| The order of getting more/better bass My first tip for beginning enthusiasts would be to totally ignore your original post! | |
| Should I buy used Thiel CS5 I dont care what quality of parts you put in this crossover it is an abomination in terms of complexity and total number of parts. Seems to be a very complex way to approach whatever problem Mr Thiel was attempting to solve. When I look at a cross... | |
| Should I buy used Thiel CS5 If you like the Thiel house sound perhaps but you need to familiarize yourself with this sound before buying. One look at the crossover on this speaker could scare the hell out of any prospective buyer. The tweeter on these older Thiels some find ... | |
| A used pair can be had for $80.00 I remember these as well. Not very good even by "back in the day" standards. | |
| What CD Transports Provide the Most Detail? Well I have never heard good digital sound like good analog regardless of the transport used, but mofi makes a good point. To me the CEC was the equal in all PRAT related areas, but presented these aspects in a significantly a more organic fashion... | |

| Help in minimizing hiss I doubt that new tubes will help, but give it a try. You can do much better than the Freya but you will most likely have to spend more money. In my experience your cables will not help this problem one bit. | |
| Art Dudley's column in November Stereophile Finally read the entire article slowly and with as much interest as I could muster and I think this piece is a waste of space. Atdavid is being too kind in his criticism. | |
| Audio hobby is like tasting wine. Well the narrative seems to be that old black and brown guys dont have any money. | |
| Help in minimizing hiss Most likely the culprit is your Schiit Freya. Obviously your high efficiency speakers dont help this situation. If it is the Freya I doubt there is much you can do to remedy this situation. | |
| Art Dudley's column in November Stereophile I didnt read the article slowly but I dont recall him mentioning the distinct advantages of sealed enclosures. I also object to him mentioning the recommended components list as some sort of objective tome by which you can judge anything. I would ... | |
| What have other owners of Tekton Design Ulfberht Speakers discovered? I love the line "because of Eric's breakthrough...." Once again teajay tries to balance on the edge of a razor. |
