| Which solid state power house: Naim NAP 500DR or McIntosh MC611? Nice room Jered and exciting times for you picking a system. If it was me I would decide on speakers/amps first and work your way up. Once that combo is picked for synergy there are tons of great preamps to choose from and do not have to be the... | |
| Will the Thiel CS2.4 fit in my car? What???? | |
| My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS) Warning Andy, once you go Thiel you get caught in the web of excellence. Not only will it ruin other speaker brands for you, you will also want more Thiels. 😂. I have 2 pair and wouldn’t hate having a third! | |
| My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS) Andy, have you considered a CJ ET5, 7 or 7 II? I have been a longtime fan and user of CJ preamps, althought not a 17LS. I bought the DC’ed ET5 a few months ago and love it! A CJ supplied Philips PCC88 is a great tube, especially compared to th... | |
| KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4? @audiotroy I bought 3 products from well known industry leading brands from Bill before he retired. This disputes your point above which is obviously exaggerated. | |
| Thiel CS2.4 to what? @audiojan “window into the music” as you describe is spot on! That is one of the addicting qualities of Thiels. Also, I personally would never leave before I maximized all other compenents and cables upstream synergistically.My Thiels have always ... | |
| Thiel CS2.4 to what? I have both 7.2's and 3.6's and the only thing I'd ever think about replacing them with are Tidal Contriva G2's or Agoria's. They're that good.Thats a big statement 3090 and I agree, I have spent some time with Tidals. I have 3.6 (my favorite) an... | |
| Wireworld +1ricred1.....without a doubt! | |
| McIntosh (MC601) amplifier overheating problem Arthur, thanks for the update, however not the good news I was hoping for being a Mac owner. Best of luck and kick their a$$! | |
| Thiel Owners I know what you mean jon about your 2 2s. I feel the same about my 3.6’s. I have never heard or owned a speaker that floats my boat the way they do. I also own CS6’s, they are slightly more dynamic, play louder, but not better. Maybe not as go... | |
| Simaudio P5 or Conrad Johnson ET5 Can’t say enough about my ET5. Open, spacious, dynamic and crystal clear. Teflon capacitors make a huge difference over previous CJ preamps. I have not heard the Sim. | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent whatever you do don’t marry her! | |
| Thiel Owners Agree guys on the heavy stuff. As we get older and “wiser” the heavy stuff seems to get...well heavier and less appealing. And injuries last longer!I am convinced my Mcintosh 501’s caused my hernia. Probably not as hernias happen over time, but... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn - A dangerous pre! Surprised you have static in the summer? I fried the right channel on my Classe amp last winter with SE. I only listen with bare feet in the winter - the only way I can be static electricity. | |
| MAC Autoformers? Are you a moderator? If not then you shouldn’t speak for one. |
