| Thiel Owners Jafant My system is VPI HW19 MkIII with Premier FT3 arm and Grado Sonata low output, ARC CD3, ARC SP9 MkiII, ARC Classic 60 feeding the CS 3.5's. I know you're a cable guy, so I replaced initial Audio quest speaker cable and FMS Blue interconnect... | |
| Thiel Owners biannuzzi22 Contrary to what many will say, CS 3.5's do NOT need big watts or the ability to go down to 2 Ohms. The 3.5 is one of the (perhaps the easiest) easier Thiels in this regard. They will, however, really show whether it is a quality ampl... | |
| Help with streamer software I also have an AirLens coming. PS Audio explained that Qobuz is about to release Qobuz Connect at (approximately) the turn of the year. With it, you'll be able to stream Qobuz without having to go thru Roon, much like Tidal Connect. I"m planning t... | |
| Nice vintage $2k Turntable, cartridge, and phono stage You can't go wrong with a VPI HW-19 Mk 3 or 4. There's plenty out there that have been pretty tricked out with nice tonearms, etc.. Built like a tank and simple. I've had mine since 1989. Mine's gloss black, but they also came in solid wood you co... | |
| Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others? Richard Thompson, his life's work of songwriting is simply incredible and far ranging. Frank Zappa and Robert Fripp. | |
| Results of Actual Hearing Test and Next Steps If you love music why in the world would you try to hold off getting hearing aids?????? Makes absolutely no sense. You aren't going to accommodate hearing loss with screwing around with your system. This thinking hurts my head. | |
| Floorstanding speaker advice needed for long room Larsen's are designed to be against the wall, haven't heard them but reviews are very favorable. | |
| hearing loss and amp choices Absolutely wear hearing protection inside your helmet when riding. The wind noise alone will damage your hearing over time. Also, behind the ear hearing aids are the way to go, unobtrusive and no need to miniaturize as much as the in ear ones. Nob... | |
| hearing loss and amp choices Curtdr is absolutely correct! I have fairly compromised hearing that happens to everyone in my family. The biggest improvement in my system was a pair of Oticon hearing aids. I have no idea why so many are so reluctant and advocate trying to tune ... | |
| Need some Cart recommendations, $300 - $700 (New/Used) range…warm, full, yet great def. I have the low output version of the Grado Sonata and it sounds like it has just the traits you're looking for and at a good price point. | |
| Rouge Audio RP-7 I have no experience with Rogue, but my ARC Classic 60 and SP 9 Mk lll are in for their first service in 30+ years. I thought they were expensive when purchased, what runs this long and sounds so good???? Pretty good investment IMHO. | |
| What are your favorite "HOT" songs? House Burning Down - Hendrix | |
| Your Favorite Christmas Song-One only Please- I Only Want You for Christmas, the Persuasions. | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? I'm sure I'm biased because I have Thiel CS 3.5's, but, even though they are voiced differently, I find that Thiels and Vandersteens (and Maggies) just sound right compared to so many otherwise good speakers. I'm not sure, but I believe the phase ... | |
| Top 3 songs to evaluate a system Dimming of the Day, Richard and Linda ThompsonLooking for an Echo, The Persuasions400 years, Bob Marley and the WailersIf something sounds great on these 3, they'll sound great for everything. |
