Thiel Owners


Guys-

I just scored a sweet pair of CS 2.4SE loudspeakers. Anyone else currently or previously owned this model?
Owners of the CS 2.4 or CS 2.7 are free to chime in as well. Thiel are excellent w/ both tubed or solid-state gear!

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

Welcome! Good to see you today. REL is a Sonic match for your 1.5 speakers.

A cross over point is 80Hz.  Between speaker and subwoofer. As above, consider implementing 2 subs and measure the main drop off frequency.

I look forward in reading more about your Musical taste and system.

I enjoyed reading your CD player thread as well.

 

Happy Listening!

Good to see you here again. Happy Birthday! indeed. Stay tuned until one of the Panel's PSC experts chimes in to address your query.  What other gear is in your System?

Excellent. The 2000’s decade was special for this Player. There were several companies that offered “mods” and upgrades. Do you know what kind of upgrades were performed on your SCD-1 ?

Good to read a preliminary report. I have no doubt that Rob treated your situation right.  Keep me posted with the break-in. Enjoy the Music.

Thank you for the update. No doubt that after 26 years, even the best of speakers lose some percentage of Sonics.  Good to read that a Soft Dome is a positive replacement per Rob at CSS.  We should have a session in the future.

Fantastic!  Utilizing various electronics/gear will be quite beneficial. Keep up the excellent work!

Nice system. The CS 2.4 speakers do require a medium size room.

AudiogoN classified section is where the Player is offered.

I want to inform you that there is a Sony SCD-1 offered by JS Audio Maryland.

This Audio establishment is very fine. The player is priced right as well.

The AYRE CX7 eMP is a very fine CD player. Nice score!

Agreed. AYRE is superb gear- Solid state with a Tubed soul.

My pleasure. Good to read that you are enjoying this fine day prior to officially kicking off Summer! The 50th Anniversary of "All Things Must Pass" is excellent. I purchased the CD set.

Which Cardas hookup wire did you use? Where did you use it?

Welcome! Good to see you here. Are you moving on to a different Speaker brand?

Or, moving up the Thiel Audio line-up?  I look forward in reading more about your Musical tastes and system.

Thank You for sharing your experience with Mr. Rob Gillum at CSS. Good to read that you are enjoying the new Coaxial.

Thank you for posting your test drives. No doubt that the Vitus Audio is a strong Integrated Amp.  I was thinking that you test drive an Audia Flight integrated ?

 

Happy Listening!

Thank you for the follow up with Audia Flight.

Very impressive for Vitus Audio. I wish this brand had strong representation here in America? Will you match the CD/SACD player as well?

 

Happy Listening!

Thank you for your undying passion in R&D. I realize that it must be tough to perform such duties without a dedicated Hot Rod Garage nor Studio. Bravo! We all are better off with your presence here.  I enjoy reading about Thiel Audio via History lessons as well. Your mind is extremely sharp.

 

Happy Listening!

Thank you for your DIY contributions as well. How is your Summer?

Awesome! That your joint venture with Bill Thalmann is developing out well. His reputation as a businessman and Audio technician is impeccable.  Great to have his presence on board.  Yes, this newest incarnation of Cardas is not the same as previous generations.  It is rumored that Cardas imports Copper from China for their designs. If true, this is an instant deal breaker for me.  Too bad because my AYRE gear is voiced with Cardas wire.  I simply do not believe that America has a copper shortage problem. Other than economic practices, I see no reason for these American Cable manufacturers dealing with China?

 

On a serious tip, We still have a few American Cable companies that continue to keep business practices “ in the family”. Rare in 2022 but true.

No doubt that the Vitus is a better performer that Gryphon integrated.

yes, AYRE and Thiel Audio are Sonic matches. My integrated does not run Hot in Twenty Series form and possesses plenty of Power as well.  I am certain that there are more powerful amps out there in comparison.

The presentation and sound is superb.
