| Thiel Owners tomthielDo you know if Rob can service the Thiel 02s?Wondering what I'll do if, at their age, they start having issues.Thanks. | |
| Thiel Owners Wow, thank you Tom!It’s so nice to be able to read a previously hidden history of a pair of speakers that have meant so much to me for decades. And now, given Jim’s disdain, I feel even more guilty liking them so much ;-)It just goes to show you t... | |
| Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner bdp24,Yeah the price hike does push it upward to a smaller audience. I got in when I could buy it at just over $2,300 so I'm happy enough about that.Still, the price demanded for the KLAudio and Audio Desk does put the Degritter in better perspec... | |
| Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner I got in on the Degritter and ordered one back in the summer. Given the start-up and crowd-fund nature of the company I expected delays and of course there have been a number of them. All well explained by the company though.I should be getting mi... | |
| Thiel Owners tomthiel,Ha...yeah I feel a bit strange lauding them so highly. They just happen to hit my buttons. As I said, at least my pair has an upper mid/lower treble peak of some sort that unfortunately can make them shouty or piercing with the wrong mat... | |
| Thiel Owners Damn!I've been switching up my speakers with some others I own, like the Waveform Mach MC monitors and then my old Thiel 02s.Sometimes I think I shouldn't do this, because every time I throw on the Thiel 02s I'm bewitched. I think "THAT'S what I'... | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? Joseph Audio Pearl3MBL 101s Maybe Devore reference system. | |
| Harbelth HL5plus IMO, never bank on a speaker "breaking in" if you think you heard an aspect you didn't like.That said...I owned the Harbeth SuperHL5+ for a while, and have heard it numerous times elsewhere, e.g. stores.Given it's dimensions and rated specs, I did... | |
| The Science of Cables glupsonDoes anyone else see this thread as religious? One side is sure, the other one is sure it is not. Well, bit of a broad brush there glupson. At least some of us (e.g. myself) do not take a stance of ’religious’ character in terms of dogmatic... | |
| I give up on new vinyl It's always a crap shoot to some degree, but I've generally found new vinyl sounds excellent. If I wasn't get a high ratio of good condition/sound to stinkers, I certainly wouldn't be amassing the amount of vinyl I currently do.I just cracked ope... | |
| Whats the deal? I’m confused by the OP.Who is choosing looks over sound in their speakers?This is an audiophile site; if anything, it’s a place where people are more dedicated to sound than looks.That said...it’s not like sound and beauty are mutually exclusive. ... | |
| The Science of Cables Douglas,Congrats. Never heard of anyone passing a blind test for AC cables. Only failures.But, the ABX was testing one leg of cabling, not the entire set. I'm not quite grokking that. Could you be a bit more detailed about how you blind/ABX-tes... | |
| The Science of Cables douglas,That's terrific! Nice to see.I'll take a look at the articles further when I have time.Where you able to discern differences between AC cables using blind testing/ABX? If so, that would be the first example I've ever seen before. | |
| The Science of Cables Hi Douglas,I hope you notice that I haven’t cast aspersions at your new "Schroeder Method." Frankly I haven’t investigated it to a degree I’d feel comfortable having offering any opinion. So I was speaking to the general idea of the types of claim... | |
| The Science of Cables @douglas_schroederI read your whole post, which seems an extension of your first paragraph:Prof, no, I am saying there appears to be no measurable, objective basis for cultivation of an analogue rig. I see that the same largely subjective assessme... |
