| Thiel Owners Jafant...My first Pass design amplifier was a First Watt M2 which up until then struck me as one of the most colorless amps I'd owned. Rated at 40 watts per channel into my 4ohm Thiels I assumed having more power, the headroom at least, was a wis... | |
| NY Audio Show Ugh! Please forgive my auto-fill error in my previous post! | |
| NY Audio Show Damn! I missed it! mapman... I met John Strobheem in the factory in Brooklyn when they upgraded my Walsh 2's a couple of years ago. A gent through and through. | |
| Thiel Owners Donzi...Jafant here is a vocal proponent of finding the correct cabling for our equipment. Until I began membership here I had a snake pit collection of various brands that I gave little thought to overall. It's difficult for me to acknowledge tha... | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables I've since gone 100% Transparent on my setup, but I still keep my Anti-Cables around just for comparison from time to time. They're cheap, they're well made, and they brought out the best in my Thiel CS3.5's. I went 100% Transparent as a test. I'd... | |
| Thiel Owners Just a thought on Thiel in general...Obviously Jim Thiel did not work within a vacuum all those years. I have to assume that he assembled a fine team of craftsmen to assist in bringing his theories to fruition. My question is, where did they all ... | |
| Thiel Owners Well, it finally arrived this afternoon from Nevada...My Primare A34.2 is back in the box, up for grabs here on the site. Damn, I forgot how heavy the Pass X150.5 was. Is. What I didn't forget was how great my Thiels sounded with it in the past. I... | |
| The demise of the music CD inevitable? When the companies producing discs cease being profitable from doing so then the cd will go the way of the dodo bird, the eight track, the cassette tape. Vinyl died as well, but we all see how that's turning out. There even seems to be renewed fa... | |
| Digital media server/players for a Skeptic? Personal experience...The first streamer/player I purchased was an Olive One 500gb (I think) then shortly afterward the 1TB model. It was easy to rip, easy to playback, sounded decent enough. Almost. It's appreciably small physically, the interfac... | |
| Current Thiel and Aerial owners-- please comment.. I replaced two pairs of Maggies, .7 and 1.7 respectively, as well as a pair of Von Schweikerts over the last year or so, never giving my current Thiel CS 3.5's up. As Jafant below knows all too well, I'm a Thielista - as is he. I'll soon be reacqu... | |
| Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature Geoffkait...I guess the number of my posts on the site are too few or too many for you? Whatever....Neither the Pulitzer nor the Noble requires the nominated to submit an application, nor is the Pulitzer an equal to being knighted. I am not now n... | |
| Top five live Rock And Roll Albums SOME live albums are indeed a cash-grab, but as many do manage to capture the vibe of an artist's performance - like most of what lenmc2964 began this thread mentioning. Lucinda's Fillmore recording is a perfect example of how a live performance c... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...My X-150.5 is enroute from Nevada. Should arrive by this time next week. Last night I heard my CS3.5's chanting for it, first a whisper, then a scream by this afternoon. Couldn't take it any longer. I might very well be DONE this time. I'... | |
| Top five live Rock And Roll Albums "Live In The Air Age" - Be Bop DeluxeFar superior to any of their studio recordings with a version of "Adventures In A Yorkshire Landscape" that is positively beautiful. Sonic quality is right up there with Humble Pie's "Rockin' The Fillmore". You... | |
| Similar sounding bands. Daws. They sound like everybody but Daws. |
