| Thiel Owners I kid Jafant. It's very generous of you to be helping out a budding audiophile. | |
| Thiel Owners bighempin,Ah, thanks. Good to see you are having some help with your system.Careful...spend too much time together and you'll soon be spending lots of money on cables ;-) | |
| Thiel Owners thielliste,Yeah, the Thiels seem to perform well with tubes IMO.As to SS, from my experience I can only say that 250W of Bryston power drove some Thiel CS6s that I had very easily. The 3.7s should be even easier to drive.If one has a really big ... | |
| Thiel Owners bighempin,Sounds fun. But who is "JA?"Also, about the tweeter, from my experience having had dented tweeters before and talking to manufacturers about it, a dented tweeter doesn't necessarily result in audible problems in sound quality. I've ha... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? —- Question: When do you know you’ve become an audiophile?Answer: When you no longer listen to music you like, rather music that sounds the best on your system. ——————-I think thats true to an extent. Not that audiphiles “don’t really listen to a... | |
| Thiel Owners That sounds like an exciting purchase thieliste!btw I never found the 3.7s to need a huge amount of power. Mine sounded superb, including at house-shaking volume, on 140w of power (tube). | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? LOL this continues to be the most ironic thread going.The OP has created a thread to denigrate other audiophiles, complains about any pushback in the most dramatic and insulting manner, and tells us what “normal” people do all the while acting lik... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? I like me some philosophy. However....But some (Richard Dawkins for example) are slower to understand...:)My strawman sense is tingling ;-)No object is possible without a consciousness that are implicated with it and more than that always constit... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? Hmmm...I guess I can think of some things that can be "wrong" with *some* audiophiles. Like...over-dramatic insults of audiophiles who don't agree with the OP.Depressed from scanning (no one could stand to actually read it) the stinking pile of ... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? teo,I'm sure there is a forum somewhere that will take all your dubious claims at face value, so as not to tire you out ;-) | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? atdavid,I have no idea what is wrong with audiophiles, but if you look close enough, you may find clues.Yeah, this is one of the more ironically named threads isn't it? ;-)My cabling would give the OP nightmares. Regular old Belden speaker cable... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? millercarbon,Because, as I said, its pretty much all of them.Ok, so then you are just factually wrong.Normal people are curious, amazed, moved by the music.So are many audiophiles. Myself, every audiophile I know, and most on these boards from wha... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? Yes I'm well aware of the rich history and layers of meaning behind the word audiophile.Then why not be more clear and say "what's wrong with some audiophiles?"And I remain skeptical that any significant number of audiophiles hold the position at ... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? LOL!!! it looks like nobody can make a claim (read: share his/her own experience) about any audio component, unless he/she can:1 - Show detailed measurements on said components. Including proof / validation of the instruments used in the measureme... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? Cleeds,You continue to muddy the waters rather than aid clarity, and this includes your usual use of strawmen. You complain of the discourse in the forum on these subjects, yet add to the problem by refusing to acknowledge anyone presenting a nua... |
