| Thiel Owners Jafant...They were silver looking floorstanders. Yes, after having the Pass twice I just decided it was time to leave separates behind. I was becoming too gear oriented methinks. I'm kinda nuts for doing so but...it's only a possession and I can... | |
| Thiel Owners Whoa...been busy as hell here. Anyway...Audio Den carries the full Transparent line but doesn't stock every sku. I had a revelation about two weeks ago regarding the crazy pursuit of this enjoyable hobby. I came to the realization that while it ha... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...I am actually going to stop into the Den tomorrow to see if they've upped their vinyl selection. I'll inquire as to how deep they go into Transparent. Hope they don't have anything that I just gotta have... | |
| Thiel Owners By the way, in case anyone was interested in learning if one can upgrade a Pass X150.5 to a 150.8, as I inquired with Pass directly, the answer is no. According to Pass they are completely different. I almost cried. But what the hell...that's the ... | |
| Thiel Owners Laughing, Jafant... Audio Den is just around the corner from me - literally, a leisurely 15 minute walk from my house when the sun is shining. They became a Transparent retailer last fall. I'll be moving up the line at an equally leisurely pace th... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...As I've said before I start out low and move up the food chain as finances allow. I'm still with the base Music Link Transparents which are fine as is. Frankly I don't believe that moving up will yield me any discernible improvements, at... | |
| Thiel Owners Psssst...I haven't chimed in for a while but I have continued to follow this thread as a matter of habit. It's a good one.Jafant...If you haven't yet decided on your amplification I will once again offer how fine a match my Pass Labs X150.5 is wi... | |
| Opinions on Thiel CS2? My enthusiasm neglected to include mentioning that Thiel's Rob in the service department can give you advice and estimates on anything you might find needs replacement/refurbishing for the 2's. That's comforting to know that the legacy models can... | |
| Opinions on Thiel CS2? Buy 'em! | |
| To Pre or not to Pre? Here is my take Not only is your ARC LS2 preamp adding something to your amp's sonic signature, ALL preamps do. (I've had an LS2, an LS3, and a good many other preamps in my system over the years as well.)I've also added a "passive" preamp to my system and di... | |
| Thiel Owners I drive from NY to Boston to pick up my first pair of 3.5's for $850, my second and current pair of 3.5's found me in deep New Jersey, but at $350 who am I to kvetch?For my next upgrade into Thiel I will allocate a 5 hour trip, 10 both ways. They... | |
| Request advice-need "brighter" speakers than Totem Hawks I had a pair of Hawks myself and while I found the mids and highs to be commendable it was the bass that I found to be somewhat "rounder" than I appreciate. Mind you this is in comparison to Thiel CS3.5's which some people regard as being too bri... | |
| Thiel Owners To robinbarbour's statement that once you have Thiel in your system you "can't let go..."True!My CS 3.5's are irreplaceable. They remain the one component that I've found to be my reference source without consideration for price up or down - espec... | |
| Thiel Owners unsound...Not yet - too busy! | |
| Thiel Owners Santa suffers from the same misconception that my entire family shares when it comes to buying wine or any electronic gadget for me at gifting time - they think I won't like it because I already have enough of either to satisfy my curiousity. Howe... |
