| Selling my dads top of the line system You could also pay a lot less to use the Audiogon Blue book - 24 hours is $4.99? I think. Check it out. | |
| Thiel Owners Hello. Has anyone here conducted business with High End Audio Auctions on eBay? They’re located in Brooklyn. Reason that I ask is because they list a pair of CS3.5 currently. There’s no mention in their listing if the EQ is included. I just sent... | |
| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? Pass Labs X150.5Belles 250i Integrated Amplifier | |
| PASS LABS X150.8 AMP SUFFICIENT FOR B&W 803 D3s? I had a Pass Labs X150.5 prior which was rated at 150 watts 8ohms, 300 watts @ 4 ohms. I believe the X150.8 is rated exactly the same. Your speakers have a sensitivity rating of 90db, correct? Sheesh, you could power those with a 50 watt amp if y... | |
| Options on Belles / Belles Aria? Just an addition for anyone considering if Belles made good products. I’ve been listening to the 250i integrated for a few days now and all I can say is “wow.” IMHO, this is very similar to the sonics I enjoyed when I had a Pass Labs X150.5 amp c... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant...Yup - year’s ago I had a Rogue Cronus Magnum and enjoyed it. I think I had a pair of Totem Rainmakers at the time. Used Magnums, depending on the version, fetch around and upwards of $1,200. I also used a Rogue 66 pre for a while - durin... | |
| Thiel Owners jon_5912...I actually laughed out loud reading your post. Yup, same here. I almost decided to sell my house in order to keep the gear. Seriously.I might make an offer on a pair of 2.3's - I had a pair right before I discovered my first pair o... | |
| Thiel Owners prof Agreed - selling off stereo gear isn’t necessarily the path back to financial stability, but since two channel listening is my sole guilty pleasure I had, and have, nothing else of significant value to the general public. I woulda been worse ... | |
| Thiel Owners prof... I sold off a bunch of my gear last due to a wholly unanticipated, devastating blow to my finances. The upside to having good stuff is being able to sell it off and use the funds to pay off things. Ugh. The list of equipment I’ve bought an... | |
| Options on Belles / Belles Aria? Hello. I just purchased a used Belles 250i Integrated from another Audiogon member. I cannot begin to describe how good this thing is. Right now I’m listening through a pair of Maggie MMGi’s, through an Oppo CD player. Nuttin’ fancy BUT, the Bel... | |
| Thiel Owners Shite. I almost returned to Thieland a week or so ago when I offered $500 for a pair of CS3.5 from a seller within driving distance. I had just sold off the Meadowlark Kestrels to another member here and couldn’t believe my good fortune finding ... | |
| good preamp for First Watt F7 I once had a First Watt M2 amp that I employed through a simple tubed pre - I forget what manufacturer. It sounded beautiful. After that I always put a tubed pre with my Pass Labs amps, too. Just a “me” thing but I liked the results. | |

| Thiel Owners unsound typically relates a valid point regarding how good the 3.5’s are. My listening room was 24 long by 14 wide with a ceiling sloping from 9 to 17 feet. On the left is a wall, on the right the wall is 14 feet away. Tough room to tame. As I’ve... | |
| Thiel Owners Interesting dialogue about Thiel and Maggie’s...Previously, I’ve stated that Thiel struck me as Maggies with more bass. I stick with that. I’ve had two pairs of the MMG -.one with the bass module which did ZIP to augment anything good about them -... |
