| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 I read it differently. Perhaps Mark can provide clarification. | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 @markalarsen ... in what way do you prefer the original Pulsars over the Graphene 2 Pulsars? Since you appear to like the Graphene 2 Perspectives over the originals, why wouldn't the same be true of the newer Pulsars? | |
| Need to replace a BAT VK200 amp with a smaller and lighter but with equal sound quality. I would get a BAT 225se. At 150 wpc, it's plenty powerful, and the sound is superb. | |

| why do hi-end fuses keep blowing, while std don't? I’m old school ... if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. You had no problem with the stock fuse, but did with the hi-fi fuse. What does that tell you? There may, indeed, have been an objective issue with the tube, but I think this whole hi-fi fuse thin... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 @markalarsen ... Mark, did you get your original Perspectives upgraded or did you purchase new ones? Also, on a percentage basis, how much of an improvement was there over the original Perspectives? When it comes to audio equipment, I try to be co... | |
| Switched outlet for power amp @jea48 ... it's amazing how much diversity of opinion there is on this subject. It makes for voluminous reading. I agree that the power switch likely will outlast me, and have discovered that keeping the amp on perennially likely could result in e... | |
| Switched outlet for power amp I've given up on the switched outlet concept, amd have decided to follow the designer's instructions to turn it on and off. | |
| Faint hum.... If the hum is coming from the speakers and not from the unit itself, then it is likely a ground loop. | |
| Switched outlet for power amp @tablejockey ... no offense taken. It’s all good and you were correct ... in retrospect, I really did ask somewhat of a dumb question; however, since the amp is brand new, I’m still in that early "OMG" period of paranoia. I trust that, too, shall ... | |
| Switched outlet for power amp @tablejockey ... No, he didn't. He prefaced it politely, respectfully, and without sarcasm. | |
| Switched outlet for power amp Well, I took the advice and asked the designer of the amp. Here's his response ... "Just turn it ON when using, then turn OFF. You might turn it on a few minutes earlier, but even that I don't think is required." As an audiophile, simplicity elud... | |
| Switched outlet for power amp My amp has neither a trigger nor a standby mode. So, I guess it will be push on, push off. | |
| Getting new Preamp Just my $0.02, but there is absolutely no logical reason for a modern power amp to have less than a 47K Ohm input impedance. A lower input impedance makes it very difficult to mate a preamp (particularly from a different manufacturer) to drive the... | |
| Switched outlet for power amp @sleepwalker65 ... I may have been unclear in my initial post. The amp does have a mute/soft start circuit of its own ... the switched outlet does not. I am curious as to whether using the amp through a switched outlet is advisable. Sorry for my l... |
