| Thiel Owners I just ordered some Audyn Q4 capacitors to replace all the electrolytic one originally installed on my CS 3.6, in detail, four 100 uF/100v and one 66 uF/100VThat is fantastic, please let us know the sonic results. I suggest you also upgrade the re... | |
| Thiel Owners l recommend evaluating any amp (for Thiel speakers) by its ability to sustain a 2 ohm load. I’ve had great success driving my Thiels with Ayre. I used an AX-7e to drive CS 1.6s and am now using an AX-5 Twenty to drive CS 2.4 SEs. The 7 is rated a... | |
| Thiel Owners @thosb only on reputation, i would rank them BAT>Classe>>>Sunfire. Good luck | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel looking forward to pressing my Multicap bypasses into service :) | |
| Thiel Owners @last_lemming Soundstage/ultra audio and feel the music both reviewed the SE version albeit they did not directly compare to the standard version. The only difference related to SQ was two capacitors in the coax feed. These are Clarity Cap SAs whi... | |
| Amp upgrade from Ayre V-5xe Ayre has been candid about the origins of the diamond circuit. Not sure your point about “perfected” but my snarkmeter is ringing. | |
| Amp upgrade from Ayre V-5xe reports of the non 20 version shutting down on heat protection.Well, that’s compelling evidence of a problem that needed to be fixed but the Twenty version is so much more than addressing excess heat. And it’s obvious on face value that they did n... | |
| Amp upgrade from Ayre V-5xe one of the reasons Ayre made quick update ( twenty version) of his diamond output amps, is because they had trouble with overheatingI don’t think that’s quite right, certainly not the full story. Yes, the originals ran hot but what evidence do yo... | |
| Thiel Owners I'm less inclined to try the expensive AyreJust from the price points I wouldn’t think to match MXRs with CS2.4s, but I bet they would sound fantastic. Even more so with a Tom Thiel modded crossover. To repeat what I’ve written elsewhere in this t... | |
| Thiel Owners I have two levels of upgrade specified for each of those first two products. Hi Tomsounds like your plans keep evolving. Can’t wait for a report. Didn’t know the Cornell Dubiliers were back on your radar. Hope they don’t obsolete my RTX! | |
| Amp upgrade from Ayre V-5xe I bet you’ll be happy! | |
| Thiel Owners break-in is something that many engineering-oriented observers dismiss as voodoo or make-believe or user acclimation. From the very beginning, we perceived its reality beyond question, but have never developed any definitive causal narrativeeyond ... | |
| Apollo R + Codex v. different CDP or Ayre QX I currently have an Ayre AX-7e and a Codex and they do sound great together, but the EX-8 is better. Please say more. In what way(s) is the EX-8 better? | |
| Thiel Owners @prof How often do you swap connections? Spade connection is tough to beat for a solid transmission of the signal. Set it and forget it. | |
| Thiel 2.4 Are the 2.4s at that price a good deal or would I be better looking elsewhere?Well, I seriously doubt you will find anything new at that price point with equivalent SQ. I bought CS2.4SEs a few months ago and have been *very* happy. I was consideri... |
