| XLR, RCA or BNC? I think XLR are best for longer cable run due to less noise due to cancelation. However, for shorter runs, say 1M or less, I think it depends on whether the "from" and "to" components contain fully balanced circuitry. Usually these are higher end,... | |
| Help with Thiel 2.4 Placement Hi there! I don't feel like I am getting the soundstage width and height, that I know the Thiels are capable of.I have them about 4 feet from the back wall, 21 inches from the side wall, and I am sitting about 9 feet away. Very slight toe-in.I did... | |
| Amplifiers with Thiel Speakers I don't think the Rotel amp provides enough current for the Thiels 2.4 to sound their best. I am using a Levinson 27.5 with mine, and I really think I need to upgrade to a 332 or 334, at least. Thiels in general need as much power and current as y... | |
| Digital Cable thoughts The cable you have is excellent. I am not that familiar with these pieces, but an AES/EBU connection is the best for most trans/DAC combos. It provides the highest bandwith. I have compared many digital cables, and the AES/EBU type always won out.... | |
| Best Live Phish CDs Ketchup & Slipknot1, How do I get some of these recordings?? Most of my bootleg stuff is from Napster/Bearshare in an .mp3 foramt, which for the car is fine. The music is what I have always been after, but now that I have been able to finally ... | |
| Best Live Phish CDs Thanks guys. I do own the ones mentioned with the exception of Camp Oswego. I need to hunt that one down. | |
| Kimber vs Transparent Elberoth2,Just curious. What is your associated equipment?? | |
| Power Cord One thing I learned from all this is that YES power cords can make a big difference in some components. However, installing dedicated lines will make a difference in ALL components. For around $200 you may be able to have someone install a couple ... | |
| KEF 104/2, 105/3, or 107/2? The 107/2 are defintely the best of the three, but depending on your budget and space constrictions the 104/2 would be my second choice. All three benefit nicely using the Kube. | |
| Most expencive stereo ever I know that Transparent Audio has the MM Opus speaker cables that cost $30k. I have heard them. Incredible. | |
| Modern day equivalent of KEF 104.2s? I just sold my 104/2 and bought a pait of Thiel 2.4s. They are not at all similar. It was a great upgrade, but the characteristics were not similar. I think B&W 7NT, 9NT sound similar. The mids and highs are in the same mold, but the bass is t... | |
| Halcro Amps with Richard Gray? Personally, I would not use any high quality amp with any conditioner. Other electronics, yes, but not amps. | |
| pass X250 vs mark levinson No 331 Those are both great amps. What other equipment do you have? | |
| looking for amp for thiel 2.4 speakers. I am using a Levinson 27.5 with mine, and hope to upgrade to a 332 eventually. Based on my experimenting, even though the load is easier on the 2.4's, the demand for current is the same (as the 2.3's). The more power the better, not for "loudness"... | |
| Thiel 7.2 or Revel Studios I agree will all of the above. One other consideration is your room. Thiels like very wide spacing, with ample distance to side walls, pointing straight ahead. Revel is a little less picky on placement, but if you get the Thiels dialed in, I think... |
