| Thiel Owners The seller of the 2.4's I'm thinking about is going to allow an audition which I will probably be able to schedule this Friday. This will be the very first time I've been able to hear a Thiel before I buy!The 3.5's are extremely difficult to best ... | |
| Thiel Owners The bug strikes again, opportunity knocks?There's a very nice looking pair of CS2.4's up for sale here by a good retail shop for $1995. It's within striking distance of my home. Well, 70 miles or so...Quiry:. Do I move up from my CS3.5's or...? | |
| Your favorite album cover... The iconic Led Zeppelin One. "Axe Victim" - BeBop Deluxe"Live At The Fillmore East" - The Allman Brothers (also iconic)"Revolver" - The Beatles"Rockin' The Fillmore" - Humble Pie | |
| The Best of Fellow Audiophiles. The best thing to happen to me in my pursuit of audio nirvana was stumbling onto this site as I was searching for I-forget-what a few years ago. Since that time I have learned an extraordinary amount from users with hands-on, ownership, practical ... | |
| Thiel Owners I've been following the new Thiel store on eBay for sh*ts and giggles and their most current offerings indicate the smarmy direction the new ownership has taken. The description on the new model is utterly void of any technical information, offeri... | |
| Marantz vs. Pioneer Receivers A little belated finding this thread but...It is difficult for me to prefer one over the other largely because either were manufactured possessing beautiful/handsome esthetics apart from their very decent - even by today's standards - sonic qualit... | |
| What in the world is going on..... I listen to music in my car either through a traditional original iPod 160gb or an Astell & Kern AK100. The differences between the sonics is night and day with the A&K obviously winning. There are many files shared between the two but I p... | |
| What in the world is going on..... That performance at the DNC was....good gosh. Well intentioned though it was, I was cringing. Phoned in? That would have been a wise decision! But one performance, one rendition doesn't negate a career that has been pretty damn amazing. Recent ... | |
| What in the world is going on..... If having a system worth upwards of $75k could make an album sound better I'd be squirreling away money to buy one - but I'll probably be dead before that happens. I play golf, badly, and not often as I'd like to. I could literally spend a couple ... | |
| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts Wow. Almost easy!1.) My first, Humble Pie at C.W. Post college, Long Island. Frampton had departed by this point but it most certainly did not matter whatsoever. Steve Marriott was Steve Marriott, say no more...2.) Newport Folk, the year Bob fina... | |
| What in the world is going on..... I can't say anything other than this particular record is not his best - So Beautiful So What is, IMHO, a far better album. I agree with the observations about its sonics - there's a marked difference between the two | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...Music Wave on the speakers, Link on the connects. Cheap seats to start! | |
| Thiel Owners jafant...I believe I have the Veracity speaker cables from Goertz which I ordered directly from them over the phone. Again, I start at the beginning and go up the food chains from there.I had bananas on both ends which were a nice tight fit on t... | |
| Thiel Owners I've used Anti-Cables too but their stiffness creates issues of their own which are more esthetic than sonic. I think the most dramatic or at least discernible immediate differences I experienced were with the Goertz cables and the Transparent. I... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...Until I landed here about 3 years ago I had pretty much regarded interconnects/speaker cables as the last thing on my list. Sight unseen, sight unheard, heck - the components came with them, right?I think the first "high end" amp I purcha... |
