| Thiel Owners I have had my used BAT VK-250 for about a month on the 2.4’s. It is such a nice amp for those speakers. So cost effective to,1800.00 with a factory check up. If that helps anyone looking for a nice combination to explore on a friendly budget. I w... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. If you like the sounds of the Wilson's, that is the prime value. The Wilson's I have heard sounded not very good to me, when listening in a demo or showroom. But in the home where they are set up somewhat decently, they are a hard to beat speaker.... | |
| I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading? Don't worry, life doesn't stay the exact same. Just give your attention to things you do enjoy. Then maybe in a while the audio thing will have more meaning again for you. | |
| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles How cool. After hearing a few systems like this, i feel there is some real potential for these to be fantastic sounding speakers. I would encourage, with an open mind, to listen to these when you have a chance. I hope to sometime. In the 60's , i... | |
| Thiel Owners I thought this might be of some use. But if not, it is some good news for me. I got a used BAT VK 250 from TMR. They sent it in to BAT in November before I was even looking at it. BAT checked it out and replaced the big caps with the news ones th... | |
| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS It is hard to say what you like at low listening levels. I find Thiel speakers really good at low listening levels, and most other listening levels. Excellent speakers by any measure. | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? To bring this topic back (which is a good one) and off the complain-oh-wheel. I have found like some others, upgrading the source power cord, in my case a cd transport, made a very noticeable improvement. I got a used cord for 180.00, Shunyata si... | |
| Mission Cyrus 781 OR Mirage OM10 It matters most on what you would prefer. We are are different in our preferences. But my personal preference would be the mission's | |
| What new gear have you just bought? I wanted to get all this dialed in before fall and winter comes. Swiss digital fuse box here. Installed it. Giving it some time to breath. It is doing very nicely so far. Also got a Puron I will install after the fuse box settles in. Then I got a ... | |
| 3C24 tube amp recently converted to 812 ouput power tubes. ' just don't make life too important to enjoy it. Appreciate and enjoy, that's my motto'. Beautiful and kind view Dan. Thank you for those words. | |
| WHEN DID YOU FINALLY STOP... When I moved my listening seat 1 foot forward. But I don't know how long I am off it though.. | |
| Did the Old Receivers Sound Good? I had a Yamaha CR 820 and some Tannoy Cheviots in the late 70's. That combination is my baseline today. It was pretty much perfect to me. To each his own, right? | |
| Next Level Hifi Thanks Juan. I am not surprised that a good consultation brings a lot to the table for the person being helped. I grew up around audio(not audio stores, just nice systems) starting in 1967, later did some work(building work) for some high end sto... | |
| Next Level Hifi Nice to hear. How valuable such individuals are including blisshifi. I have tried many times and never put together a system as well as my dealer. I have tuned it in to my liking pretty good, but never put a system together as well. I hope we can ... | |
