CES 2012 – Joseph Audio, Bel Canto, Cardas


Don’t think music was playing here on this system of Unison Research ‘Giro’ turntable, Bel Canto electronics, Running Springs Audio power conditioner, Harmonic Resolution Systems SXR equipment rack, Cardas cabling, and Joseph Audio’s Pearl 2 loudspeakers.

I’ll have you all know that I had to learn how to spell ‘Joeseph’ for this post. That it should be actually spelled ‘Joseph’ came as one of those surprises in life. You know, like … “really? no way!” Kind of like that people really eat peanut butter and olive sandwiches.

I think these last 2 photos are some of the coolest in the report so far. Hope these capture what the original displayed – with all the reflections of the marble parquet floor causing the speakers to kind of blend-into / sprout-up-out-of the floor.
