Thiel CS2 So...how do you like them Thiels? | |
Thiel Owners jonandfamily...In the 40 or so years that I’ve been buying “hifi” I’ve never blown a speaker nor a fuse. In all this time I’ve never given a single thought about a fuse’s impact on the sonics of my gear - which is not to say that I doubt there mi... | |
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report To say that yesterday was a bad news day is an understatement. At virtually every get together I've attended over the years somewhere, somehow, Tom Petty makes it onto the playlist at everybody's house. Simply by playing TP & The Heartbreakers... | |
The Music Room I recently purchased a BAT300XSE integrated amp from them that arrived DOA. I called/emailed immediately, dealt with a gent named Karl who simply addressed my plight, resolved it, handled it professionally. He sent me a shipper back to BAT, shippe... | |
Thiel Owners saffron...A pretty good while back. I still have two pairs of shorter Goertz Veracity that I used with my cheap-seats Musical Fidelity monoblocks on my 3.5's. I think I had an ARC linestage back then. Probably. I don't remember what the Goertz rep... | |
The best books on music Conversations In Jazz, Ralph J. Gleason. I wish I had more of his stuff. Amazing that I was reading this cat when I was 12-ish. | |
Speaker cables for BAT - Dynaudio I have the BATVK300xse and I just swapped out a pair of 8 foot Transparent Music Wave cables for a 6 foot pair of Goertz Veracity cables that I bought a pretty good time ago. They can be tough to find on the used sites, and they can get pretty bea... | |
Thiel Owners Jafant...Perhaps even shortening the cables from 8 to six feet helped as well. Something's contributing to the improvement. Hmm, methinks it's time to sell the REL T7 I bought a couple weeks back... | |
Thiel Owners Jafant...No, just the speaker cables. The 3.6's are a tough beast to get to sound "right". Of course my comparison is weighed against my appreciation for how good the 3.5's were. Perhaps upgrading my power source with the BAT300xse AND the cable s... | |
RIP John Bonham Threads have a way of meandering off-point that sometimes take on new lives and subjects. For me personally Bonham was the guy that made me acknowledge drums as an instrument. I didn't possess a bias against drummers or anything, after all I was a... | |
Your advice to speakers designers I'm going to kind of go along with the "making acceptable" furniture point by saying that on almost all of the speakers I've owned the finishes are so delicate it's near impossible not to inflict damage/scratches, etc. on them. I totally understan... | |
How to hook up a subwoofer with an integrated amp? I recommend REL. Easy hookup, excellent sonics. | |
Thiel Owners Arniespin...I reside in the 'boibs, out on the island in Lake Grove - a town with neither a lake nor a grove in site. What makes up for the lack of namesake is a good little store right around the corner from me, Audio Den. It was opportunity that... | |
Thiel Owners vair68robert...Feh - I've learned to forgive what my room doesn't and just get back to listening to music. I dug through my magic bag of speaker cables today and found - to my glee - a 6 foot pair of Goertz Alpha Core Veracity cables that I bought... | |
Thiel Owners Arniespin...Big congrats on receiving the 3.7's safely! I received my 3.6's from Chicago on a pallet and I was literally watching the weather from start to finish. Cool that you could compare the differences side by side between the 3.5/3.7 too. ... |
