| Thiel Owners 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 ... | |
| Thiel Owners 02-11-2020 1:14amsolobone22M.I.T. is a sonic match for Thiel loudspeakers. Models will depend upon budget and taste. The company offers an extensive catalog of cabling.Happy Listening!Actually MIT has downsized (if that's the right word) into 3 c... | |
| Thiel Owners 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. | |
| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help Most of the bitching about Mcintosh on this thread comes from those that dollars to donuts can’t afford it,And to the gentleman who posted Wilson and Mac in the same thread above dollars to donuts can’t afford either and doesn’t have the proper ro... | |
| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help +1 Stereo5. You nailed it! | |
| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help 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... | |
| Has anyone seen this...? @uberwaltz.....priceless!!! LOL! | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 SE 01-06-2020 12:47pmNo thanks. I will wait for a Reference 45 SE MK III due out in a few years.opus111 don’t you mean in a few months? | |
| Thiel Owners 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 ... | |
| Thiel Owners @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... | |
| EMT and SoundSmith @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.... | |
| EMT and SoundSmith Good luck with your choice. | |
| EMT and SoundSmith Hi Dodgealum - what cartridge have you moved to - I was thinking of buying the Zephyr MIMC Star. I spent a lot of time with his Hyperion at the Cap Audio Fest in addition to the Strain Gauge and both were outstanding on his system.Those cartridge... | |
| Basis Vector 4 question Thanks Jim, good info. I am fairly certain the Vector will perform well with most cartridges. | |
| Classe 15 vs Classe CA200 Don’t know about the 15 but have had a CA200 for close to 25 years. Always worked well with tubes - CJ premier 14 and ET5. 75 ohm input impedance so it is an easy load for most tube preamps.Also drove Thiels with the CA200 - it is a beast at on... |
