| Preamp Recommendation Congrats on your Classe's. Have always liked their amps. It is too bad you couldn't solve the hum issue with the VTL's, that sounds like a great sonic match. I cannot answer your question but would recommend you try tubes in the linestage and ev... | |
| Can Vinyl LP's Survive In A Room that Gets 95 Degrees? Mitch - I stored 2 boxes of albums in my attic when I lived in Atlanta for around 10 years. Only 1 warped record - they were packed tightly, that probably helped. | |
| Thiel Owners My CS6’s are sounding particularly nice today! I switched cartridges, went from Transfiguration Proteus to my old standby Ortofon Jubilee. A little more heft in the midrange for the Thiels. The Proteus however is a champ at frequency extremes. | |
| Power Cords Any of you slummed like me and used the original - SR Master Coupler? I am using 2 on my monoblocs and 1 on my linestage - plenty of head bobbing in my room! | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. I hear you, the emotions are a huge jump in price, way too rich for my blood. | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. Corvus is probably not a good match to simmer things down. They are more on the forward side compared to other PAD models. They were too forward for my Thiels, and also more forward than Venustas and proteus which I also owned.Did you give up ... | |
| Thiel Owners Man! I have never seen the cupboards so bare on Thiels for sale on A'gon. | |
| Cable Risers/Elevators revisited Interesting, I have found the same effect as you describe, albeit, very slight difference with lifters but noticable. I have tried several materials - wood, hockey pucks, pipe insulators and the effect is the same. My cables now rest on hardwood... | |
| LP's... Do they sound better now than 30 yrs ago? I find very few current pressed records that can match 60's and 70's pressings which most of my collection is comprised of....a good cleaning ritual and a sizable investment in playback has kept digital out of my blood. | |
| Upgrade Thiel CS3.6 to CS6?? I agree with Prof and michaelbrown regarding the CS6. That has been my speaker for a while and I also kept my 3.6 because I believe it is one of the most exceptional speakers I have heard.The 6 is an easier load than the 3.6 and I have found spea... | |
| Will preamp manufacturers tell you if the model is phase inverse? @thom_mackris don't you mean the signal is inverting since your example cites one as non-inverting and two as interting? What am I missing? | |
| Directionality of wire This is excellent stuff, keep it up please😂 | |
| RIP John Bonham Geez, 37 years! One of my favorite drummers. Thanks for posting lowrider. | |
| Cardas: Cross vs. Reference and Clear It is well know he doesn't care for cardas! For sure!!! | |
| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? To the OP - have you contacted KY as Dave suggested? This is disappointing but Shandorne's analogy is unfortunately right. Speakers have a long life and in this case longer than the original company, that is disappointing to say the least. |
