I used to own the CS1.5's and loved them. I like the music in your face and ended up with the Theta gear up front. However, I tried many different CD players and CD/DAC combos. Surprisingly, the most musical CD player with tube-type sound and great clarity was the McIntosh 9009. I came close to buying it. Unfortunately, I have never seen one sold used. Maybe all owners just keep them.
Digital front end for Bryston/Thiels??
I am building a small system, 16x18' room with cathedral 12' ceilings. Current setup Bryston B60R integrated with Tara labs missing link jumpers, Thiel CS1.5s, with Transparent The Wave 100 and Link 100 cables. Currently have outdated Pioneer crap and looking for cdp to add some warmth and musicality to system.
ps. also considering adding a Rel Storm 3 to system, suggestions welcome from a rookie!!!
