| Is D-Sonics audio still in business Excellent! Please let us know your findings. Interested minds wanna know. | |
| Need to build a headphone system Audio46 was not much help. Bus have been a low point in their stocking cycle, and they are not going to open boxes of hi-end cams just for a listen (which I understand). I don’t understand. What does this mean? If brick n mortar stores are f... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective next steps @hilde45 I think that’s utter crap. If you’ve ever heard the Perspectives you know that just like with the Pulsars they punch way above their weight ant the problem is usually the room is to small. Maybe @goldprintaudio can chime in as I think h... | |
| Review of Ascend Acoustics’ ELX Tower Speakers (released 2022) In the end, as you say, the proof is up to the listeners’ ears. I would like to compare, for sure. I’ve written to Jeff Joseph but he so far has not told me where his dealers are, only whether or not I’m near a dealer. Yeah, unfortunately I’ve ... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? My ears never deceive me, but the brain that they are connected to often does. @unreceivedogma Heh heh, that’s a good one! | |
| Transparent Audio Digital Coax Cable I’d also upgrade the DAC first for many of the reasons stated above, then worry about the digital cable later. Best of luck. | |
| Can someone please help Here’s yet another 5 minutes I’ll never get back from a bot. Shame on me. This is getting even more pervasive here and very tiring as a member. I’m starting to lose interest in even being here as I’ve got better things to do rather than just wa... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? at the end of the day a listener has to choose what sounds preferable to them and makes their listening experience enjoyable. So as always, YMMV applies. @charles1dad I agree, but I also thought it important to point out that most high-end syst... | |
| advice for headphones? Hifiman Arya Stealths. What’s your budget? That’d be really nice to know. | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? No manufacturer — and I mean ZERO— uses any EQ in their audio systems at high-end audio shows. Why do you think that is? If Magico, Wilson, Joseph Audio, Rockport, Vandersteen, Audio Research, etc. don’t ever use EQ at shows that they pay a boatlo... | |
| Review of Ascend Acoustics’ ELX Tower Speakers (released 2022) A short review of the JA Profiles. You can put better drivers in a better cabinet, but in the end it’s in the crossover. And there’s magic in the JA Infinite-Slope crossover. https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/my-review-of-the-joseph-audio-p... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? I’ll reiterate, your problem is your Mac preamp. Its sound profile is exactly opposite of your sound preferences. My advice — buy something like this and if it doesn’t significantly improve your sound and maybe even negate the need for any EQ at a... | |
| Salk Future TBD Their should’ve been a succession plan in place. Think of Thiel, which was also a total fail in this regard. All owners of Salk speakers should now be worried about how they’ll get their speakers fixed should anything go wrong. That’s not a comfor... | |
| Review of Ascend Acoustics’ ELX Tower Speakers (released 2022) At this price level I would’ve taken a hard look at Joseph Audio Profiles. Their unique crossover makes them sound special, especially with respect to holographic imaging and pulling off an amazing disappearing act. But that’s just me, and I’m s... | |
