| Will this solid/tube combo work? I have the Thiel CS5i which are hungrier than your CS6's. I run them with a Pass X-350 (I wish I had the X-600)and my preamplifier is an Audio Research Ref 1. Everything works very nice! All cables are MIT. CD Player is Accuphase 75-V. | |
| martin logan vs magnepan sound When I had to make that choice, I took the Maggies. As many other pointed out, they require a beefy amplifier. I was running them with a Sim Audio W5 and it was a very good match. Today, I would add on my ESL (or quasi ESL for the Maggies...)selec... | |
| Cables for Audio Research I used the KS 1030 Single Ended and KS 1130 Balanced with my ARC Ref 1. Doing a lot of tests, I finally switched my single ended to Siltech Gold, and my balanced to MIT Oracle. ARC and MIT are an excellent combination. Their new interconnects that... | |
| What companies have gone above and beyond? I add my vote for Thiel ! Shari gives an excellent after sales service. | |
| Will a Classe SSP30 operate in 220V 50Hz Environ? Why don't you ask at Classe directly. Their technical support used to be very good. www.classeaudio.com | |
| preamp vs. no-preamp I stay with my preamplifier! Poor Dazzdax, I wonder if he is going to count the results of this discussion and then go with the majority...As Tok20000 and Czbbcl I had the same experiences. Connecting my Accuphase directly to my Pass results in a ... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona I have auditioned both speakers few times, with different gear though. Last time I auditioned the SF Cremona was in the Montreal audio show, they were driven by Nagra PLP preamplifier and Nagra mono amplifiers with a Wadia 861 CD player. The resul... | |
| Calling all Accuphase cdp owners I am sorry to disagree with the other Accuphase owners...I have a DP75V CD player, and after a few tests connecting it directly to my Pass X350 or through my Audio Research Ref 1, there is no comparison! When you go through a good preamplifier, th... | |
| Best amp for ThielCS6. Gabi,I have a pair of Thiel CS5i which are more demanding than your CS6 (they used to be the top of the line beyond the CS7...remember?) I brought home and tested in my own system few amplifiers before taking any decision: McIntosh MC602(5),Goldmu... | |
| Tube Preamp with PS Audio P300 Joe,What is the power consumption of your BAT pre-amplifer?The comments written before really surprised me!I am running through my PS300(with multiwave and fan)an ARC Ref 1 pre-amplifier, a CD player (with isolation transformer) and my Dynalab Tun... | |
| Pass X250/350 /Plinius SA250/Classe CAM350's/Sim I have auditioned the Proac 3.8 at Goodwin's in Waltham-MA with the Classé CAM350. It was a good match. Although for my very demanding speakers (Thiel CS5 i) I preferred to upgrade my previous SimAudio W-5 with the Pass X-350. | |
| Class A and B differences? When I read your thread I was almost sure that you were refering to "Stereophile rating". This is always confusing, although the previous comments were still very interesting.From my experience having a Pass X-350 and since I experimented with few... | |
| FedEX Ground, sure they aren't really BROWN??? I am in Montreal-Canada and I could say that the local Fedex service is much better than UPS. It happened that I sent an Audiomeca Talisman CD-player to California last year during the September 11 week... What a bad combination ! Imagine during t... | |
| Class A amplifier choice, need suggestions Solid State Amplifier: Pass Labs X350 or higherVaccum Tube Amplifier: Audio Research VT200 or higher | |
| good/best CD player with variable out I have to confess that I have never personally tried the Audio Aero Capitol, I have only auditioned it at the shows. I did try the Wadia 861 and my own Accuphase 75V connected directly to my amplifier, and they did not sound even close to what you... |
