| Calling Thiel Owners: MC501s to drive CS3.7? I always used cj electronics with my 3.6's and I never thought of the Thiels as being sterile. They always projected a deep wide soundstage and were very musical with copious amounts of timbre around the instruments. The hall mark of cj.Chuck | |
| Pass Labs X250 or X350? You want the .5 version IMO much more refined as Rob states above. And the 350 will give better bass performance at all volume levels. Thiels love large amounts of high quality horsepower to sound their best. Chuck | |

| Amp recomendations for WATT/puppy v6. I would use conrad johnson to try and get some musicality out of those speakers. I heard them through Mark Levinson electronis as well as rouge and krell and on all occasions they were dry and sterile to my ears. | |
| how do you deal with heavy power cords? Hospital Grade recepticles should have enough clamping power to hold onto the prongs on the plug. For the IEC end I would wrap a piece of electrical tape around the perimeter of the IEC and then plug it into the unit. At least worth a try if you h... | |
