| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? While I've never heard the Micros I did pick up a pair of Walsh 2's a few years ago on this site for $500, and only afterwards discovered they were still in business here in NY, in Brooklyn, a mere 50 miles from my house. After a brief email excha... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I'm still breaking in a Primare A34.2 Class D amplifier mated to a B. A. T. VK3i tube preamplifier...150 watts into 8 ohms, "almost double that into 4." (Primare's response to my inquiry regarding the non-disclosure of its 4 ohm rating.) Primare'... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...Right now I'm listening to Mose Allison and everything is spot on. The B. A. T. VK3i is one of the best preamps I've owned. True to my intent and hoped for in my expectations is it's definition; the "reigned in" impression I previously m... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Bdp24...Going to buy that Kevin Gordon record! | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Joan Osborne - "Relish"One of THOSE albums without a single bad cut. "Right Hand Man" alone is worth the investment. Lucinda Williams & Kevin Gordon - "Down To The Well"A track culled from a festival collection. A killer cut lyrically and soni... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...Currently I'm using a Sony Hapz1es music server for all my digital stuff which is a really good piece of equipment. It has a 1TB hard drive which I've barely put a dent in. So far as synergy goes I'm still checking it out. I'll be buyin... | |
| Thiel Owners Mapman...Dig in, you won't regret owning Thiels. If at all possible try to locate 'em geographically convenient since even the smaller models are HEAVY. My CS 3.5's are a permanent fixture even though I've had Magnepan,. Von Schweikert...all ver... | |
| Thiel Owners I finally received the BAT VK3i preamplifier back from the good folks at Audio Den here in beautiful downtown Lake Grove. Along with it I also purchased my last set of Transparent input connects so now I'm 100% Transparent on everything - except t... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...No, at least not for the moment!I still have my new Primare A34.2 amp that's barely, not even broken in. I also have a "spare" CJ MF200 amp as well. I was actually thinking of returning to Pass Labs amplification. but the 150.5 that I ... | |
| Magneplanar .7 speakers. Have you heard or own them?? Sunnyjim...I only just last week compared the 1.7i and the .7's at my local audio dealer while I was waiting for the return of my preamp. At home I sit around 10-12 feet from my speakers (currently Thiel CS3.5) while in the store the distance was... | |
| Worst or Best Excuses! My girlfriend doesn't know midrange from a gas range but she does know that some equipment is better than than others simply by listening. In her house I've provided two setups...downstairs living room sports a Marantz 2250b stereo receiver, a si... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...No. Rather than going to an electrical supply store for this they are dealing directly with BAT - and they were sent the wrong toggle switch. Grrrrr.... It's just a flipswitch! I'm not being charged for this so my patience is extend... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Wow - Humble Pie!Great to see some people still listen to them - they were my first live concert in 9th grade. (This was a post-Frampton membership show at CW Post College on Long Island.)"Live At The Fillmore" remains today as one of the very fe... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? "Why?" - Ginger Baker. Baker's short-lived fame in the rock realm does an injustice to his overall career. His personality never helped him in any way, either. Both those sentiments aside, he deserves recognition for his artistry and sensibilitie... | |
| Thiel Owners Unsound...Thanks for that clarification. I'm sticking with the 3.5's simply because they're so damn good as is. |
