I used to have a No. 39 and I also had problems like the ones people are describing. I sent it to Madrigal, they did some work, but never were able to completely eliminate the problem. I remeber particularly having problems with "enhanced" CDs tha... 
Anybody stop using power conditioning?
I've had a Power Wedge, a PS Audio Power Plant, and a Hydra, and I have ended up getting rid of all of them.

When is thiel going to upgrade the 3.6
Hopefully Zaikesman will be along shortly to share what he learned during a recent factory tour. Seems like it will be a wait for the 3 series, nothing beyond the idea stage at this time. 
Thiel 2.4 and 7.2 versus 5i
Sam, what was "the other speaker", and which model of Thiel were you comparing it to? 
Hovland HP-100 vs. CAT SL1 Ultimate: Feedback
I have a lesser model of the First Sound (Mk II), but I agree very much with Kalan's description of its sonic strengths. I don't have enough experience with the other preamps under discussion to comment on them. 
Thiel - Inventors and Tinkerers All
What can you tell us about the prototypes you saw?Taters, the 1.6 is definitely not tizzy sounding.
