| How NOT to sell an item on Audiogon “...minty.”Rogue eBayer stumbles into the ‘Gon..”PayPal add 3-4%”...If I walked into your store would you have the audacity to charge me any additional fee for using a credit card??? (I know the fees charged by the credit card companies so...)”..... | |
| Thiel Owners By my A’gon membership count I’ve had 5 amp and preamp combos since joining the site, and that doesn’t account for purchases off the site. I think it makes 9 or 10 total. Could be more. I’ve had three - count ‘em three - pairs of CS 3.5’s, one p... | |
| Thiel Owners In my limited experience with repairing Thiel 3.5 midranges a couple of years back the performance of Thiel in general warrants what is truly an “investment” as opposed to a mere “repair”. Even with the $600 + dollars invested into a pair of spea... | |
| Thiel Owners Arvin...I have owned three ARC preamps - LS2, LS2B, and an LS 3 - each attained at prices that were extremely reasonable. (The LS2B being the only tubed version.)At such prices they represent truly remarkable values given the build quality, perfo... | |
| Thiel Owners I’ve had a Rogue Cronus Magnum and it’s an incredible value - especially for tube gear. I forget why I sold it off...Probably because I’m on this site too much! | |
| Thiel Owners arvincastro,I was a child of the 60's and grew up in the heyday of the "receiver wars" - Pioneer, Kenwood, Sansui, Marantz to name perhaps the most popular brands. Prior to becoming able to afford any one of those my family's "stereo" was a Mag... | |
| Thiel Owners arvincastro...I am also a BIG fan of the 3.5's.As to your comments regarding how these speakers reveal flaws up and down the chain, particularly with digital formats, I can only state that the existing issue is not the speakers.So far as tossing... | |
| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? Personally speaking I wouldn’t do that. I haven’t done it. However...one of the MOST annoying aspects of purchasing equipment on A’gon is the 3-4% “fee” most sellers, individuals and bricks and mortar retailers alike, tack onto their merchandise ... | |
| Thiel Owners prof...I believe that I was running my first pair of 3.5's with a Cayin integrated that put out somewhere around 30 watts in triode believe it or not. As you've found yourself, running a little hotter volume wise really lets this brand sing but,... | |
| Thiel Owners dhoff01...Ya' know, describing the difference between the 3.5 and 3.6 models is something that I thought would be less than it really is, but the fact of the matter is that these are VERY different speakers. And far more different than moving "... | |
| Thiel Owners I’m freaking 60, very soon to turn 61, and since becoming a member on this lunatic site around 4 years ago I’ve burned through quite a few dollars on everything in the most futile of pursuits - perfection. Obviously my chronological advance has n... | |
| Thiel Owners Nah...my 3.6’s go 10hz lower and cost less than half. I’m sitting tight...for now. | |
| Thiel Owners In spite of my appreciation for BAT, I still believe that Pass Labs is one of, if not the best matches for Thiel. I just received my Reno Hifi 2018 calendar which also included a new Pass Brochure and I’m so...grrrr. We’re I a wealthier man...But... | |
| Thiel Owners Arniespin...The reason I went for the BAT over a more powerful Rogue model was twofold; 1.) One just wasn’t available at the time and 2.) I like swapping out stuff as quickly as possible and getting a decent enough trade-in toward the BAT expedite... | |
| Thiel Owners arniespin...I once had the Rogue Cronus Magnum Integrated a while back and I dug it like a shovel. I believe I had it going with a pair of Totem Rainmakers and a small REL sub. I very well might have sold that off when I got my 3.5’s and figgered ... |
