MIT Cables new "Articulation Control Console" $45.000 for speaker cables?
Demo 
Kimber Monocle X
I did a comparison with Monocle X, Nirvana SL, and Straightwire Maestro II with Thiel 3.6 and Mcintosh mono's courtesy of the Cable Company a few years back.  The SW was the best, the other two were close.  The Monocle was on the warm side, slight... 
Best speaker cables for Thiel CS 3.7
I owned Taralabs The One and did not prefer them with either my CS 6 or 3.6.   I found a them bit lean. I was using TL .8 IC's in addition to several others and got the same results.    
Fusion Audio cable?

What speaker cables can complete with Audience 24e or 24e SE for less $$
+1Jayctoy that is the exact description that I would use when I owned the au24 speaker cables... 
Greg Lake RIP
Sad, Brain Salad Surgery was one of my high school days go to.  RIP Greg.  
Fusion Audio cable?
Thanks Waxwaves for the incredible complement!  Not sure how good my ears are but I have been at this most of my life!  I really like both Thiel speakers and would say if I had to pick one to live with forever it would be the 3.6.  I think Robert ... 
Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)?
Interesting method Mapman - I always go perpendicular but I will try you method next time. 
Fusion Audio cable?
Waxwaves, the fact that the binding posts are on the bottom is a major PITA.  You basically have to lay the speaker down to connect cables.  I just measured the opening in the back, it is 1 3/4 inches high from the base and 2 1/4 inches wide.  If ... 
Fusion Audio cable?
Jafant, the first time I heard the 3.6 some 20+ years ago I became a Thiel fanboy!  I am a cable junkie too - have tried dozens!

+1fjno4, the late AJ did a number on us for sure!  The first time I dropped in the groove I was stunned! 
Turntables hit the mainstream
Wow, what a new take on Brick and Mortar!  You make a good point chayro, no way merely training w/o experience makes an effective salesperson in this case.It is interesting the exposure to so many shoppers to such a niche market.  I know my non au... 
Fusion Audio cable?
Sure, the Wywires are ever so slightly smoother on the top end, not rolled off just more pleasing especially on cymbals for example.  I would call it more refined.  Maybe copper versus a mixed alloy?  They are also a little warmer than Venustas in... 
Fusion Audio cable?
Hey Wax - I agree with you about the Venustas.  I have also used it between my dehavilland pre and Mac's and it is a great fit.  Mine is 5 meters and I have just moved my system from the side wall to between the speaks.  I am using Wywires silver ... 
Something just isn't there
+1 needfreestuff on the turntable setup.  Check your arm and VTA, if it is too high in the back you will get a brighter sound, too low and you get the opposite.  Make sure it is level while on a record.  Can make a big difference.
