| Thiel Owners Hello all!This past weekend, I finally got a chance to hook up the second ARC D240 MKII amp to my system. In bridged-mono mode, the amps effectively double their power to 480 watts/each at 8 ohms...very powerful indeed! This was immediately notice... | |
| Thiel Owners @nkonor & @rascs:How does Spectral's high-bandwidth, ultra fast designs manifest themselves in the final sound that one hears from the system? Again, I have not as yet had the pleasure of listening to a Spectral system, but my intrigue grows ... | |
| Thiel Owners I, too, am interested to hear more about the Spectral-Thiel experience...really, more about Spectral period! Have to admit, Spectral was a brand I knew nothing about until I jumped back into the hobby full force about 4 years ago. Since then, I do... | |
| Thiel Owners Hello fellow Thiel owners!Just wanted to give you all an update on my system: today, I was finally able to secure a second ARC D240 MKII ss amp to go with my current one. As an added plus, I bought it locally from a fellow Thiel owner (he has min... | |
| Thiel Owners @solobone22 Hello!Thanks for sharing your experience...especially considering Bel Canto’s amps are definitely on my short list of auditioning. I may have to adjust my thinking as I am primarily looking at D-amplification from an efficiency standpo... | |
| Thiel Owners Hello all...it’s been a while since I last posted, but I have finally caught up with the 9 (!) pages of forum posts since I last visited. Kudos to JAfant for starting such a wonderfully informative, collaborative & civil discussion on our amaz... | |
| Thiel Owners Hello all!Anyone here have any experience or thoughts on Class D amplification with our Thiels? As I continue to wait and research my eventual move to monoblocks, I must admit, the thought of something from Bel Canto, Theta Digital, Jeff Rowland, ... | |
| Thiel Owners @ bighempinFrom my personal experience of hearing my friend's all Vincent system, I can say that their tubed & hybrid phono preamp models sound great...way better than their reasonable prices would suggest. They're built extremely well & ... | |
| Thiel Owners Hello all!I just wanted to chime in on the cable discussion as I am a bit of an outlier as well. Like several of you, I am using Audioquest RCA interconnects (Golden Gate) on my front-end sources (ARC PH-3 tube phono preamp, Bluesound Vault 2 net... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant Yes...I am quite happy with my ARC gear! However, I do have to admit that if I ever decide to move to another brand, it would be to Pass...I've heard several systems driven by Nelson Pass' gear and every time, I walk away working out the ... | |
| Thiel Owners One of the greatest pleasures for me in our Hi-Fi hobby is when you listen to something you thought you know intimately well, only to discover nuances and details you never knew where there, or in this case, never truly appreciated. This just hap... | |
| Thiel Owners Hello all & Thank You so much for the incredible input! Looks like my initial thoughts of increased performance are seconded by you all, while my fear of potentially damaging my Thiels was not as big of an issue as I thought.I will definitely... | |
| Thiel Owners Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I last posted, but have enjoyed keeping up on the discussion and am so very impressed at the vibrant community of Thiel owners and fans we have here!I need some advice: I have been looking to add a second A... | |
| Advice Needed: Bluesound Node vs Vault Hello! I have the Bluesound Vault 2 and have been extremely happy...but, more impressed...by it ever since I bought it this past April. The happy part is in that it does everything my dealer and Bluesound said it would do. The impressive part is t... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi Tom,I managed to track down the previous owner of my 3.5’s, which I bought from a vintage audio dealer/repair shop. He was the second owner, having moved on from them to 3.7’s. He is also the original owner of CS5’s that make up his big-room sy... |
