Anyone seen or heard new Thiel CS3.7
I am curious if this is going to be the design direction for the rest of line as upgrades are made. Thiel seems to play along a common design theme so my guess is yes....so with that......I wonder when the 6.0's and 7.2's are due. Can't say I like... 
Silver vs Copper cables
The quality of the wire (silver or copper), shielding, and the dielectric along with construction is what makes the difference. Another tibit, along with silver being the better conducter, is that silver oxide conducts current while copper oxide d... 
Insurance
What Newbee said. Take pictures and document and of course inform you agent as to the cost of the system. Most people, including wives, have no idea what this stuff costs.Chuck 
Silver vs Copper cables
In my opinion about all you can say concerning this subject is that silver is a better conductor than copper all things being equal.Chuck

Latest P.S. Audio Ultimate Outlet????
If I were buying a used one I would ask the seller for the serial number then ask PS Audio which version it is. I understand the UPC-200 is improved over the older UO version. I had a UPC-200 and did not like it so I sold it. I have never head the...

Sony SCD-1 owners - I/C and PC recommendations?
On my SCD-1 I use a PS Audio Xtreme Statement power cord and for interconnects I use Audioquest Anacondas and have been pleased with the performance of both. I have not done or felt the need to do any experimenting with either cable. Chuck 
Lamm ML2.1 and Avalon Eidolon ?
It sounds like you already have tried the combination and like it; if that is the case then great. I personally think that you need more power to get the most out of the Eidolons. I had a CJ prmier 11a driving my Thiel 3.6's and it sounded wonderf... 
Sony SCD-1 or SCD-XA9000ES for stereo
In my opinion the scd-1 is still the better player. I was sonys statement piece and continues today to be one of the best built units available; if only on the used market. If you wish higher performance there are high quality mods available to ta... 
Installing a dedicated AC line
I used 10/2 romex with PS Audio Power Ports runs were about 75ft. Can't say I heard a substantial improvement but definitely worth the effort.Chuck

Questions about SACD vs.analog for classical music
I find it is all about the music and the appreciation of the art irrespective of which format you chose. If a cheapo tt set-up and one to two dollar albums found at garage sales (played on who knows what over the years) does it for you then great....
