| What CDs to buy "Graceland" by Paul Simon. There's a lot to like on that album and recorded cleanly. | |
| Are Tube Buffers for real or even worth it ? I have a Peachtree Audio Grand Integrated X1 amp driving Joseph Audio Profile speakers. The amp has a built in "Bascomb King" dual tube buffer. The buffer is switch activated (on or off). It looks cool lit up but I can not perceive any sonic impr... | |
| Alternatives to Brick and Mortar Some of us live hours from any commercial airport and even further from a major city that would have high end dealerships at which to audition an array of competitive product lines. We have to either devote a huge amount of time and resources to s... | |
| Why No Love For Peachtree Audio? I don't use the tube buffer in my X-1 as it makes little, if any, difference in sound except on really bad source material. I hear no shrillness nor thin sound coming out of my JA speakers. The tone is full, smooth and has plenty of clean bass. T... | |
| Why No Love For Peachtree Audio? I had to have the manufacturer replace the volume control which has since worked flawlessly. I don't notice any thinness and certainly no brittleness in my system. Perhaps it's the JA Profile speakers beefing up and smoothing out the sound. | |
| What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why? When I was a young pup, my first "floor standing" speakers were a pair of used Wharfedale W70's with big, 12"+ woofers. I remember that when the cannons went off at the end of the 1812 Overture, walls shaked and people ran for cover! | |
| Most impressive small footprint speaker Joseph Audio Profile small, full range, very sweet. | |
| Please Help Me Understrand "Phase" Control Yeah, simple...(lol). | |
| Need Help With Diagnosing A Problem Interesting, the tech mentioned static electricity. I'm in the southern Blue Ridge Mountains, on the Georgia/North Carolina border. Not particularly dry like the Southwest, but it is winter and the humidity is low enough to cause some static ele... | |
| Need Help With Diagnosing A Problem They have replaced the volume control once before (for different reasons) and now say it checks out fine, but I may suggest that they do it again. but, oddly if it is the volume control, the problem only occurs when using the analog inputs (not t... | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? My humble, 50 year, journey includes these as well as some KLH, AR or Infinity that I can’t really remember much about:Lafayette Radio Electronics Minuets (excellent little bookshelf units)Wharfdale W70 (room shaking bass)Janzen Electrostatics (ea... | |
| Totem Forest Signature v. Joseph Audio Profile Thanks Nutty, I know your a Totem fan and it was a tough choice between the two, but I am pleased with the JA'a and was able to get a much better deal than what was available for a pair of Forest Sigs. | |
| Totem Forest Signature v. Joseph Audio Profile I am not depending upon these wires to fix any problems. I needed to replace my bi-wire cables which I will offer as part of a package when I sell my Mirage OMD-15 speakers which have bi-wire terminals. I found the Zu Mission cables at an attrac... | |
| Totem Forest Signature v. Joseph Audio Profile "burning in" will happen in your mind as you adjust to the sound. Prof, I wonder about the need for cables to "burn in". Zu, on their website, and written materials provided with the cables, suggest the necessity for 200 hours of burn in time... | |
| Totem Forest Signature v. Joseph Audio Profile The Profiles are hooked up and running, albeit using my old Luxman R115 and new cables. Even with this temporary system, I'm impressed with the clarity and accurate tone from the speakers. I still need to mess around a bit with the position of t... |
