| Thiel Owners @tomthiel Got it, thanks for clarifying. Looking at pics of both subwoofer versions the difference is clear now. Thank you. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel Thank you for this fantastic write-up of the differences between the two versions. Most CS5 owners upgraded to the CS5i. Great to know that some of the CS5 out there may actually be functionally equivalent to CS5i The only visual d... | |
| Power amplifier longevity… thoughts? @philliprcook Some folks recommend gently powering up long-unused equipment on a variac at 30V for 12 hrs, 60V for another 6 hours, and on. I may try this on some components I have coming out of storage, but maybe some folks here have done it? | |
| Thiel Owners @duramax747 Thank you for the explanation. I would like to own a pair of these speakers at least once, but they don't come up all that often so it's more of a wish list thing. Thank you! | |
| PS Audio IRSV selling Considering that the IRS V is an uber-rare icon, that this particular set has been brought up to 21st century standards by qualified specialists, and that today's continuation model costs $680,000, $70K sounds very reasonable. | |
| Thiel Owners Hi everyone, I am curious about the differences between CS5 and CS5i. I couldn't find the info online so I thought I'd ask here. CS5 are rare on the market and CS5i even more so. Thanks in advance! | |
| What do I need? @ghdprentice is correct, separate HT and audio systems is best. You need different gear to reproduce music vs explosions. | |

| Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets Some of these house wiring YouTube videos are lethal. Literally. Just saying :) | |
| Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets @immatthewj Here is a very comprehensive article on IG receptacles. Fig 6 shows the basics at a glance. https://iaeimagazine.org/2006/march2006/isolated-grounding-receptacle-circuits-got-clean-grounds-or-dirty-grounds/ Not very onerous to implem... | |
| Dealers of High End Equipment Great big honking audio deals online are from the likes of Best Buy, so as long as you're into a Marantz AVR and / or Klipsch towers you're golden. On the other hand, boutique hardware is seldom offered online for less than full retail. Unless it'... | |
| Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets A person could have a 2nd service, meter and panel installed that would serve their audio equipment only. No appliance and / or motor noise since wirings would be entirely separate. | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. Folks no longer need Patek Philippes to tell them what time it is, yet they still buy expensive wristwatches. And that's fine. No one argues with that. The problem begins when some of these folks show up late at meetings, then insist that they're... | |
| New speakers for a new start? I auditioned a set of Sanders 10e speakers driven by a pair of Sanders Magtech monoblocks and a dbx active crossover and DSP unit. Yes, I know they are the exact opposite of some of the things I’ve said I wanted. Their sweet spot is strictly one-... |
