| Looking for a solid state preamp for Krell fpb 250m monoblocks OK, I called Patrick at Krell and he told me how to render the Krell FPB 250m safe for Tube preamps, and sent me a diagram. Never mind! I'm now a convert to tube preamps!Thanks guys. | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines With respect to turntables, tone arms and cartridges, Dave at vinylnirvana is a great resource. He rebuilds Thorens, AR and others and is a real nice guy. I own one of his rebuilt and modded Thorens Long Base 125's, with an SLE tonearm and upscale... | |
| Thiel Owners I enjoyed the input guys. I am inclined to pick up a Krell fpb 300cx for the 6's.An fpb Krell worked great with my 2.4's--; despite not blowing my dress up with the 5i's..I like the Pass amps but have not heard them with the Thiel like I have the ... | |
| Thiel Owners I have just bought a pair of CS6's, which brings me back into the fold after a year long fling with tubes and horns. Any suggestions for an Amplifier? I'm looking in the 3-5k range, Lets hear it guys! | |
| Thiel Owners On another topic, has anyone heard both CS5i's or 5's, and CS7.2's? If so, your impressions of these two big Thiels?I'm considering the 7.2's at present. | |
| Thiel Owners I used Audioquest cabling for my earlier 2.2's & 2.3's. I switched to Transparent cables when my Thiel dealer (extinct now!) sold me some in the 1500 range. Later on I had a chance to compare much cheaper Sanders cables and interconnects. They... | |
| Thiel Owners I was able to listen to the Bryston integrated (model escapes me) at a dealer showroom in Santa Fe. It was paired with Thiel 2.7's and sounded wonderful. I wish I had listened to my ears! | |
| Thiel Owners I used Transparent cables; however, after a talk with Roger Sanders, I ordered a pair of Sanders speaker cables and I now use them throughout and have never thought of using anything else.I have never used Bryston but I am sure they are a good mat... | |
| Thiel Owners I have really enjoyed reviewing the posts in this great thread. It occurs to me that I have a few observations about my long association with these great speakers. The first is that quality power is the most important ingredient in the enjoyment o... | |
| Thiel Owners I use Thiel power points for rears and power planes as mains, mcs1 center with ss1 sub. I had 2.4's for mains until I sold them. My system is dialed in through the p0x crossover to the pp's & planes and there is more symmetry but I lost the r... | |
| Enlightened Audio Designs Fairfield, Iowa Yes. And they do a great job. Greg will answer any questions about their terrific gear. I have an EAD Powermaster 2000 which I've had for 10 years or more. Sent it to Noble for service, (120 lbs!) and they had fixed and back in a flash. Same with ... | |
| The Worst Speaker you have ever heard. Bose. Anything with Bose on it. | |
| Buying Without Audition I didn't know there were so many fellow boony-dwellers in Audiogon! Everything in my listening room was purchased used on Audiogon or other sites, except for my Vinyl Nirvana Thorens long base 125, which I got from Dave himself, along the tonearm ... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant,I used a Krell fpb 300 on my 2.4's, which is very high current and doubles down to 2 ohms or below. The fpb series was made in the early 90's, I think. Mine had fresh caps done at the factory. As these get some use, I'd look for freshly rec... | |
| Thiel Owners I have had Thiels since '83 starting with a pair of 03a's & a PS Audio Elite integrated Amp. I progressed through 2.2's, 2.3''s and then to 2.4's to which I added a Krell fpb 300 amp, which was wonderful. As a truly sick audiophile, I was not ... |
