What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Definitely Wayne Shorter.   
What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased?
I have to apologize to the op for going off in a different direction on my previous post. For the record, I’ve had three pairs of the CS 3.5 Thiels; my nephew has my first pair, the other pairs I sold off here and elsewhere for a number of misguid...

Evolve - Ani DiFranco  
What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased?
@bdp24… After I had my first pair of MMG’s I moved up the line, the .7, followed by the 1.7i model. To my humble ears the .7 presented better than the 1.7i - although either model possessed the Maggie magic. One of the issues I have with Maggies...

Much to my chagrin…Thiel CS 3.5 and Magnepan MMG. As Joni Mitchell once remarked, “ you don’t what you’ve got till it’s gone.” Currently I have a pair of MMG back in my setup, the eventual return of the 3.5 will come when the stars, the moon, and... 
Streaming vs Physical Media
I stream Qobuz daily for roughly 3 - 4 hours depending upon how involved I become with what I’m doing on my desktop. I’m not looking for high fidelity there, it’s simply the easiest way to listen to any music. If I feel that a certain track or art...

My next house will have a more suitable listening space!  
New Aurender Conductor Problems
I haven’t experienced any problems with Aurender’s conductor app, which I utilize exclusively on a 9th generation iPad. I just purchased an N100H 2TB model, used, from TMR and so far I am fairly pleased with it.  Frankly, after having a Bluesound...

Jafant… My appreciation for the Belles 250i Integrated has as much to do with its outstanding sonics as it does, as such things develop over time, with its owner David Belles. There is little, make that zero, information available on this integra...

@halifax:  Thank you for the heads up on the 3.5’s. At this moment in time I am simply making adjustments to improve my current setup, which only today scored a Mytek Liberty DAC to replace a Jolida FX Glass Tube unit. The Belles 250i Integrated 2...

@unsound. Oops, damn typos. Yes, I meant I will see if I can find a local dealer with the new Maggie sub. Unfortunately, my very local shop, Audio Den, is no longer carrying Magnepan, so I’ll probably have to make a trip into Manhattan.    Re: yo...

@unsound. Your points regarding the existing similarities/differences between Thiel and Magnepan are, as usual, spot-on.  Obviously, since Tom was buying the CS 2.4’s we had to hear them. (I’m still with the Belles 250i Hybrid Integrated) After al...

Rather removed from the typical subject matter discussed here, I feel compelled to boast about the all too brief meeting I had earlier today with Tom Thiel - who is the new owner of the pair of CS 2.4’s we transacted for.  To say the least, Tom i...

@Tomthiel They’re your’s.  Thanks!

Hey kids! It's been a while since I've posted anything here, and it's been an equal length of while since I've sold anything here. I don't know WTF A'gon has done to the site since I've been more or less MIA, but I've been trying to list a pair ...
