| Thiel Owners Hello again, Thanks for those who posted in response to my tube power question. BTW, I ended up buying a Mac7200. It is SS with 200 watts and is stable for the 3.6 load. It has a phonostage and DAC...that was a deciding factor. I was an ARC guy, ... | |
| room treatment gurus, please Thanks for all the suggestions. Looks like I have some research to do. | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant, Nothing! Just my pair of 3.6. I want to get an integrated tube amp, Cardas Clear or Cardas Clear Beyond for cables, and something to stream with. Budget is 10-12 grand CAN. I don't buy new. Future will be CS6s, but not now. Used to have... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi, I used to have a pretty great analog system driving a pair of 3.6s. I was powering them with 300 watts SS. I had to get rid of that system, except the speakers of course. In the meantime I was listening to a pair of 1.6 driven by a Conrad Joh... | |
| Thiel Owners Speaker cable question for Thiel lovers. My speaker cables are Cardas Golden Cross. Interconnects are Cardas Clear. I bought the Golden Cross cables back in the day when I could not afford the electronics needed to tame my Thiel 3.6 highs. Might a... | |
| Ineed some help with a simple math equation Dave,I agree. I play vinyl using a Clearaudio Stradivari II cartridge on a their Performance SE via an ARC PH8. I want music from my main system is a physical in-your-chest experience. | |
| Ineed some help with a simple math equation Almarg, Kijanki, eric_squires, gs5556, Jafant, bpoletti. Thanks for weighing in. I appreciate it, as I have a decent technical mind, but with sound and waves I'd say I'm out to lunch. Plus, I think the math just got harder. Here is some more info.... | |
| Albums you can listen too all the way through and it's all good OMG! Was anyone alive in 1976? I can't list all the albums as I know them by their covers, not their names. But here is a list of bands. All fist albums are great, and many, like the Clash, were great throughout their careers.The clashPatti SmithT... | |
| I'm happy but I want more, more, more Thanks for all your time spent offering your ideas. I purposely didn't state what I was looking for for three reasons: I wanted opinions regarding my system's shortcomings; I don't like to limit responses when I'm not sure what question I should b... | |
| I'm happy but I want more, more, more Tooblue. It's an analogue system only. Every time I've upgrade I am astounded by the amount of music on the record that I didn't get before I upgraded. In my mind, there is always a little bit more music than you previously thought. I agree, phono... | |
| Conrad Johnson Et3se vs ARC LS 17se. Need Comaprisons please! I have a ARC PH5 phono stage, so I am somewhat familiar with the CJ (my current preamp) and ARC "sounds." I know CJ has a reputation for being warm and ARC has a reputation for being more neutral. But I also know that both machines have been laude... | |
| I'm in a preamp pickle: ARC Ref 1 VS CJ 17LS Thanks for your opinions. I think I'll look for a CJ.Although I have heard that the ARC stuff can be harsh when listening for extended periods, I suppose I was just dreaming that they softened up with a "REFERENCE" preamp. | |
| What are the optimal percentages for analog system Thanks for your responses. It seems like I should start with upgrading the phonostage first. I'm looking to spend about $500 on a used unit. | |
| What are the optimal percentages for analog system OK, let's change the question. Where should most of the money go...cartridge, phonostage, or table? BTW I have a Rega P3, Grado gold and Bellari VP129. All budget gear. What is the right first step for an upgrade so I can get a bump in performance... |
