| Thiel replacements Ketchup - what room treatment do you have between the speakers? If it's foam or absorbing that may be causing a grouping not allowing the soundstage to spread out. That has been the case for me - I now have a dispersion treatment between mine. The... | |
| SF Line 3-- Parasound JC-1-- Thiel 7.2 Cables ? Stewart - glad you like the M2's - they jumped my system up a significant notch also. I would check out some ic's - I like to have the entire system with network cables - best synergy. | |
| SF Line 3-- Parasound JC-1-- Thiel 7.2 Cables ? I second MIT's, 350 reference ic's, 350 EVO's or oracles for the interconnects - check out the MIT magnum speaker cables, either M2 or M1's. I have M2's, they sound better than Oracle V3's did between my Thiel 3.6 and Classe amp. Thiels and MIT's ... | |
| Classe CA-200 My understanding from Robert at Classe is aesthetics only - same guts. I have one with heatsinks on the back and have had it for about 7 years. Very musical amp. I think they updated the specs on the ca 200 to be like the 300 and 400 which always ... | |
| Clapton Me and Robert Johnson Hooper, good point about his voice-he is as convincing as ever with his singing. I love Clapton but admit he frustrates me - that double live album that he toured behind last don't remember the name was a big disappointment for me. I saw the conce... | |
| Guitar Solos Check out "Think I'll go back Home" from Stephen Stills self titled with Eric Clapton playing lead - great solo. | |
| Purist Audio & Stereophile Advertising plain and simple - the MOST effective way to market a consumer product - the MOST expensive way by far. I'm not in the advertising industry but I do know if a magazine isn't generating ads they aren't in business long - subscriptions d... | |
| Amp for Thiel 2.3s. Anyone use Classe with them? Classe and Thiel are a classic match. I use a CA 200 with 3.6's but also have cj tubes in the preamp. The sound is rich, revealing with no brightness unless the recording calls for it. | |
| Comparison: Cardas Neutral Ref vs. Goertz MI2 or 3 Mitch, I haven't had cardas in my system but I own Goertz M2's. Between my classe and thiel 3.6 I get punchy bass, a smooth fat midrange, nice, clear and fairly extended highs. Imaging is very good. The midrange is anything but hard, it's rich sou... | |
| Good Amp/Preamp for "bright " Thiel 3.6 speakers ? Alot of 3.6 threads lately, I've had a CJ premier 14 and Classe 200 combo for 3 years, all MIT cabling with my 3.6's. I like it alot. Haven't had tons of gear through here for comparison sake but I can listen for hours to this system. | |
| In Heavy Rotation? Lucinda Williams "World without tears"Wilco and Uncle TupeloNatalie Merchant "Carpenters Daughter"Shelby Lynn Roseanne Cash "10 song Demo" | |
| Calling all acoustic guitar fans... Steve Howe "Natural Timbre" - even a little Yes for a teaser. | |
| Help please...recommendations on affordable power The monster HTS 1000 is actually a great value - I have a 2000 on my home theater system and for kicks bought a 1000 for my audio system and it was a nice improvement in overall terms, mostly clarity. I prefer going directly into the wall with ded... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Yes Tim, life if short and cocktail hour is an important part of the day to wind down, reflect, oh yeah and on the weekends listen to loud music. It's like the statement on the sleeve of "let it bleed" "This record should be played loud." | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Ozfly - it's just being introduced so you'll see it everywhere soon - CP Dunn I have had Citadelle Gin and your right it is interesting. If you like Gin try Plymouth Gin from ...you guessed it Plymouth, England. I toured the distillery last year. ... |
