| Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature I kinda think it's cool that he's gotten it. We cant "knight" him, after all. | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant..."Cyril Davis" from the album "Why?" is indeed my reference tune when I'm weighing comparisons - that tune with my Pass X150.5 a while back was pretty much stunning. There's a similarly named cut on another one of his albums entitled "Cyr... | |
| Thiel Owners My living/listening room has a ceiling that slopes from 9' to 17' feet at its apex with sidewalls on the left about 4 feet, and about 14 feet from the right speaker, plus a hardwood floor. Oy vey - a pretty difficult room to get a grip on for an... | |
| Thiel 3.5 equalizer advice I don't believe Thiel still sells them but they can be repaired | |
| Thiel Owners Not using the eq does affect the imaging, methinks. | |
| Thiel Owners catalysis...Your points were spot-on regarding how the 3.5's sonics improve when the amplification is warmed up a while. I've mated my solid state amp to a tubed pre-amp and I usually, but not always wait about 15 minutes before playing anything... | |
| New Sony HAP-Z1ES Firmware Out Today I should also point out that rescanning the HAP's hard drive takes HOURS... | |
| Thiel Owners Stop me now!!!A pair of CS7's on here for $2190??? Even with shipping cost additional from Florida...? Anyone here have any spare common sense for me??? Woe is me...I really have to stop coming here...my wallet is fast becoming as thin as a lea... | |
| New Sony HAP-Z1ES Firmware Out Today Thanks for the heads up, Stereo5...my Hap is updating as I write this.goheelz...I use both my home wifi network and an external Apple USB CD drive to install my music files onto the HAP. At first I transferred my entire iTunes library onto the HA... | |
| Thiel Owners A lot of the pre-owned Thiels one sees here and on eBay share the "dimpled driver" syndrome as do many other makes. The pair I purchased a year or so ago from a fellow member and the sole owner did not suffer from the malady - and they're perhaps... | |
| Thiel Owners Dave....If Jim Thiel was still around today I'd trademark the term "Thiels Reveal" and give it to him for nuttin'. I coined that phrase after selling off a pair of Maggie MMG's - which at the time I was utterly pleased with - until I got the 3.5'... | |
| Thiel Owners So far as the Primare A34.2 amplifier goes, I've not found a reason yet to replace it right now. (Indeed I want to return to a Pass Labs but even used pricing has soared recently so...) The Primare is 150 watts into 8ohms and - according to a dire... | |
| Favorite guitar players not named...... I think it's great that many of the artists named here, famous and not so much, are not by definition "shredders." I saw Buckethead mentioned earlier here, and while he is indeed a shredder when and most often he is inclined to be, there are cuts... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...I'll be sticking with the BAT preamp. Like my CS3.5's it seems to have found an un-rotatable place in my system. Mind. Heart. | |
| Thiel Owners GAS Son Of Ampzilla update...Given its age I had relatively low expectations for this piece and my pre-assumptions about its sonics were fairly spot-on. (I have a Pioneer SX 1080/Marantz 2252b/Conrad Johnson MF200 in controlled storage as well.)A... |
