Thiel Owners

I agree. The Viewpoints do engage quite nicely in a near-field setting. I rather enjoy NPR Tiny Desk concert series as well.

Happy Listening!

over on U.S. Audiomart there is a Sony ES SCD-1 player modded by the one and only Mr. Bill Thalmann. A wonderful opportunity to own a Classic by a true Gentleman of Audio. Located in Farmington CT.  By the end of this month, Mr. Thalmann will be Retired. May he enjoy his Golden years.

Happy Listening!

Bill exemplifies a dying breed - someone who knows musical technologies with fluency coupled to the requirements of the musical arts. He will be missed, and I don't know if he'll be replaced.

Bill has had the Thiel CS3 / 3.5 equalizer in his backlog, but alas, has run out of time to address it. But he did do his last Oppo 105 Music Technologies upgrade for me. It is wonderful and serves as my CD and SACD source at considerably higher level than either the stock Sony 9000ES or SCD-1 from Thiel Audio's sale.

I had met Bill in the way-back days when he was the manufacturing director of Conrad Johnson in their first two decades. But we lost touch on my hiatus from audio land. I really appreciate you recommending him to me; we have had a few years of enjoyable, productive interactions. I wish it could go on - All things must pass.

I highly recommend anything with Bill's signature on it.

My pleasure to connect you guys. From 2000-2010, was a magical decade for CD/SACD player owners to enjoy upgrading their wares by the likes of, Bill Thalmann, Dan Modwright, Matt Anker, Steve McCormack, Warren Gregorie.

I am sure that there are 1 or 2 others missing from my list. Sadly, Audiophiles are down to Modwright. Conrad Johnson nor McCormack is not planning to build another player anytime soon. The others are no longer involved in Audio modifications to my knowledge. Thank goodness we still have the DIY guys aside from those once large Operations.

Happy Listening!

Happy Friday! All
