| What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000 Easy-THIEL CS 2.7 or CS 3.7 -these are my reference loudspeakers. The most significant factor between these 2 models is the fact that the CS 3.7 requires and prospers via a larger room ...20x20, 25x25 or 30x30.Like me, if you seek true "timbre" in... | |
| What's a good alternative to Pass Labs? Colonel-you may want to re-think your preamp. Any preamp is going to be the heart of any system. If you do not get this right, nothing else matters...List your cables/powers cords as well. IMO, this is the 2nd most over-looked aspect of any rig. K... | |
| Tube Preamp vs Solid State Very nice! Thieliste & Phd-Those espirit cables/cords are supposed to be very nice.Additionally, I want to audition both VAC + VTL gear w/ Thiel loudspeakers. They are supposed to be sonic matches for one another. Excellent flow of information... | |

| Tube Preamp vs Solid State Good Day Thieliste,I,too, regard the Thiel Cs 3.7 as a true reference loudspeaker. I choose the CS 2.7 model, as my room is too small for the mighty 3.7-Recently, I have read about BAT, VAC and VTL are being sonic matches w/ Thiel speakers. Tell m... | |

| IC compatibility for Ayre CX-7e CD player Sunnyjim-I would add that this spinner will require at least 200 hrs just to begin to "open up". You have plenty of time for cable/cord selection. Go ahead and use the cables/cords you have on-hand.After the 200 hr mark, start looking/listening to... | |
