Just look at his post:Btw, I have been repeatedly dissatisfied and disappointed by digital for decades… the promise… the failure, rinse, repeat.He forgets to lather. But aside from that, well said.

| Thiel Owners Hi All,Just wanted everyone to know that I keep learning by reading this thread. and I am not through all of it yet...!One thing I have learned, know, is that the CS5i's are not bright. Feed them right and you will be rewarded.Right now, I am list... | |
| Best Bang for your Buck DAC ? @twoch, duder, try not to be like me. you will get tired fast of anything under $2000.....Twoch, I agree with your assessment. There is a whole big world out there with $5,000 and up DACS. Read the end of the thread here: https://forum.audiogon.c... | |

| Thiel Owners @beetlemania IMO, Thiels are generally very transparent...Some of you may recall my recent posts where I expressed a desire for a more live presence with my Thiel CS5i's. I also thought about beatlemania's post about the transparency of Thiels in... | |
| Discrete R2R Ladder dac from Soekris, Absolute Sounds review. Okay...My intent was to listen to a less than $1000 DAC to see if that could make me happy.

| Tekton versus Klipsch mapman and charles1dad,Thanks for the comments. Probably makes sense to call Fritz. Based on the extensive number of parts in my Thiel crossovers and their hard load, I expect the series crossover approach makes a lot of sense. | |
