| Thiel Owners @ronkent,The iso-pucks can be used for any device within their spec limit.The web site mentions a variety of speakers, from monitors to bass amps under which to put the isopucks, which of course use the same principle as the Gaia footers.My Thiels... | |
| MBL 111F or 101E ???? Honestly, I would not want to place MBLs, incuding my 121s, that close to the side/rear walls. I wouldn't place any speaker (with few exceptions) that way. My 121s are well out into my room - I tend to like almost nearfield listening. But I also... | |
| MBL 111F or 101E ???? peppapig,Careful about putting too much stock into my comments.I've heard several people who own various MBLs mention, including reviewers, that the stand mounted 121s and 120 MBLs, despite only having the mid/tweeter of the 101s, nonetheless have... | |
| Dynaudio vs Harbeth vs ProAc Those are 3 brands in which I've been interested over the years.Initially I was high on Dynaudio because I'd heard them sound really neutral, controlled, etc. But since then my encounters with Dynaudio speakers leaves me with the impression "bori... | |
| MBL 111F or 101E ???? I certainly wouldn't consider myself an MBL "expert" but I did have an MBL obsession for many years, and was able to hear the majority of their speakers, often in very good set ups. I had always lusted after the 101s but they were too much money,... | |
| Thiel Owners BTW...I tried some Iso Acoustic Iso-Pucks under one of my Thiel 2.7s tonight.Some here probably know Iso Acoustics products are all the rage these days in terms of speaker stands/isolation and their Gaia series speaker footers seem beloved.I'd bee... | |
| Thiel Owners @ish_mail ,Again, superb stuff! Thanks for the reassurance that going the CR-1 route isn't a total screw up :-) I'm a total newb with subwoofers. | |
| Thiel Owners @ish_mail Thanks very much for all that info.I will have to read it more than once to have any hope of processing your post.It's timely as next weekend I'm picking up my CR-1 crossover to finally test the JL subs crossed over with my Thiel 2.7s.(I... | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent,That sounds a bit worrying, as I’m probably making the 2.7 my main speaker.No problems with mine so far (and it’s second hand, it was probably played even louder by the previous owner). Though I don’t play them very loud when I’m in the ro... | |
| Any of you experiment with optimal VTA for Benz Micro Cartridges Thanks for the optimistic comments, audiom3. Makes me excited to finally listen to my turntable...sometime soon once I've re-done my rack to accommodate it.For years, playing vinyl now and then, I've used an older micro seiki dd-40 turntable give... | |
| Thiel Owners I continue to pinch myself with luck that I managed to bag a pair of the 2.7s in my coveted ebony finish. They are just about the most beautiful pair of speakers I've seen, and aesthetics count a lot for me.Before getting the 2.7s I was just abou... | |
| Any of you experiment with optimal VTA for Benz Micro Cartridges Great info folkfreak. Thanks for helping out a turntable newbie.I've bookmarked this thread. | |
| Any of you experiment with optimal VTA for Benz Micro Cartridges Thanks for the link folkfreak.I'm trying not to be sucked into too much tweakery as far as turntables go, though of course I want to have good performance. I intend to have someone from a local high end store set up the turntable to ensure I'm of... | |
| Any of you experiment with optimal VTA for Benz Micro Cartridges Good to have that confirmed, Jim.BTW, what is the point of a manufacturer making such a low output cartridge? It seems to me in theory come with the liabilities of higher noise in the system, not to mention needing a phono stage with enough gain... | |
| Any of you experiment with optimal VTA for Benz Micro Cartridges @jperry Thanks.I barely can remember the difference between a MC and a MM cartridge (in fact, if you asked me right how...I couldn't tell you before having to look it up again).But I've had a much more turntable-experienced pal advising me so I th... |
