| Any Experience with Audio Envy SP12? I received mine a few days ago. My initial impressions are: 1. The top end is crystal clear, with a lot of air surrounding instruments. 2. Soundstaging is three dimensional, front to back. In particular, I can hear the resonance of the recording... | |
| Problem with Cardas CPBP Binding Post Emailed Jeff Joseph. He replied today (a Sunday) and said that I just had to remove the bottom of the speaker cabinet to gain access to the Allen bolt on the binding post. Quick fix. Big shout out to Jeff Joseph for taking such great care of a cus... | |

| Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls @thr1961 I have spoken to Jeff Joseph about biwiring as I have a pair of Pulsars (v1). Jeff said that he really hears no difference with biwiring, and suggested using regular cables with a quality set of jumpers (he seems to like Cardas). | |
| Cheapest but good cables…. Audio Envy. I've been using their ICs and just ordered the speaker cable. Tremendous, open sound and a screaming value with excellent quality of construction. | |
| Is there anything better than live recordings? S*x is better. | |
| David Crosby R.I.P. @richardmathes Oy! | |
| David Crosby R.I.P. @richardmathes Seriously? The least talented? I disagree completely. He and McGuinn and Stills were equals on most every level. Granted, McGuinn sang lead for The Byrds so he was out front, but really, Crosby was right there with him on a talent l... | |
| David Crosby R.I.P. If you can find a copy of "Another Stoney Evening," an acoustic concert by Crosby & Nash circa 1971, then you will hear a very intimate performance that shows you just how great Crosby is/was. | |
| David Crosby R.I.P. I am very sad, indeed. ’Croz had one of the great voices and was a tremendous songwriter. Listening now to the MoFi SACD of "If I Could Only Remember My Name" in memoriam. RIP, ’Croz, and thanks for a great ride as part of my life’s soundtrack. | |
| Buyer anxiety Run, Forrest, Run! | |
| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! Does anyone remember Pink Floyd? Certainly, "Us and Them" and "Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Part 1)" are great system testers. And, your 20 year old self would be proud of those choices. | |
| Audio envy - dang! Just for sh*ts and giggles, I replaced my AE Studio Presitige ICs with my old Cardas Golden Reference (from CD to pre). When I put in the GR, they sucked the life out of the top end and, after about 6 bars of music, I couldn't stand it anymore. So... | |
| Which Line Level, Balanced Preamplifier? BAT VK-33 (non-SE), allows tube rolling and sounds terrific. | |
| RIP Jeff Beck Absolutely awful news. Was just listening to "Beck, Bogert, & Appice" today before hearing about it. R.I.P., Jeff, and thanks for the music. |
