| 30w class A amp for Joseph Audio perspective 2? Jeff Joseph told me that I should use an amp of at least 60wpc with my Pulsars. I can’t imagine that you could get away with lower wattage with the larger Perspectives. | |
| Balanced Audio Technology MK-30 tubes. Alternative to Sovtek 6922 I think you mean a "VK-30" and not an "MK." | |
| How do you know what room treatments to use? My converted bedroom (10x9x8) sounded like cr*p. It was just awful. I called GIK and sent them pictures of my room. They made several suggestions which I incorporated into the room. It was transformative. My room, despite its dimensions, now sound... | |
| Upgrade Question Having lived with the Delta Sigma for such a long time, I am certainly open to trying R2R. I may go for a relatively inexpensive one, such as a Denafrips Ares II, just to give it a try and see what it’s all about. I wish I could borrow one, but th... | |

| Amps for Joseph Audio Pulsar 2's? I've got the JA Pulsars (v1) and have been using them to great satisfaction with a BAT 225se. | |
| Audio envy - dang! @lalitk Would you please describe the sound of the SP9's? Thanks. | |

| Audio envy - dang! I use the AE O’Nestian IC’s between my amp and preamp, and I use the Studio Prestige for my CDP, FM Tuner, and Subwoofer. They sound absolutely terrific, and are far better than the Cardas GR IC’s they replaced, which are 3x to 4x the price of the... | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? I’ll be a contrarian here ... the most COST EFFECTIVE thing I’ve done is to have gotten off of the upgrade roller coaster years ago. I now tend to keep equipment for a very long time and have stopped looking for the latest and greatest. It’s worke... | |
