| Thiel Owners I think that the ongoing debate regarding cables is rendered moot when one considers what a difference an amp, or a preamp, or any piece of equipment contributes to a system's overall synergy. Thiel took me on quite an interesting journey to fi... | |
| Thiel Owners Heck, there’s a pair of CS 6 up for grabs right here on Audiogon for $1200, but either they are in pretty funky condition or the seller’s camera can’t do them justice.In the not too distant past I probably woulda jumped ugly on ‘em based on the se... | |
| Best rock song of all times Okay...anudder OBVIOUS one...”Heartbreaker” - Led Zeppelin. That it’s also also one of the best rock riffs ever is beside the point. I read an article many years ago regarding the techniques used recording the tune. If my 60+ year old memory has r... | |
| Best rock song of all times bdp24...Yup - that cut is absolutely insane. Even when I listen to it now it gets around 4-5 replays instantly. I can only imagine what it would be like live. In the the same vein I’ll offer “Right Hand Man” by Joan Osborne. Song just goes... | |
| Best rock song of all times Okay...one more. “Mercury Blues” - David Lindley & El Rayo XA kick in the pants and one of THE most absolutely effen raucous 4 minutes ever put down. Play it LOUD. | |
| Best rock song of all times Shite. Hmmm...okay, ONE of my faves simply because it’s just freakin’ THERE immediately. You Really Got Me - The Kinks. | |
| Company loyalty- What has been your favorite? Pass Labs. Belles. Thiel. Magnepan. I’ve had many others but these guys ring my bell. | |
| BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER Oh, hell. For me it’s Ella Fitzgerald amongst all the others worthily mentioned here. It’s Ella singing anything. I have no favorite track, I can listen to her for hours on end. (Gotta love music servers and/or streaming.)Big Joni fan, too - but m... | |
| best vintage stereo receiver I gifted two receivers to my now ex-gf, a Marantz 2250B which we used in the master bedroom, and a Pioneer SX-1080 which we used in the den. Back in the day my first receiver was a Sansui 7070 - I couldn’t afford the 9090DB. Frankly speaking, they... | |
| Top Ten "Definitions of an Audiophile" Hmmm. I’m an audiot. Fortunately I’ve stopped chasing the dragon ever since 2018 kicked my financial ass. I’ve been fortunate to be on the rebound, and I’ve gathered together a modest system that pretty much delivers everything I had in the past,... | |
| Thiel Owners Just for the hell of it...Another good artist to throw at your system is Ani DiFranco. Living In Clip is a good live recording showcasing some pretty dramatic dynamics. Plus I dig her guitar playing like a shovel. | |
| Thiel Owners newtoncr...I heartily suggest that you seek a Belles amplifier for your 2.4’s. If you search on the shark you’ll find a couple 150A amplifiers for sale as well as a few of his preamps. If the amps are in good shape, and if they’re anywhere near ... | |
| Thiel Owners thosb...Wow, it's been quite the while since I've owned the 2.3's I'll do my best to lend you some idea...When I moved up from the 2.2's to the 2.3's I perceived a richer midrange overall. The highs were also more, for lack of a better descript... | |
| Thiel Owners Having begun with the CS2.2's, then CS2.3's, then CS3.5's, then CS3.6's, and now with my recently acquired pair of CS2.4's I think I can offer a little healthy opinion upon what one may encounter when "moving up" the Thiel product line. Again,... |
