| Thiel Owners I have used Thiels many years and always had high current solid state amps with tubes in the preamp. Currently using Mcintosh 501 mono’s with a pair of CS6 Thiels. Also occasionally match them to an old Classe CA 200. Both drive them equally we... | |
| mcintosh mc602 Pro's - great effortless sound, Con - heavy! My 501's weigh 98 pounds each, have no handles. It's like moving a couple of boulders….not good for the back! | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp Interesting thread, I will only add that when you retire you get a different perspective on pricing. Fortunately I did well to get my system where it is while I worked. I cannot see myself shelling out big money like before. But I've only been ... | |
| Is Spiking Necesarry? Yeah but it depends on what you are coupling the speaker to.Also, live music does not necessary have tight bass nor does it image in a 3D fashion.Depends on what you are after in your system. | |
| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy popsmore or less, I’m fully on board with your idea.The problem as I see it is having a known quantity at some point with wires. Even placing an IC into source to per, from pre to amp can alter things substantially.But I’d thereafter not revert to... | |
| Is Spiking Necesarry? Herbies big fat dots under Thiels on hardwood floor over concrete has been best in my system. Spikes the worst. | |
| Thiel speaker model range Thanks Unsound and well done as I know you have been a Thiel enthusiast like myself for many years. I might add that all Thiels have 2 things in common, slopped baffles and first order crossovers.What each model has that is different besides the ... | |
| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy ^^Well put Shubert, my thoughts exactly…Hey, what am I thinking now? LOL!I have also tried more cables than I care to count although I did that once and could not believe it. Tone and Timbre are the most important elements to musical reproduction... | |
| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy There are tons are very good cables under the 1K mark. I have not found 4 figure cables that I could live with long term - my components are probably not worthy. Some great suggestions in the thread - for me, I prefer to switch cables in and out... | |
| Thiel Owners Norb, congratulations on some nice progress on your recovery. Surgery is a b*&^$h! Awesome you can enjoy some tunes this Weekend.I'll bet that second system of yours does sound great. I came so close to buying the little 50 watt Forte - cla... | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil Don’t cables vibrate when hooked up to a vibrating speaker? Am I missing something :>) | |
| Thiel Owners oblgny you are exactly right, once you live with the tonality and transparency of the Thiel sound other speakers just will not satisfy. I have ventured off campus more than once and the 3.6 always end up back in the system as they are now.All spe... | |
| Any Allnic users out there? Hum problem. Same here, I have had the H3000 for several years without the head amp and have encountered no problems. It is dead quite and has been very reliable.It sure sounds like a ground loop issue. That can be tough to find and cure. Good Luck. | |
