New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2

I’m going to leave my prior work on this subject here, and then stop. The OP deserves to have this thread focused on the original topic. Not my personal views on the reliability or lack of a particular reviewer.

and here we show he’s not sticking to his own claims:

and here is a great example of JA not understanding the data he’s’ looking at. NOT the first time:

Last posting I make in this thread. Anyone wanting to discuss, we need to take it to another thread out of courtesy.


As always, please please buy what you like. It's your money. Enjoying what JA enjoys won't upset me one bit.  Just don't ask me to support a claim he's all that knowledgeable or unbiased. He IS the bias.

I own the Perspective2s and will decide if a review is accurate after I read it.  I think everyone who hears them will love them. 

When it comes to speakers and electronics, JA measurements correlate to what he hears.  The Revel Salon2 speakers review indicated that the speaker is ruler flat (compared to other speakers) and sounds that way.  His review of two amps (I think one was a Cary amp) indicated that the tubed amp had 10%+ distortion at rated power, high levels of distortion at a few watts while the other amp was nearly perfect in measurement.  However, the reviewer found the tube amp to be more musically enjoyable.  He laid the cards on the table and let the listener determine if that's what he/she prefers.   I wouldn't trust reviews for purchasing speakers or electronics.  They are a guide though.  I wouldn't own Magicos, Wilsons or B&Ws and I've heard dozens of their models.  Absolute Sound loves Magicos.  

In the final analysis, I think all that’s important is whether a component sounds good ... distortion and other of JA's measurements be damned.

Minor note:
I noticed that the original impedance spec for the Perspectives was a minimum of 6 ohms, the new Persepective2 spec is 5.5 ohms minimum.
FWIW....
