Which MIT cables for Thiel???
I was using 330 shotguns and auditioned some kimber ss and kcag and with my system it really opened up, more clarity, detail, and transparancy. I am now using kcag and kctg with MIT 750+ S3 with Thiel 3.6's and the result is the best I've had and ... 
Best city between these two?
I lived in Atlanta for 15 years, the traffic is a real problem - too much growth too fast, but it is a great place to live and raise kids, - your in the South! Cost of living is also very reasonable for a city that size, I have to emphasize that t... 
Which MIT Speaker Cables?
Vtin, a point I also wanted to make, I don't mean to imply that posters in this thread were bashing MIT, if you run through some history you will see MIT is a contraversial cable and the emotions run the gambit, there is very little middle ground,... 
Which MIT Speaker Cables?
Generalizations aren't good in anything but especially audio because of all the hundreds of variations, tastes, etc...MIT falls into that category with alot of posters. For me, MIT ic's don't work in my system, too warm, but the speaker cables int... 
Best amp for ML Z Quests?
Steve, I agree with you - Meridian amps are very good from my experience which is showroom only, I've been very impressed every time I hear them. I have always had Meridian digital - they don't seem to put much sales emphasis on their amps. Happy ... 
Best amp for Thiel 3.6 speakers?
Great speakers, I'm driving mine with a classe ca200, cj preamp, kimber wire - kcag, waiting on some kctg and 8tc. classe offers plenty of power, will drive the thiels as loud as i want to go with no congestion or brightness. One of the previous p... 
Best speakers for 2000-USED
Danheather, nice points, you are so right when you say matching up components...synergy is not easy to achieve. If you achieve it sooner than later then you are lucky. Again, I agree the Thiel 3.6's sound like a good match to me, Say811. One thing... 
Best speakers for 2000-USED
Thiel 3.6's are my favs. They do alot of things exceptionally well, image really well, nice bass, crystal clarity. They are extremely uncolored and put out what you put in. They will rock and acoustic guitar is very immediate and real. Snare drums... 
CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed?
That review offers no help in deciding if that particular product is worth a chance or audition. It was a lousy review by Martin colloms and done "half-assed" IMO. It was so matter of fact it looked like he had to do it out of punishment. Besides ... 
Kimber Monocle XL
Thanks for the input Mezmo. 
My girlfriend is pissed
Universal problem my man - you gotta be a little slick, hook the system up and let it warm up, do some rollin, then do some listenin. My wife of 22 years has given up - she now tells me she wishes she was a stereo cause the attention would be awes... 
Your opinion on burn in
South 43 - I believe once cables are burned in your done, the only time I worry about it is when I'm on vacation and come back or don't listen for a few days. I'll put a disk on and run it for a few hours. I don't notice any degradation, in fact i... 
John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense"
Remember, there are 3 fundamental structures to be successful in business; production, marketing, and sales. They are interrelated but have different goals. The cable industry is marketing driven. Marketing people will alot of times just pick a nu... 
Mixing Silver and Copper cables -- Good or bad??
I can give you my experience - I have all kimber - silver streak from dac to preamp and kcag from preamp to amp and 8tc to speakers. I don't notice anything but open, airy, dynamic, rich sound with incredible imaging. I personally have stopped tak...

Angela, i've had a ca200 for about 5 years and mine used to do that often and then mysterioulsy hasn't for years. that is the protection circuit kicking on, i'm no techie either but the bias on those amps is very high which can cause it to clip or...
