Thiel Owners
prof, I look forward to that thread! 
Thiel Owners
Love, love this thread. I have taken my 3.6s as far as they can go in terms of performance and I'd like to upgrade to Thiel 6, and then to 3.7. Thoughts please. Also, the reviews of the 3.7s are all fantastic, but they don't seem to be holding the... 
ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28?
I'm an ARC fan. I own a ph8 phonostage and a Ref 3 pre. As we know, companies make products to different price points. That is another way of saying "consumer groups." I can shop above the ARC LS line, but far below their reference phonostages or ... 
What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience?
Yes, discussions of how various drugs improve or degrade experience, in this case listening to music, is silly, immature, and a waste of time. Of course, if you don't have these discussions, we can believe that no one uses, the war on drugs has be... 
What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience?
Oh, BTW, this is in analog because I have an analog-only system, and if the digital boys chimed in, we'd be talking all day about their need for heroin to enjoy their systems...it's just a joke guys, don't go all Twitter on me. 
Vinyl and subwoofers
BTW, the query "pumping woofer vinyl" resulted in over 100,000 results on Google. 
Vinyl and subwoofers
cleeds,Can't explain why others don't have the problem and I can't explain why others do. "Not plausible" does not rule out the possibility that the setup is screwy. That said, ok ok, I'll check it. :) Why is having the sub only 4 ft away from tab... 
Vinyl and subwoofers
Hi cleeds and ct0517,I have my turntable on the top of a rack 5ft high on top of a 2x2 ft slab of marble. The stand sits on points that sit on carpet and go through to a concrete floor. The speakers are each 4 ft away from the turntable and are al... 
Vinyl and subwoofers
ct0517,I've always noticed it with my 3.6s, in my idiocy though, I just thought it was part of playing records. I agree, the PH8 should include a filter, absolutely. Thiel also had the option of including one in its PX02 (passive crossover for the... 
Vinyl and subwoofers
Just read about the KAB rumble filter. I had no idea this problem of pumping woofers was so common. I am still shaking my head. Why didn't the experts who designed the audiophile skyscraper put in a button for the rumble-filter floor in all of the... 
Vinyl and subwoofers
Thanks tons for all the responses. I have room treatments, a power re-generator supplying clean, constant 120. A Thiel PX02, a passive integrator tailored to the 3.6. My CJ pre inverts the phase, so I switched the red and black at the speaker term... 
Vinyl VS Digital
I first had a Rega RP3 (400), Grado Gold cartridge (250), and NAD phonostage (200). Vinyl did not approach digital quality. A Clearaudio Performance se table (3000), ARC PH 5 phonostage (2500), and a Clearaudio Maestro (1200) came very close to di...
