| Good transport for under 1K? Two of my grandchildren have extensive collections of Redbook classical CDs. They both use use the Cambridge, with a separate DAC, and both have been very pleased with the transport. I used one before acquiring a BCD-3 spinner. No problems with t... | |
| Will the Thiel CS2.4 fit in my car? He said the pickup was at UPS, meaning the speakers will be crated. | |
| Will the Thiel CS2.4 fit in my car? You don’t know the H x W x D, plus the gross weight of the containers / crates. Best to get a van - - and a friend to help you load and unload them. Carrying and moving shipping crates can easily be a two-person task.Been there, done that, got the... | |
| Bass and treble levels eric_squiresGotta' agree with you about the quality of current tone controls. . Unfortunately, some of the earlier CD recordings certainly need treble cut. | |

| Thiel Owners I used a Bryston 4B with mine. No distortion at louder levels. | |
| Thiel Owners If you choose the 3.5s, be sure to get the equalizer | |
| Advice for killer desktop speakers If these are for your computer, the B&W MM1 speakers may surprise you. They have their own DAC, and connect to the computer via a USB2. | |

| Bryston owners Running a pair of Thiel 2.7s with a Bryston 4BSST2. I've used several different preamps, including two with balanced outputs. Since there's only a short 30" distance between the preamp and the 4B. I couldn't discern any difference between balanc... |
