"Local" seller where possible - although I've driven 250 miles to Massachusetts twice to pick up a pair of Ohm Walsh 2's and then a pair of Thiel C... | |
| Subwoofers I used the Maggie MMG Bass panel with my MMG's a few years back and while I'm a fan of Maggies I can't say that I found anything gainfully enjoyable with it in place. First of all the additional wiring was something I was trying to avoid. I eventu... | |
| Thiel Owners Is anyone here aware that there is now an official factory Thiel outlet store on eBay? Odd, methinks, that a company with a reputation in the audio world as enviable as their's wouldn't consider this site as their first choice? | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? We're all as mad as hatters regarding this tinker. If one's budget has the bandwidth to accomodate expensive equipment, or cabling -more power to you. (Wow, there's a couple of unintended associated references...)I've been disappointed by a few of... | |

| Magneplanar .7 speakers. Have you heard or own them?? I was just this week lucky enough to get a pair of .7's from a fellow member who had them for all of 6 months -$1200 including the acrylic stands. After auditioning them against the 1.7i's a couple of weeks back I truly scored a great buy here. Th... | |

| Best Rock Album of 2016 They just started playing the snot out of the new Radiohead release on WFUV here in NY and now I'm finally not confusing them with Coldplay any longer...and I like what I've heard so far. Surprising even myself I discovered a Radiohead cd in my co... | |
| Vinyl sales Regardless of the well intentioned inflationary comparative offered below I never felt as pinched spending $5.99-$6.99 on vinyl back in the "good old days" as I do now spending $20 and up. Personally I buy all 3 formats regularly without disparag... | |
| Vinyl sales Even with the decline of downloads that medium's sales far exceed that of vinyl's and the reason is obvious - vinyl is more expensive. A download costs around $10-$12, the same recording on vinyl? Double that. Vinyl also requires the listener to ... | |

| Thiel Owners Just an update...Just this afternoon I replaced all the tubes in the B. A. T. preamplifier, four 6922 and two 6V6's because having bought it used I had no idea of their length of service. (All Genelax Gold Lions)Those it came with were GE and So... |
