| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage Ditto - Fritz Loudspeakers could suit. Well built, good bass extension, reasonably priced, very spacious. I also like the BBC heritage loudspeakers, especially those from Graham Audio. Derek Hughes is a very accomplished designer/engineer. | |
| The new dynamic in speaker pricing Holy Grail, End Game, such descriptions are used frequently to describe ultra high end audio gear. Those who are familiar with jays’ audio lab get a steady diet of his latest and greatest. I enjoy jay’s channel, but only for entertainment. The Abs... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ Apples vs oranges. The Harbeths favor that British sound typically characterized by a wonderfully clear but slightly mellow midrange while the JA’s are all about speed, transparency and soundstage; not as meaty as the Harbeths through the midband.... | |
| Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism I've heard tapioca pudding constrained in a zip-lock baggie is also quite good (to eat). | |
| Just my observation - seems like there is less listed on AG Audiogon’s business model seems to have changed where they are no longer favoring the hobbyist, with a great number of listings now coming from dealers with e-stores linked, such as TMR and similar, although TMR appears to be the most prolific.

| Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene Placement & Break-In? Gene Rubin is a Graham dealer on the west coast. I got turned onto them by a guy I know in NC who had a pair of LS6’s and had very positive things to say about them. I subsequently bought a pair on USAM. Did the same with the LS5/9’s which were po... | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene Placement & Break-In? I bought the Perspective2’s as the ubiquitous end-game speakers. I didn’t have the subs at the time as I didn’t think I needed them. Aside from the bass node issue that occurred less than 10% of the time (but enough to be irritating, especially gi... | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene Placement & Break-In? It’s not unique to the Perspective2’s. It’s my room which has a pretty prominent bass node issue.

| I want to move from Rega Planar 6 help me to pick a new turntable I had the Rega Planar P6 with the Ania MC cartridge that never came to life creating an emotional connection for me in my system. I sold it and bought a VPI Scout with an Ortofon 2M Blue. Sounded okay but again, it never blossomed in my system. So... | |
| Russian tube supply issues So much silliness! Folks have all this concern over tubes from Russia and how their availability impacts this or that, rather than the innocent people in harms way who are the real victims. | |
