Need info on amp rec. for these Thiel cs2.4's
My Channel Islands come tonite. So in a few days to a week I'll give an update. If I'm lucky all goes well and the warm sound and good bass control will mate well with the hard to drive, bright Thiels. Not sure how long it will take to break in th... 
Review: NAD m51 DA converter
I have not ever used the Oppo for anything more than a trasnport. So I cannot comment on the quality of the Oppo 93 or for that matter the 95's sound, though I have heard good things about 95's sound. However, I did own a Rega Apollo R CD player w...

Mezmo,I hope your right. I keep hearing about no "emotion" in class d amps, but every professional review, save one, and almost all people who personally own the Channels really seem to like them. I never 100% trust professional critics - just can...

Ok, I remember seeing this: http://www.conradjohnson.com/It_just_sounds_right/a-mf2100.htmlthat is why I thought it was class D, I thought all MOSFET was class d. My mistake.

I actually own an old MF2100, but its not powerful enough for the Thiels. However if I remember the MF series is a MOSFET powered amp, thus a D class amp. Someone correct me if I am wrong on that. A lot of people snub their noses at D class, but w...

Actually I have ordered some Cardas twins to give a try out.

I think what I am going to try to do is audition (buy with option to send back) the Channel Island D200 MKII's. From all the reviews I've been reading they have a very "tube" sound with a warm midrange and smooth highs without any harshness or gra...

Thanks for the response. To be clear I did have a modified Acurus LS11 but it didn't do me any favors. The highs and lows sounded about the same - meaning a bit bright. Right now the only thing I have to go on is that when I added the VTL preamp t...

My last comment should read: "Now I do really like the speakers but maybe I should get rid of them. I know many people will tell me to do just that -" Also the "flat" comment was in response to the Adcom Curse you iPad and your auto correct!!!

Thiel CS2.4 and suggestion on preamp
I might try a CJ, but my budget would limit me to a classic line stage or et-2 or et-3As it stands now I will be ussing a NAD M51 DAC that will allow me to run 2 channel sacd's thru hdmi or redbook cd's. It's getting great reviews and it can be us... 
what makes a good CD player
I see what you all are getting at, and I know its what sounds good to my ears. The problem is my ears arnt near any hifi stores and the nearest one is 2 hours away. So I need to be able to research without hearing, because if I don't like what I h...

Can SACD's be played in ony 2 channel format
"Stereo tracks are either 16 bit (CD layer) or DSD (SACD layer)."I think I got it. Is the SACD layer for multi channnel or can you have SACD 2 channel? Sorry for so many questions, but I just want to be clear. 
Can SACD's be played in ony 2 channel format
Are the stereo 24 bit or 16, or does that vary too?
