WBT connector upgrade Definitely, I've had both on KCAG and KCTG, I noticed improvements dynamically, but even more in the midrange, more realistic. | |
Platforms: granite, marble, maple or other? Jafox, I haven't found many tweaks that have worked in my system. I will defend Garfish, not that you were attacking him, but because I have read many of his posts for the last couple of years and respect him and mainly because I caught a 5 pound ... | |
Speaker cable suggestions Try Alpha Core Goertz MI 2's flat cables - copper. I used these for years, on my system, which is different from yours but there are similarities. I have a Classe amp and Thiel 3.6 speakers which are both very revealing. They were smooth, punchy b... | |

Your experience with Thiel 3.6 Jcatral, I have had this combination for over 2 years and am very satisfied. In fact, I recently added MIT oracle V3 speaker cables, they now have about 500 hours on them and I have never heard my system sound so good. The ca200 is PLENTY of power... | |
Best drink while listening to your rig? Cpdunn99, trust me... | |
Best drink while listening to your rig? Booker Noe Bourbon - Booker is Jim Beam's grandson and is a 6th generation family member - they've got it right! | |
Preamp failure and what else An update, apparantly a tube was bad, but I used 2 different sets of NOS - one or some of the tubes must have been bad and one set I had been using for 12 months without problems until recently. Put back in stock tubes and no problems....so far. | |
Your experience with Thiel 3.6 I love mine too, I'm using cj prem 14 with nos tubes, classe amp, meridian front end - all on the softer side of neutral. Over the past year I have upgraded cables to MIT 350 ref and evo ic's and most recently Oracle V3 speaker cables and they mad... | |
Speakers that sound like Thiels on steroids. I have 3.6's with MIT Oracle V3 speaker cable and they are outstanding together - these cables take everything the Thiels do well and kick em up a notch - a big notch. More bass, smooth silky highs and the biggest difference - a more fleshed out m... | |
Speakers that have holographic imaging on vocals.. Thiel 3.6's and MIT Oracles speaker cables are spookin me on a regular basis. | |
What should i upgrade next? First of all, you have a very nice system. What I would do is upgrade your preamp to a CJ premier 14 - a big jump from the pv 12, or the 17 or a gigantic jump to the 16. Next, I would start with cables and get MIT reference stuff, either 350 refer... | |
Audible Illusions Modulus 3A vs. CJ Premier 14 ? Both are great preamps, I own the cj premier 14 and have heard AI numerous times and almost bought a couple of times but didn't pull the trigger. The premier 14 is more neutral IMO than the earlier premier cj's - but mine responds really well to M... | |
Joan Osborn sounding good. Get her latest, all cover songs - it's awesome - great sonics to! | |
Where should my equipment rack go? I would never move the rack from between the speakers at the sacrafice of lower quality cables - as long as your speakers are that far out from the front wall your fine. I've done it both ways and it was a very minimal if any difference for me. |
