New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
Thanks for that, Mark! Sounds exciting. I’m so glad your upgrade seems to be working out for you.And you are in a particularly rare position to comment. I doubt we'll see many others who have had the chance to live with both the original and the u... 
Thiel Owners
I've had the little Thiel 02s in my system for quite a while and they continued to enthrall me.  I still think they somehow get a sense of the exact differences in materials, and the way an instrument produces it's sound, than maybe anything else ...

pgastoneI know exactly what you mean about re-hooking the 3.7s up and realizing you can't do without them.I went through something like 2 years thinking I had to replace my 3.7s due to decor and ergonomic issues in my room (a bit too big).  But ev...

@firstnotThanks!

I think new woofers with slightly different properties pretty much mandate fiddling with the crossovers.I note that Jason S of Stereophile wrote in his brief impressions of the Perspectives 2 at Axopona,  that he found a familiar track sounded "fa...

Can anyone comment on the Joseph Audio room?  He was demoing the new version 2 of the floor standing Perspective speakers. 
I feel bad for speaker manufacturers
Anyway....Well soix, I do have sympathy for many speaker manufacturers (though not all of 'em...)But I admit I feel less sympathy for cable manufacturers for some of the reasons you bring up.   You can throw in many "tweaks" manufacturers in there...

Bunch of info here on what I presume to be the same or similar new SEAS graphene drivers:https://www.audioxpress.com/news/seas-announces-new-excel-graphene-woofer-series 
New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
markalarsen,Yes I know.  I just find it odd that IF the updates for the Perspectives go well beyond merely a new coating on the drivers, that that information isn't included in the announcement of the new Pulsar 2.I mean, audiophiles always want a... 
New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
I just read this announcement about the Perspective on Joseph Audio Facebook:April 12, 2019 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - WORLD PREMIERE - Perspective2 Graphene! Suite 1521 at the Axpona show. Building on the original Perspective design, the New Perspe... 
New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
Thanks for the info astewart!Ugh.   On one hand I was hoping Jeff would do an upgrade on the Perspectives as I've been angling to own a pair of Perspectives.  Was about to buy a pair in the summer when tragedy hit.Now that he's updated them, befor... 
I feel bad for speaker manufacturers
soix,I sort of half agree.It’s clear that at least some portion of audiophiles don’t really grasp the difficulties and costs associated with running a speaker company.And that what seem like some high prices are actually justified when you underst... 
Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner
Will give more detail later, but so far I'm awfully glad I went this route vs something like a VPI, Okki Nokki or other machines.  This machine really suites my needs.  Drop record in, press button and walk away, return to US cleaned and dried rec... 
Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner
I received my Degritter yesterday.I've got it up and running, just beginning to clean records.  So far so good!
