the Perspectives when audit... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 As I mentioned earlier, Mark would be a pretty valuable resource for threads like this, as he's the only one in a position to have compared the old version with the new Graphene versions.I look forward to any more detail Mar provides down the line... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Kenjit is extolling the virtues of a cheap LSA loudspeaker we heard them and they were indeed very good, how can we draw comparisons to other products in a similar price point that perform to a very high level without naming them? We go out of our... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 audiotroy,If someone speaks ill of the Paradigm speakers a thread predictably becomes an audiotroy-defends-paradigm thread, sprinkled with items you sell. For instance in this thread:Our current line up of high quality integrated amplifiers inclu... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 I’ve gone on record that I am for dealers contributing to the forum.But frankly its just a bummer how this turned in to another audiotroy thread, full of the usual pumping up of the Paradigm speakers and finding every opportunity to list more of h... | |
| Well maybe it IS my hearing bdp24,Yes audiology test are, or would be, sobering for many.I get tested pretty regularly. I'm 55, can hear up to 14k. (Good for my age, no doubt because I've worn earplugs for loud events since the 90's). Slight notch at 4k. Still, it's su... | |
| Your favourite Rush albums? Peart does have a reputation of being stand-offish. But he, and people close to him, insist this is as you say, a misconception about why this is so.But there's a big difference between being a privacy-loving person who isn't comfortable jawing w... | |
| Well maybe it IS my hearing Erik,Wait...you mean you experienced personal attacks just by daring to question accepted audiophile dogma about items like power cords?Welcome to the club.;-)Agreed. People should buy what they like.We also shouldn't feel personally aggrieved if... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 audiotroy,I don't begrudge your opinion about the Perspectives, or the Paradigm speakers at all. If the Paradigms sound better to you, even with cheaper amps, awesome! I found the Paradigm Personas to be a really excellent speaker.But in the sam... | |
| Your favourite Rush albums? tonykayYou may as well have written "it doesn’t matter where Peart was, he should have been in control of the weather so he could arrive on the scheduled time."Everyone "should be" at work on time all things being equal.But not all things are equa... | |
| Your favourite Rush albums? tonykay,Did you not read the circumstances causing Peart to be late? Weather problems and unforseen issues that you aren't aware of, and the problem with the telegram. That isn't 'arrogant," that's someone missing a show he wanted to play!Rush i... |
