| 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 ... | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? John Prine Levon Helms Lyle Lovett Johnny Cash | |
| Are cables additive or subtractive? If this makes any sense here it is. I have Van den Hul ’The First’ ic’s. They seem to take the most away in the sound that is electronicy, edgey, glary, thin, ghosty, and leaves a more natural sound. I have some audio art 3SE’s that seem to make t... | |
| Are cables additive or subtractive? Both it seems. I use them as small final sound adjustments. Sometimes it adds something I like and sometimes it takes something away I like. I have about 8 sets of different ic's. And to me I t seems I can count on them changing the sound the same... | |
| Van Morrison Latest Record Project I don't get tired of Van or John. They have created a ton of good sound art. | |
| Where did you buy your first audio gear? Technics receiver and Koss headphones in 1972 at about 3000 south State St Salt Lake City, Inkley’s Camera Shop, about 3 years later I got a Yamaha Natural Sound CR 820 receiver, Tannoy Cheviots, Technics Direct Drive turntable and ortofon cartrid... |
