| Thiel Owners I believe there is a post earlier in the thread about distortion. I've had it from time to time but not lately. | |
| Thiel Owners " I have Thiel's original Sony SCD-1, and it needs repair. Someone here noted a tech doing this work. "Don't know about the original recommendation but Bill Thalmann would be someone I'd recommend - https://www.musictechnology.com/about-us | |

| Thiel Owners " So I’ve been thinking. With the purchase of the amps it would be hard to squeeze in the 7’s. Think I should just stick with what I have for now and just save for 3.7 or the 7.2. 7.2 might be better cause of the mineral polymer baffle instead of... | |
| Thiel Owners " Thanks for the response, that pretty much answers my question. I think I will stick with my 2.3’s for now."There's also a post of mine here from December 3, 2019 - https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/thiel-owners-2?page=143Later 2.3s, I beli... | |
| Thiel Owners " I just saw a pair of cs7’s pop up for sale. I’ve always wanted a pair if cs7.2’s. How big of a difference is there between the cs7’s and the cs7.2? I currently own cs2.3’s. I’m assuming the cs7’s are a big step up from the cs2.3?" When I had ... | |
| Thiel Owners There's some explanations of the Walsh driver characteristics at Ohm's website - https://ohmspeaker.com/technology/ | |
| Thiel Owners " Cascadesphil - my working hypothesis is that dry air and moist air couple and resolve the various forces differently - not a theory, but a hunch developed over the past year of experimentation."Tom - thanks. I sort of figured it could be somet... | |
| Thiel Owners " Just some occasional "tinsel" in the sound that you have to be up close and at a slight angle to really hear."I've heard that in some instances from one of my 3.7s (and from the listening position). Then I don't hear similar stuff for a couple... | |
| Thiel Owners No DVD-A or SACD playback with the UB-9000 (pretty much just CD, DVD-V, Blu-Ray and UHD Blu-Ray). It will, however, play up to quad DSD files. For me, it's not an issue as I don't play discs. I have disc spinners in every system (in some, multi... | |
| Thiel Owners " Is your Pannasonic 9000 player the most current universal spinner?"Yes - the UB9000 is their flagship. I also have the (Panasonic) UB820 in the main system, which is the model down, but just use that for video and it is better than the Oppo 10... | |
| Thiel Owners Yes the T2 is supposedly the sweet spot in the line. I had the DAC (bought it used as version 1 and sent it to EMM Labs to get upgraded to version 2) already. So for me it was an easy decision and I bought the U1 lightly used. Was already using... | |
| Thiel Owners " On a side note anyone spent anytime with the Lumin T2 with their Thiel’s? Starting to look at my digital/streaming front end which is quite dated."I use a Lumin U1 (and have an NAS in the office it reads with files from) along with an EMM Labs ... | |
| Thiel Owners One thing to help with integrating a sub that is not super expensive is the (Studio Six Digital) AudioTools App (for phone or tablet) https://www.studiosixdigital.com/audiotools-modules-2/ I have an Audio Control one third octave RTA and can att... |
