The joule's are indeed getting better.Ryan insists that they don't break in , your ears do, but i think they are getting better with 100 hours on them.They are incredible.
I belong to the sun coast audiophile society , and have heard allot of really nice set-up's.The guys in the club are truly audiophile's ,with ears to match.I classify myself as a wannabe audiophile.So, a work in process , if you will.The system delite's me !
The real benefit of getting the joule's was, Ryan's advice on putting together a system that pulls everything together. Antipodes, BMC, Verastarr , and Vapor work together extremely well.
Gopher was part of the business are you in?
