| Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls I’m using Cardas Clear speaker cables with my Perspective 2’s. I bought them used from the Music Room. They sound excellent. | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ I own a pair of Joseph Audio Perspective II’s and I think they are excellent, full range speakers. Prof nailed the description of their sound and character and I’m not sure I can add more to his insightful and accurate analysis. My alternative... | |
| Amp(s) to go with Joseph Audio Pearls I am running a Luxman M-700u with a pair of Joseph Audio Perspective 2’s. Sounds great. Tried some other amps, but when I dropped the Luxman in, the search was over. You may want to move up to the M-900u’s for the Pearls. | |
| What's your favorite boutique speaker maker +1 for Joesph AudioPerspective 2’s are a perfect fit for my medium sized room. Tone, texture, detail, dynamics and scale are magnificent. Build quality is top notch and Jeff is a really nice person too. | |
| spend on the streamer or on the DAC ? I have the Schitt Yggrasil and a PS Audio Direct Stream w/ bridge 2 in two different systems. They are both excellent DAC’s. I slightly prefer the PS Direct Stream DAC, but that may just be the system, with my ears and preferences. When I listen... | |
| Best tube preamplifier for under $15k @bdp24 I have the EAR 868 in my second system driving a Luxman M700u. It’s a great preamp too! Sweet phono stage in that unit. | |
| Best tube preamplifier for under $15k EAR 912I came from a ARC Ref 1 and the EAR is a better sounding unit in my system, to my ears. A stunningly good piece of gear. Tone, texture, soundstage and PRaT are spot on. I have it driving an Einstein The Power Amp. Great combination. I liste... | |
| Wilson Audio for a 1600 sq ft space Correction on above post I made. You can stream into the Bartok with ethernet too. I didn’t realize it has streaming built in. It’s a very nice unit and on my short list for my next Streamer/Dac. I’m also looking closely at the Lumin X-1. Did yo... | |
| Wilson Audio for a 1600 sq ft space I use both Tidal and Qobuz. I prefer Qobuz for their unadulterated hi-rez files. MQA in Tidal is good too, some feel it modifies the audio file (I’ll stay out of that discussion), but either will work fine for your system. I have not heard the Bar... | |
| Escape From New York - The audio system! My friend has a Aurender feeding a Lyngdorf TDAI-2170 to Focal Sopra 1’s and it sounds stunning. The Lyngdorf is a fantastic 1 box solution. | |
| Wilson Audio for a 1600 sq ft space You have picked some very nice electronics. I don’t think you can go wrong with either of the Wilson’s. I usually stretch for the better one, so the regrets are put to rest. I second the REL sub recommendation. You also may want to consider a dCS ... | |
| Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers Perhaps a simple question:”Do you think it sounds better or looks better, in the new position?” | |
| Popular new/used SS stereo power amps under $2500? Arcam A85, if you can find one. A great all around amp. Very musical, smooth but quick. Plenty of detail, but not etched or harsh. I’ve owned one, for years, in my smaller system and still love it! | |
| Forced into Near Field Listening - which ProAc stand mount? The Response DB1’s are very nice. I’ve had them for a year now and I’m very happy with them. Very musical and sound good at modest volume. I usually listen in the 65 to 80 (max.) dB range. Downsized from the Response 5’s. Same house sound, but a ... | |
