How does Aragon 24k/2004 stack up to modern equip?
Hi all ! Hate to say this..but the Aragon 4004 mk2 was the worst sounding amp I have ever owned . As far as sound quality goes my little 40 wpc Rotel sounded much smoother . 
Efficient speakers with high powered ss amp?
Hi all ! One thing I have learned , you never know what it will sound like until you try it . I was driving a pair of Thiel 1.6's with a Cary V12 and it sounded nice ...especially in triode mode . Many folks were convinced it would never work , ba... 
Efficient speakers with high powered ss amp?
Hi all ! Get the Lore's and be done with it . I have run my Lore's with A 4 wpc tube amp up to a 200 wpc ss amp .A little different flavor from each amp , but great either way . If you are determined to spend $2000 - $3000 ...get the Pendragons in...

Hi all ! Yes the slp-03 has been beat up by some people. Mine sounds stellar . Kclone...what tubes did you put in it ? I used rca nos in mine. 
The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat
Hi all ! Of course the mat changes the sound . Anything you do either on top of or under the component changes the mechanical resonance and therefore the sound . Hate to go into this again but if you cant hear these things dont blame us that can . 
Changer
Hi all ! Thanks for the responses . Think I will look for a new H.K or Sony on ebay . I am getting her (really me ,lol ) a pair of Tekton M - Lores and a small 30 wpc amp .

Hi all ! All my SD stuff sounds great except Royal Scam and Katy Lied , all on CD .

Hi all ! That Cary slp-03 is certainly a giant killer . Glad you are happy with the changes you made . 
Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5
Hi all ! If it sounds good at lower volumes and gets worse at higher volume change amps . If it doesnt sound right to you at any volume (with the preamp in the system), change the preamp. The Cary slp-03 is killer for $2500 new / $1500 used , a tr... 
The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat
hi all ! We used to just put two cd's in the drawer and listen that way , yup made a difference . Then I got a metal disc from discwasher , went on top of the cd ...and yup that made an audible difference also.Dont know what happened to the discwa...

Hi all ! I read somewhere that the highs on Katy Lied was flawed due to a bad adjustment on the eq , or something like that . Also , that Becker and Fagen never listened to the final album because of this . 
Power Cord for Power Conditioner
Hi all ! Lacee , you have made a great effort to convince Jeff that power cords change the sound . If he cannot hear it , he cannot hear it. I was buying some tubes the other day from an old radio collector , he assured me that all tubes sound the... 
Give up on Thiel 3.6 or try another amp again ?
Hi all ! If it were me I would treat the room 1st , GIK Acoustics are good to work with . If the same problem persisted I would go with smaller Thiels . Matching the speakers to the amp is important , matching the speakers to the room is paramount . 
Affordable electronics to suit Thiel 3.5 speakers
Hi all ! Really amazing what the room does. If the highs still have a little too much edge to them try this...tap the tops of all of your components .Put someting heavy (not metal )on top of the one that rings the most . I like using wood blocks f... 
Affordable electronics to suit Thiel 3.5 speakers
Hi all ! Im with Nordic on this one .Room treatments..... Take some blankets and put them on any shelves or flat bare surfaces and see if that helps the "edge" . If it does , get some room treatments . Too often we blame the equipment when the roo...
