| Thiel Owners Michaeljbrown...I can heartily recommend Pass Labs X150.5 or up. I've seen a few in your price range and to my ears were the best amps for my CS3.5's. The X150.5 is 150 watts X 2 into 8ohms, 300 into 4ohms. I had an ARC LSB2 for the preamp. Also, ... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...My current pair of 3.5's did not have the spikes included so I simply used some isolation blocks to raise them to the appropriate height having them would have provided. The pair I gifted to my nephew did have them so I could measure. I'v... | |

| The Tragically Hip Another one of "those" bands that I've let slip from rotation until recently as I was ripping my cd collection into my server. I have three of their albums, purchased a long time ago at a now non-existent record store in lower Manhattan because t... | |

| 2016: a new year for music.... Omer Avital...While I'm at it has anyone here ever used a site called cdbaby? I just wasted a gorgeous afternoon wading through it. You can buy cd's or in some cases download flac files. Very cool site. Be forewarned, you're going to spend some ... | |
| What does "voiced" mean to you? When I purchased my McIntosh MA6200 200 watt per channel solid state receiver I was casually informed that it had been designed to "sound like" their tube amplifiers. Perhaps that put the proverbial bug in my ear but I thought it definitely didn't... | |
| What is going on? No-one buys good stuff priced right. tubegb...Bravo! I find it annoying that most of the equipment for sale here tacks on the PayPal fee in addition. While I know that we're not retailers or business owners (for the most part), imagine using your credit card in a store and having t... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...I visited the Coda site earlier this morning and from what I was able to decipher was that they have dealers only. No mention of a retailer. I've yet to see a Coda in any of the NY retail shops I visit so...I may very well be buying tha... | |
| Thiel Owners JafantI've owned 2 pairs of 3.5's actually and have had these for about 1.5 years. I purchased these from a fellow member for a whopping $350 believe it or not. My first pair were $800 and I drove to Massachusetts to pick them up. My nephew has t... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...I'd say 30-45 minutes overall. I believe the cabling was Cardas. I brought along my Astell & Kern AK100 portable player simply because it sounds excellent. Being so familiar and impressed by Thiel in general simply didn't warrant the... | |

| Thiel Owners I was tortured by NY/NJ traffic to get to the place where the speakers were, but that's typical. Physically speaking they were as expected for their age with no deal-killer imperfections to be concerned about. We listened through an amp with a sim... | |
