| Cable recommendation for Classe-Sonus Faber set up Try Alpha Core Goertz MI-2's. Buy direct from factory for a 30 day trial. I'm using between Classe 200 and Thiel 3.6 and it is head and shoulders better than MIT, Kimber 8TC, and Coincident in my system. Speed, clarity, smooth, and images like a w... | |
| Best Amp/pre-amp for Thiel 6s I can only speak from personal experience - I have a CJ Premier 14 with Classe 200 and just installed Alpha-Core MI-2 speaker cables and the synergy is the best I've had. These cables really opened up my Thiel 3.6's, far exceeded my expectations. ... | |
| Speaker Cable Too Short What to do? Tim - thanks, a few of mine are good - most aren't but I do get a good idea once or twice a month...:-) | |
| Speaker Cable Too Short What to do? Asamualson, this is a great site, unfortuantely you will learn what Tim the Tireguy mentioned best in another post, when it comes to opinions on eq and cables most people highly recommend.... what they use. Good luck with MIT/Spectral situation - ... | |
| Cable Fetish: Exotic, Warm and Romantic Tim, do yourself a favor and subsitute Jim Beam Black for that Evan Williams!!!!!:-) | |
| CJ Premier 15 & 17LS Tube Suggestions Different preamp, but I have the premier 14 and replaced stock 6GK5's with Mullards and the improvement is not subtle. Much sweeter, more bass, richer midrange. The 14 is absolutely quiet with both types of tubes. | |
| Good upgrade amp for my Thiel 3.6s Justin, what preamp are you using? If I missed it above, sorry. A really good preamp really shines through the Thiels. I'm driving my 3.6's with classe ca200 and cj premier 14 with Mullard tubes - more than enough power. Great soundstage, awesome ... | |
| were should best cable go - CD or Preamp? Hi Grateful - this question will draw lots of different opinions so I will offer mine. I think the more revealing cable should go between preamp and amp depending on a variety of factors. First, the resolving quality of the pre and amp, if it is a... | |
| CJ Preamp help please I just got the 14, using with classe ca200... | |
| CJ Preamp help please Thanks Gino, I got a premier 14 with both stock tubes and a pair of Mullard's and Hitachi's I believe. The stock tubes sound to me like they have a little more air and the others I mentioned sound beefier, maybe not as detailed. I see what you mea... | |
| CJ Preamp help please Thanks everyone, great description Larry. | |
| Near field listening and speaker placement You also don't want a flat wall behind your speakers no matter how far out they are, I put 3 fig trees between and behind the speakers for dispersion and the soundstage and imaging improved... | |
| Which direction would you go? Mike, I would suggest, from my experience only, going with Classe amps - ca200. You'll find good deals used for around $1500 or less. It is smooth and a powerhouse - doubles down to 400w. I also have cj tubes in the preamp and Meridian front end w... | |
| Are Thiel 2.3 much better than the 2 2's? Great information from both Art and Obriander - one point worth a second is the accuracy and sensitivety of Thiels. I have changed several ic's, speaker cables, and a couple of power cords..and the change is immediately apparant with the Thiels, s... | |
| How does MIT vary the impedance of their cables? Speaking of MIT - I was deeply enthralled in a Clapton blues tune the other night and wham - left speaker goes dead. After some tinkering with everything, especially the speaker cable, I booted back up and it worked but the soundstage was pulling ... |
