| Thiel Owners tomthiel, very cool story, thanks for sharing! | |
| Thiel Owners asiaaudiosoc, Thanks very much for the candid opinion on the RME! I'm not very experienced in all of this, but I know enough that when multiple people on this thread don't seem hot on a DAC, it's time to look elsewhere. I was also hesitant due... | |
| Thiel Owners So I finally got time to pull the dead tweeter from my 3.6, and it was kind of odd- the front "plate" holding the tweeter and rubber parts on had separated from the main body of the driver, and I noticed the gasket had a twist in it, so clearly so... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks tomthiel, looks like XLR gives three levels of attenuation, while RCA is fixed. For my purposes, I'd be using XLR. Reading through forums, there are pros and cons for both the RME (pro version) and the DAC3. My head is thoroughly hurting... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks unsound, reading about not just the output V ->input V principle, but also reading up on the relationship between dBu and voltage (a link in the thread) seems so fundamental, it's odd how little the subject is brought up on the mainstrea... | |
| Thiel Owners Great, thanks again, I think that shouldn't be too hard to find with the current lineup out there. | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks for the clarification unsound, I'm very curious to learn more about the bit stripping as that's new to me, will definitely read up on that. I've looked at a few DACs recently, and I've been making sure they do 32 bit per your suggestion (l... | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound @vair68robert Great insight you all are offering, your patience with the noob here is greatly appreciated! I have to agree that in this case, the pre amp seems like a superfluous addition, I think the DAC pre will work great for my ... | |
| Thiel Owners vair68robert , Thanks for the info, I never even knew about a passive pre amp until yesterday, I'm curious about it and given your experience will look more into it. Honestly I have no issue with using a DAC as the pre amp, just that you read r... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi all, Hope everyone had a great new year. So it took a few days but I'm now the proud owner of a pair of 3.6s being fed by a Mark Levinson 23.5:) The 3.6s will need a tweeter repaired which I'm waiting on Rob to get to back to me about, bu... | |
| Thiel Owners @tonywinga , cool trick on raising the fronts! Haven't heard of that before. I try not to accept what I hear in auditions as the final word on their sound obviously, so I'll be sure play around with positioning like you suggested once I get the... | |
| Thiel Owners @pops @unsound , Thanks so much guys for the honest opinions, I really appreciate the insight that I'd have nowhere else to get this from. For the speakers- don't tempt me pops, my house is already beginning to swell with audio gear as it i... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi all, hope everyone had a great holiday! I'm already ready for the next 3 day weekend. I was able to listen to two different setups this weekend, thought I'd share my impressions- the first were the CS6 with the ML23.5, and the second a pair ... | |
| Thiel Owners I like the idea unsound, having peace of mind is big for when I'm stretching my budget like in this situation, thanks. | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound , thanks for the advice, I think it's a great point especially with something like a ML that I read are labor intensive to work on. I couldn't make it tonight to check them out but hopefully get out there this weekend. Appreciate the wo... |
