| Heard McIntosh 275 For The First Time. There like moving boulders! I hurt my back every time I move my 501's.....so I stopped moving them. | |
| Any cable suggestions for my Thiel 2.4's? I get it Shellie, at least you've heard in your system and have first hand experience to back up your claims and I respect that. I'm only saying there is no such thing as best cable unless you tried every cable on the market, and even then take me... | |
| Any cable suggestions for my Thiel 2.4's? Shellie, not trying to gang up on you but you did make an absolute statement that is awfully hard to justify. Back on subject, as you can see hififan lots of cables work with Thiels - it will eventually come down to your personal preference. There... | |
| any benefit in a double bi-wire of 8TC? I tried that once and it was too much bass emphasis at the expense of upper midrange and highs. Really changed the perspective of the presentation for the worst - a single run of 8TC was much better. Now if you want to get creative go to audio asy... | |
| Any cable suggestions for my Thiel 2.4's? Not a shot | |
| MIT cables and super tweeters In concept, I don't want network boxes in the signal path but I've got to have em! MIT reference level interconnects are my preference by a long shot. As Mapman states trust your ears....period. YMWV... | |
| How we clean records in Texas Scary stuff...thats why you don't mess with Texas! | |
| Tube Rolling - No Change in Sound I don't know if I agree, in my system amps have made the least difference, speakers the biggest difference by far - then source followed very closely by preamp and lastly amp. I do agree without question the amp/speaker interface has to be optimal... | |
| VPI turnover Static electricity, put a humidifier on your furnace or heat pump, better for your equipment and your health. If my house dips below 30% humidity I get shocked every time I touch anything. | |
| Need advice picking a preamp. You have lots of options, are you dead set on a 1 box unit? Both of the Mac's you've listed are very nice, haven't heard the modwright. The Mac's will give you a more linear, cool for tubes, presentation especially the 2300. If that's what your af... | |
| Need advice on McIntosh driving Thiel 2.4's Mac 501's have been good for me driving 3.6 in a large room. | |
| Rega P3-24 or RB301 anti-skating bias I had the same problem when I had the RB300, it got to the point where it would jump back and skip on the final track of an album and not drift into the dead zone - not matter what setting I used... | |
| Any cable suggestions for my Thiel 2.4's? Well that could be anything based on the rest of your system, room, and personal preference, I prefer Alpha Core Goertz MI 2 speaker cables with my Thiel 3.6. For IC's I use MIT reference and stock PC's. | |
| Mark Levinson 436 or McIntosh MC501 with B&W801-S3 Don't give up on Mac 501's yet, they drive my Thiels to the promise land. The Levinson is very nice also, heard them driving Thiel 3.7's. Can't go wrong with either choice IMO comes down to personal preference. | |
| I am sick of cables I'm there, said the same thing a couple of years ago and was told by 1 audiophool that my comment was "reckless" |
