| Check this out...you might implode. Oh, I would love to have heard the conversation in which one party agreed to do this, another agreed to have it done, and someone consented to pay for the whole ordeal. It had to have been priceless. | |
| Surrounds for Thiel 3.6 system? As an update, in a fit of pique I picked up a pair of the Definitive Technologies BPX dipolar surrounds to go with the Thiels. (Used, great price, couldn't resist). Love the speakers, but they are definitely not a particularly good voice match for... | |
| Thiel 3.6 s and amplifier choices Curious about the changing of the guard. Within the past year, there have been at least 4-5 relatively long threads regarding amplification for Thiels. (Worth doing a search and comparing the comments--some of the past threads were fairly detailed... | |
| How to have great HT and 2-CH Stereo I did the same--essentially built two systems, one on top of the other. For two channel I've got a VTL pre with a processor bypass loop and then a receiver doing the processing and powering the center and rears. It's not nearly as high-end as one ... | |
| Power Strip vs. Line Conditioner At the risk of repeating, the above advise has been dead on in my experience. If I had a place where I could assure the quality of the power right out of the socket, that would be the way to go. However, living in a New York appartment, where the ... | |
| Surrounds for Thiel 3.6 system? I'm wrassling with comming up with some surrounds to go with my 2.3's. I'd love to have a pair of Thiel's Powerpoints, but $2.4k for those plastic little jobbies has to be a joke. So much so that it almost pisses me off for having bought Thiels in... | |
| Holy Mackeral...The Meters do rule Saw'em at Jazz Fest last year -- and they are undeniably all that and some to spare. They seem to go through alternate incarnations as either the Meters or the Funky Meters, depending, I think, on who happens to be playing with them at the time. D... | |
| Loewe or Toshiba HDTV ready? I spent about an hour in a shop here in NYC the other night swapping stories and watching some movies on the Loewe Aconda, (having just come from around the corner and oggling all of the 16:9 HDTV's at the Wiz and Circuit City). I'm hooked on the ... | |
| "White noise" in speakers. Tubes? Yep, tubes. The easiest way to determine for sure whether it's the tubes that are not putting out equal "tube rush" (which seems to be unavoidable to some extent) is to simply switch them from the left to right channels (making sure to move only o... | |
| Looking for input on APATURE cables I had a pair of the Apature Signature Series 500 wires a couple of (ok, nine) years ago that I picked up, essentailly, as overstock scrap from a fella in CT (he had an odd length left over from the end of a spool and practically gave it to me for ... | |
| Best headphone amp. Ok, I found it:(http://www.audioadvancements.com/prod01.htm). Thanks. | |
| Best headphone amp. Gentlemen, could you point me towards where I might get more info on the EarMax? I'd like to check it out. Many thanks. | |
| Best headphone amp. I considered these two and ended up with the Headroom Home for the Sennheisers. Costs a bit more than the other two, but I like it a whole lot. Unfortunately, however, I never managed to compare the three, so my opinion may not be worth all that m... | |
| Best cables for Thiel 2.3 Don't really know how it would stack up against other quality gear, but I'm using the Homegrown Super Silver interconnects and Kimber Monocle XL speaker cabels (VTL preamp, Bryston amp, Thiel 2.3's) and am very pleased. Some have suggested that th... | |
| Amp to match with Meadowlark Shearwater While we're all throwing in $.02, I auditioned the Shearwaters at one dealer on Cary, CJ and VAC (dealer wouldn't deign to play them with anything other than tubes--which was not all that impressive as a selling scheme in my book, but what the hey... |
