Best Component Ever, for the money
Thiel 3.6, a model that has been in existence 9 years with no upgrade - could easily sell for 2 1/2 times IMHO.

Hey Albert, mind if I cook burgers on your amps or should i bring a grill? 
Rotel conrad-johnson
The PV10 is a giant killer, a true bang for your buck component. I'm far from a techno wizard but you might want to check with CJ on how it mates with the low input impedance on the Rotel (with most of their models) and the relatively high output ... 
I opened both MIT and Transparent netwks
Dekay - I'm impressed, you know your ribs. 
Modification of speaker cables
Emily, mit reconfigured some speaker wire for me, went from biwire to single for thiels, cost was $100, I'm guessing retermination is cheaper. I've used bare wire and IMO you can't really tighten down the connections enough without almost breaking... 
Thiel cs3.6 keep blow up mid/tweter driv
Man, that stinks! I have a 3.6 and "knock on wood" haven't had any problems and I crank it pretty good on occassion with a classe ca200. Unless you really crank it until you hear some breakup I don't see how it blows, it sounds like some sort of s... 
Applause: Bummer
Hey Blbloom, I agree about Clapton "24 nights" - that was a great tour and the cd sounds pretty good, not compressed. He hasn't moved me much since Journeyman although back to the cradle has some good moments. 
BEST AC CORD UNDER 1000?
What I've learned thus far in this bizzaro hobby about pc's is that like anything else they alter the reproduction coming out of your speaks. You either like it or you don't or you get used to it or tired of it and make a change. I've experimented... 
Cowboy Junkies Fans........
Garfish - thanks for the heads up - they are without a doubt in my top 5 and have been for years. Ever seem em live? they've played near me a couple of times but i'm too lazy to go. 
Speaker Cable for Thiel 3.6
I'm using mit 750 plus 3, very satisfied, also using mit 330 shotgun ic's. smoooth, dynamic, great imaging and tons of low level information. as you already know this is a world class speaker but synergy is critical to bring out the best. good luck. 
Shipping amps upside down?
if it plays don't worry about it - most high end stuff is built like a tank, especially amps and speaks. 
Directv booster or amplifier
Thanks all, avguy I also get in the high 80's which is common around here, i use a monster s video cable, i believe the 1000 or whatever the model number. my only real complaint is the shadowing i get on dark scenes - i've never had the tv calibra... 
Thiel 3.6 s and amplifier choices
I use a classe ca200 with great results and all mit cabling, 330 shotguns and 750 series 3's. Plenty of power as the classe doubles down into 4 ohms. the mits compliment the thiels ability to image really well. I also have tubes in the pre which I... 
Cable assist needed Krell Amp Thiel CS6
MIT ic's and speaker cables are my rec., I use with thiel 3.6's and classe. Better results when you use mit cable throughout rather than mix has been my experience. 
Best Martini s
2 parts Vox Vodka, 1 part Dekuyper Sour Apple Pucker, and a very thin green apple garnish to float - the ultimate appletini.
