| Sony Hapz1es transfer Hell yes. I loaded my iTunes library into the Hap via Ethernet at first, which was about 120gb then. I've since begun loading my cd collection which is now taking up about 250gb with many more cd's to go. The itunes transfer was long, and subsequ... | |

| Resale value Nope. Everything I buy is my "absolute last" amp, speaker, whatnot...Damn this site! | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...Definitely not First Watt. The F6 offers the most power into 4 ohms which is 50 watts per channel which...may not be enough for your 2.7's. You already know how quickly I moved from my FW M2 amp to the Pass X150.5. Like I've mentioned my... | |
| Thiel Owners I think you might find the Rogues to be within your wheelhouse - at least certainly pricewise. I had a Cronus Magnum 100 w per side integrated and was quite content for a while. From what I've read excellent customer care as well. I was THIS clo... | |
| Thiel Owners Unsound...I haven't been there in about 8 months or so, but they do indeed offer a lot of home theatre gear which, as you stated, is probably a hefty percentage of their business. Personally speaking I ain't no fan of home theatre nor surround sou... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...Take your time, invest your time, it's your money and they're your ears. I've bought quite a few items from Stereo Exchange in NYC without a hitch, it being one of the VERY few stores you can still just walk right into without an appoint... | |
| Starting from scratch, passion for "steals" I wholeheartedly agree with martykl's point that the MMG's are the best "deal" out there for new speakers. Their build quality, their sonics are pretty much unbeatable at that price. Box speakers fetching the same dollars will no doubt strike you ... | |
| Starting from scratch, passion for "steals" Kythyn...Like you I started out with the Maggie MMG's which absolutely impressed me with their sonics. Almost immediately I added the MMG bass panel which, IMHO, added little to the performance and was something of a PITA with the additional wiri... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Kenny928...i just got another X150.5 and I ain't letting go of it. | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...I've had 2 Audio Research preamps in the past, an LS2b hybrid and an LS 3 solid state. I'm pretty much as big a fan of their preamps as I am of Pass Labs/First Watt Amps which, as you know, I've been heaping praise upon all over this thre... | |
| Thiel Owners If I'm not mistaken I do believe that Coda is manufactured from/by a few ex-pats from Pass Labs?They seem roughly the same in price, and from what I've read on this inter-web thing quite similar in performance/sonics.As Artie Johnson once uttered... | |
| Thiel Owners Hahhahhahhah!Thanks to all in this most genteel and informative of threads - best to all this forthcoming holiday weekend!Amazingly good stuff being bandied about here without descending into vitriol. Bravo! | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...Back to you. We know you're seeking to finalize your system around the Thiels "by 2017" but I don't think you've mentioned your current associated gear - and what is being replaced. I know you're considering Pass for amplification, but w... | |
| Thiel Owners unsound...Yes, I rushed in and bought the eq thinking it was the 3.5 eq - my error. I'm going to keep it anyway. I've been too caught up in business this week to contact Thiel. (I'm in the wine/spirits biz and the next six weeks are NUTS). I will... |
