| Thiel Owners When New Thiel took the reins, Gary held out for Phase Coherence in the new products. He was over-ridden by the New Team, including Steve DeFuria and Bob Brown who had been long-term Thiel supporters and associates. They said that Gary had "dr... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel does that mean that you’ve had a chance to evaluate bi-wire? | |
| Thiel Owners Those SEs are from the same seller mine were from, similar price. They appear to be in slightly better condition but hard to know from the pics. Mine were rougher than described by TMR and the pics didn’t show all the cabinet flaws.The vermillion ... | |

| Thiel Owners Using Roon to explore new music and parts of my collection long neglected. Playing some Dixie Chicks not heard since I had the Vandy 2s and Ayre AX-7. Just wow! These modified 2.4s plus AX-5 are superb. :chefs kiss:Thanks again, Tom Thiel! | |

| Calling all Vandersteen Fans Don't know about the 1Ci but the 2Ce Sig II has the 3A Sig tweeter (also, same as original Quattro). See here: https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=38u42p6hcui5ssvle2oafc8s43&topic=100766.msg10174...For the money, I haven't heard an... | |

| Clarity CMR vs Jantzen Alumen Z caps humblehomemadehifi man says they work well together but maybe you already know that? | |
| Caps for tweeters under $300 FWIW, I recently built new XOs for my Thiels using Clarity CSA. A big step forward in terms of resolution and transparency. Still, I wanted just a bit more warmth. I considered different bypasses such as Audyn or Jupiter. But I first replaced the ... |
