I would have knocked her out. 
Help me upgrade my Mac system?!
I agree with the posters above about your SF.  But first, I would encourage you to start with your source and consider a Basis TT and Vector 4 tonearm.  Is your Ortofon a Cadenaz Red?  If so it is a nice match to the Vector tonearm.  Thats where I...

tomic601 good call on the Kimber, 8TC is an extraordinary value and works extremely well with Thiels even better for me than 3035.  They can be lean in the midrange with Thiels so system matching is imperative.  I have also found Straightwire and ...

I tried Tara Labs The One and thought it was on the soft side.  I also tried some now discontinued PAD Provectus and it was better but was missing something.  I surmised that solid core speaker cables are not a good match with Thiel.

Long time Mac owner, 501’s for 15 years matched with CJ ET5 and driving Thiel CS6.  Great sound!  Mac takes a beating, oh and all MIT cabling which gets about the Same Treatment.  Mac owners have a deep pride of ownership, love the sound and nonow...

Hi Tom, I can't believe I had the restraint to not buy the 3.7.  I listened to it a lot at 2 different shops with difference electronics.  And to top it off it was my wife pushing me to do it!The 3.6 was like an old girlfriend, just couldn't give ...

@yabe1951. Nice amp and speakers you have.  I own both the 3.6 and CS6.  Thielist makes a good point about tradeoffs.  I am using the CS6 because I have a large room and the 6 is more dynamic than the 3.6.However, the 3.6 is the most transparent s...

@gmercer I am interested in SS for two reasons. One, as you mention retipping service for as long as you want.  This has become more interesting to me since my Transfiguration Proteus crapped out after 450 hours.   That was an expensive 450 hours....
