Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls
@prof it's been almost 5 days since you unpacked your updated Prospectives so what's the verdict?   
Warm and accurate bookshelves that can handle volume
@akg_ca Harbeths really? Yes they are fine sounding BUT turn up the vol and they fall apart, at least in my experience. Local dealer sell them so have heard them many times.   
phono preamp?
Had a JC3+ awhile back found it noisy.....sold it fairly quickly and no regrets  
Marten Parker Quintet and the Marten Parker Trio Diamond version...if you could choose ?
I had enquired about the Marten Parker Duo's many months back but never heard back from anyone.....this after 4 or 5 emails. How do these companies stay in business?   
Anyone know anything about Deal Home Audio in Batam, Indonesia? Real or fake?
Scam scam scam.....run run run  
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
Yeah if YOU really think that you will be able to tell how these speakers will sound in YOUR room via  YouTube video then best to you. Tell us all how this works out    
Buyer anxiety
Luckily you didn't fall for the scam  
analog upgrade suggestions needed

Convincing your local dealer to let you try speakers at home
@lonemountain curious if companies did home demos then why need a dealer network? Are you suggesting a company that is located in CA ship a speaker to someone in FL then fly out to do the setup? I would imagine this type of scenario would raise th... 
What is the best way to clean Vinyl?
Agree US do a great job at cleaning BUT are a PITA to use. Bought a Kirmuss but after a short time it sat unused. Sold it and bought a Keith Monks and have been very happy    
Wilson to Tekton to ????
I've heard the Tekton's and they were ok, very dynamic but didn't do micro dynamics well. Hated the looks, showed my wife who told me if they ever came into our home she would be sure to use one as my coffin!  
Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor?
@plaw curious what was it about Acora speakers you were glad that they didn't have what you wanted? Heard them 3 times at Axpona and thought they sounded spectacular but they were in a HUGE room so hard to judge what they might do in one's own roo...
