| Have transports improved for Redbook CD playback? Celander,I have an Exemplar modded Oppo 83 that I play SACDs on. I couldn’t run it to my Schiit Gumby because it has no 2 channel output other than the rca, as I recall. Check your Oppo and the DAC; I’m not sure you can run the Oppo to it.Oppo DA... | |
| What used speakers raraely come up for sale @jmcgrogan2 i see the good doctor in NY is doing audio reviews now. The search for LF 1776 speakers has been likened to a witch hunt by some, but after a year, I’m not going to quit unless the boss fires me. | |
| Thiel Owners PS, Prof,did you note on EBay that someone was selling the coax driver for the 2.7/3.7 because they had to replace one under warranty and the color of the surround or something had changed. That individual bought an extra so they would match.Of c... | |
| Thiel Owners Prof,'I had a $999 sniping bid in, set to hit 4 sec before the auction of the SI1 sub integrator ended. I don't like bidding early and bidding prices up.i called and asked Rob about it. He suggested that the px02 and px05, with the correct chips... | |
| Thiel Owners I think Mike B here in Texas who just replaced the 2.4s he sold to me knows Gary. He's spoken about calling him with questions while I always just call or email Rob. Too bad the new guys trashed the old equipment Jim Thiel had put together to ma... | |
| 901 series 2 speakers I had a pair of AR2ax as my first speakers and they were among the early, great speakers. but in grad school was able to buy the 901I II's. No comparison for party sound. The 901s filled the room in a stone house with 2 1/2 ft thick stone walls ... | |
| Brightest but shortest artistic bursts in the sky Jeff Buckley I would agree but how does his demise connect to Parson's addiction. Both do share the trait of many more albums out now than in life.i would add Colwell Winfield Blues Band, a late 1960s true one album group but on par with early Fle... | |
| Thiel Owners Another nail? Did anyone see that Thiel is selling their TM3s at half price on Ebay? $1500 including stands. | |
| Thiel Owners Here you go, Janfant. It was a long weekend so I took pictures and posted my system. It's not much compared to what most contributors have built but I'm ok with it. I also did a panoramic shot with my iPhone to give everyone an idea how large t... | |
| Thiel Owners I wish you all as wonderful a weekend as we are having! | |
| Thiel Owners We hew had a great day of music listening. Attended the Dallas Symphony for a great Beethoven's 8th and a Straus Horn concerto featuring our first horn as soloist before leaving to assume first horn of the Berlin Philharmonic.When we arrived home... | |
| Thiel Owners Yes, my pxo2 shares the sub 38 hz signal with the S1. It wasn't until I started to expand my listening of 50s and 60s jazz that I felt I wanted to be sure I was getting the full timbre of the bass ryrhm. It's not like listening to Yes where a li... | |
| Thiel Owners Asking a little advice, if anyone has had the experience.As mentioned earlier, I'm playing 2.4s purchased from Mike (who had the bad shipping experience mentioned earlier with his "new SC6s") and using a Thiel px02 set up by Rob Gilliam to run a T... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant,my apologies for the misspelling above. I had that extra "n" lying around. It just sneaked in. | |
| Thiel Owners Janfant,my system is quite modest compared to all of those here. A Prima Luna preamp and amp to drive the study speakers which are PSB Imagine Bs and a Phase Linear 700 Series II rebuilt with White Oak innards and speaker protection. Sources my r... |
