Thiel 3.6 and 'grounding' / insulating
Pvanosta, I've had 3.6's for about 3 years now and find Goertz MI2's to be a nice match, Thiel does also. These cables give a more fleshed out, full bodied presentation in my setup. Also these speakers respond to every inch you move them which can... 
Choice of Amps
The only knock on Classe and metal drivers i've heard was a reveiw from stereophile on the m 700's - i can only speak for the newer classe's the ca series and they work extremely well with thiels which have metal drivers. 
Can anyone talk to performance of Thiel CS7.2's?
I'm with you Chuck - I love my 3.6's and want some 7.2's!! 
Looking for a Shotgun...
Bruce - as always - you da man!!! 
Directionality for Alphacore Goertz MI 2 cable?
Salby, I am using those cables between classe and Thiel 3.6's - I am getting no brightness at all, in fact until recently I was using all silver interconnects and still no brightness. My experience with these cables is the most neutral sound I've ... 
Interconnect length
No difference in sound but in any other application 1/2 meter is really short, I've got 2 sets of 1/2 meter and they worked great in my former configuation but are too short now, money saved now will cost you more later... 
Thiel 3.6 owners - what components are you using?
Turnaround, I've changed a few things since my Feb post (hope the wife doesn't read this) I now use CJ premier 14, MIT 350 ref and 350 shotgun EVO and currently goertz MI 2 speaker cables with greater satisfaction than before... 
MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em
What I don't get and never have is why MIT draws such angst and emotion. It's just a hifi component for goodness sake. A big reason I think our hobby is small in numbers is because of such subjective opinions that get shoved down people's throat a... 
I just installed NOS tubes?
I use NOS in my CJ premier 14, I notice a change immediately when I switch out. I go back and forth between stock and NOS. 
Krell and CJ?
Thanks for all the responses, it is a bit of problem since CJ has no balanced outputs and FPB (duh!) only accepts a balanced input. The KAS series sounds like a possibility but would be a risky investment without an audition and I can't say I've h... 
Are you going to buy the Rolling Stones SACDs?
Hell yes, I already have. I don't have SACD but the remaster job is good, all the stones remasters are good, especially post ABKCO by Bob Ludwig - Ben, "street fighting man" was recorded on a cassette deck and that was the raw, grungy sound they w... 
MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em
Carl is extremely knowledgeable, owns an excellent system but he didn't like it if you DISAGREED WITH HIM! I have seen him on the asylum dishing out good advice. Good thread Bundy, MIT will guarantee you 50 responses. MIT is the bomb!!! (that will... 
Krell and CJ?
Thanks Chuck, I know your a CJ man, me too, I really like the premier 14 and want to keep it in the system. I have heard Krell amps in showrooms only, some I liked, some I was run out of the room. But, I heard the 600FBP and it was pretty spectacu... 
Opinions on why this system is uninvolving
I haven't read any posts because there are too many and I'm too lazy, plus some of them are most likely worthless, sorry, I had to say that. If I'm being redundant, I apologize, I would get rid of all conditioners, especially the power wedge and g...
