| Thiel Owners agdrago Specs are a quick way to whittle down dozens of possibilities, but they're just one factor in a complex equation. Nothing replaces an in-home audition, with your components, in your listening room. Happy listening! | |
| Thiel Owners agdrago A capable amp's power specs should read something like: - 100W @ 8 ohms, 0.1% distortion or less 20Hz - 20kHz, both channels driven - 200W @ 4 ohms, 0.1% distortion or less 20Hz - 20kHz, both channels driven - 400W @ 2 ohms, 0.1% disto... | |
| Any piece of equipment you currently dream of ? @bipod72 For some reason, your description of your new space evoked in my mind the warm glow of tubes. | |
| Any piece of equipment you currently dream of ? @bipod72 I love your description of your cabin retreat too. You need music in the shop :) | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @mitch2 nice clean job. Looks great | |
| "...and I don't take any advertiser money..." Don't forget that reviewers who post unflattering opinions often end up being harassed and threatened with legal action. For example, read about the dCS v. Goldensound train wreck. | |
| LoFi Try working in a vacant unheated building with water dripping everywhere from the failed roof and I can assure you that a bluetooth tailgate speaker sounds pretty great :) | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks Being buried alive is way up high on my list of ways that I do not want to die.

Cut out the drywall so you can attach the work box to s stud next to the outlet you want to put in? @immatthewj Yes that’s what ... | |

| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Low impedance is immaterial when speakers are paired with amplifiers that are right for them. Lots of folks out there under-power their speakers. Some speakers, especially vintage ones, will react to this indignity by either sounding like garbag... | |
| A little puzzled by my newly acquired Yamaha A-S801 [...] Rotel that is now defunct and irreparable Few amps are ever irreparable! Better fix them than throw them away 🙂 | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Spielberg is rightly being ignored here, but Duel felt like a pretty darn good movie at the time. |
