| Speaker Width? Don't know if it's been mentioned in the thread but R. Vandersteen has a speaker placement method that works in my room. Divide the width and length of the room by odd numbers and the intersection points are potential spots for placement. Then c... | |
| Conrad Johnson preamp: ET5, ET7 (series 1 or 2) or ET3SE ?? @clearthink which ones have your heard? With what components?You are obviously entitled to your take but the newer models with CJD teflon caps are anything but what you describe.And FYI not everyone listens to digital. | |
| What power cord do you like most on your amp ? Wywires on my Classe or Macintosh monos. It does a lot and very little at the same time. Brings a level of quiet and refinement but does not emphasize any frequency like so many others I have tried. | |
| Conrad Johnson preamp: ET5, ET7 (series 1 or 2) or ET3SE ?? I have been a CJ fan for years and currently own 2 models - a premier 14 and ET5 which you inquired about. The ET5 is airy, detailed, throws a wide clear soundstage with a very smooth revealing top end. I have used it with the stock EH and Philips... | |
| Replacing Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity Speaker Cable @ketchup - heatsinks on the back, MI2 but have used 3’s. I use Thiels. Had the same problem with MIT V3 a few years back that we couldn’t solve.Have used a dozen or more other cables with no issue. | |
| Replacing Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity Speaker Cable That’s strange ketchup my ca200 goes into protection mode without the zobels. | |
| Analysis plus ova 9‘S vs. Kimber cable 8tc’s. You can't go wrong with either choice, in fact if budget allows buy one of each to really spend some time with them.Also, I agree adg101, buy a single wire with jumpers. AP makes very reasonably priced jumpers BTW. | |
| Top Ten "Reasons I Don't Like This Component" I love Thiel but having binding posts on the bottom of the speaker with legacy models is a major hassle when connecting cables. | |
| GO PATS! The SB is so over hyped and over produced it is barely watchable anymore. My only hope is big corp doesn’t do the same to college football. | |
| Eggleston Works speakers: Expensive, but are they worth the money?? @sunnyjim I owned Andra II’s for 3 years. They are great speakers but I ended up selling them as my long term reference has always been Thiel, a very different sound. I own 2 pair of them. The Eggys did a lot right, great midrange and bass, very ... | |
| Thiel Owners Cool Jafant - sounds like a great day! I still have my Classe CA200 amp and meridian Digital player I bought from HiFi Buys around 22 years ago when I lived there! | |
| Value of upgrading only 1 set of interconnects? Late answer and I agree with Lak. One IC upgrade can make a big improvement. Most of the time when I have added a second one very little if any difference was noticed. | |
| Purist versus Shunyata Power Cords you have a great cord - PC’s are an endless cycle of options. Stick with what you have IMO. | |
| Thiel Owners Thiel lovers and leaders, I just swapped out my C6 for my beloved 3.6 for fun. I do this on occasion. I am retired so I can play with the system when I have the urge.What a different animal! Just so transparent and open, not that the 6 is a slo... |
