| pros and cons: beryllium vs ribbon tweeters in sound and emotions terms Hello...Sorry, not a contribution to the specific model but a question....Looks like I might be able to pick up a pair of VR-5's locally for approximately $1,000. I had a pair of VR-4's last year. The ones I'm considering are in VERY good shap... | |
| Thiel Owners unsound....Aargh! I'm an idiot. The Primare I just purchased is the 34.2, not the model I stated in my previous post. Either Auto-fill got to me before I noticed or I just flubbed typing it.In either case, Primare doesn't offer/disclose a 4 o... | |
| Would you be more likely to buy new gear out of state if there was no sales tax For the most part if you buy online you don't pay your residing state's sales tax. I've bought from Nevada, Arizona....etc etc etc, and so forth.For me it's not the evasion of paying it, it's simply who has what I want. | |
| Servers: Are we there yet? Hello again folks,My new Sony Hapz1es is due to arrive on Wednesday the 10th. I just had a discussion with one of my audio guys whom, even though he does not sell it, agreed with me that this is perhaps the best solution for me. I got to liste... | |
| Thiel Owners robinbarbour....Thanks for the tip! Believe it or not the pair I picked up in November from a fellow member for $350 ( !!! ) is in better shape. They're close enough to my office in NJ to inspect if the seller will allow that. I'd like to get a... | |
| Servers: Are we there yet? arafiq...I had no issues with the BLUESOUND Node 2 nor the Vault2 | |
| Servers: Are we there yet? Hello folks....I sold my Bluesound Vault2 with Node2 to a fellow member here (most current iterations) after growing tired of getting too damned close to my computer too often to play music. My computer is upstairs, my stereo is downstairs, to ... | |
| Thiel Owners unsound...Yeah, I have seen a pretty good amount of Threshold pieces about the inter-web thingamabob but my skepticism about their provenance has kept me from actually dipping my toes in the proverbial waters. Price wise they're certainly in my ... | |
| Thiel Owners unsound...Funny, I'm not getting that CJ "warmth" from the 200 as much as I did when I had the MF2100 a few years back, but then I was also using a CJ preamplifier - I forget the model number - that, I think, imparted that perception of warmt... | |
| Thiel Owners Unsound....Not petty at all regarding my misnaming the Thiel eq. Part of my pair's provenance, as related to me by the fellow member whom I bought them from, is the possibility that Jim himself handled the eq when it was sent back for a very min... | |

| Thiel Owners Here's some food for thought...For the past twelve months or so I've been buying/selling equipment like I'm going to the chair. 2 McIntosh pieces, Von Schweikert speakers. etc. etc. etc. Ridiculous!Somewhere in the middle of last year I purc... | |
| Thiel Owners I just noticed that Thiel has a Facebook or Tweet account. Perhaps you can get in touch with them there, | |
| Yet Another Budget Integrated Amp Question There's a couple of Primare integrateds listed here currently. They're class d amplification. I just purchased a new i22 model,. 80 watts into 8, 160 watts into 4 ohms. Excellent all around in terms of quality, and in my opinion a very neutral s... | |
| Greatest Rock Guitar Riffs R. I. P. Paul Kantner. Dug out "Surrealistic Pillow" and "Bless Its Pointed Little Head" in memorium upon learning of his death last week. On vinyl; to listen again on any other format struck me as possibly being disrespectful. Man, what a cas... |
