| Thiel Owners Open question...I have a very good pair of CS3.5's right now but, as mentioned a few posts back, had offered $1100 for a pair of CS3.6's here on Audiogon which was declined. The seller just messaged me that their buyer backed out after they accep... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? As the most recent admittance to the "middle-aged-white-males-having-heart-attacks" club I again offer a Pete Townsend lyric...Wait...too close for comfort!Rock on A'gon members! | |
| Thiel Owners dklap...Thanks for that tip regarding the legacy products. Great to know. | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...I have to admit that I exercise caution when touting a commercial enterprise here for reasons that are obvious to everyone who buys/sells and posts here. I like the "real world" opinions of people who own and live with the equipment we di... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...I stopped by the store yesterday and will be picking it up Thursday. Aaaaargh! Great folks at Audio Den here in Lake Grove but thankfully they really take care of me. I also checked out a pair of Maggie 1.7i's just for the hell of it.... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...Actually it's just having its toggle switch replaced. My dealer had to request one from BAT. The wait is killing me but... | |
| Opinions Needed! The Sony Hapz1es is the first piece of Sony equipment that I've owned since I purchased the Walkman way back when...After trying out two Olive Media products, a ReQuest Audio, and BlueSound, I have to state that the Sony meets my needs far bett... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Perhaps I'm a tad ignorant but...can you actually "hear" a fuse? | |
| Thiel Owners Had a great "Thiel weekend" with my current setup...Primare amp, Classe pre, Sony HapZ1es server, Thiel CS 3.5 with Transparent Wave cables. (Transparent Link connects on everything in between) I'm still awaiting the return of my BAT VK3i pre... | |
| Garry Shandling RIP Totally bummed to learn of his passing last week. I can't understand why The Larry Sanders Show isn't in reruns somewhere on cable - a truly groundbreaking, original, superbly written and performed example of ensemble television. I believe thi... | |
| Thiel Owners Damn...the store only had one pair of Transparent Link interconnects in stock. I ordered three more pairs, and I may have to purchase a few pair of balanced cables since the BAT has those as well.Since Transparent offers a trade up program on th... | |
| Thiel Owners Going to Audio Den now...just around the corner from me house. Speaker cables are The Wave, I believe they're the least expensive from Transparent but I like them. They're 10 footers although 8 would have sufficed, bananas on both ends. I have to... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...I am slowly moving toward all Transparent Audio cables in my system. Unsound...there's a pair of 1000 watt DSonic mono blocks up for sale here - $775 - that oughta be enough for those CS 5's doncha think??? | |
| Thiel Owners jafant...i dunno about the Primare preamplifier...just a "me" thing about having an all one-brand setup,..ya know? But based upon their R32 phono preamp and this amp I'd have no problem perhaps, maybe, doing so down the road. I could sell my Peac... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant...I've been running the Primare through a Classe pre and an Audio Research pre for about a week now. (I'm also coming into a BAT VK3i preamplifier pretty soon...) I'm leaning more toward the ARC preamplifier as that appears to be my "Thie... |
