| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For Ericba I think my friend Bob M. would agree with you on the Cardas Clear. I have the clear reflection but my understanding is that the Clear really is the one have. | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For vthokie63 The BAT preamp is so marvelous. you sound like you have a great system. i have a Coda 16 amp and while i have no complaints at all with it, someday i will try a BAT SS amp in my system. FWIIW i find the PS Audio P20 power plant to ... | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For Silly Tweaky me: they are a bunch of old brass Mapleshade footers that i just use as extra weight to maybe damp any vibrations. do they work? i have no idea as i just stuck them there knowing they cannot hurt at least | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For " I upgraded to a BAT VK-90 last year and was amazed at the improvement of space between instruments and the air around vocals. BAT is an outstanding brand of product, as is the company and people there. I really don't think I will change to ano... | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For We are blessed that we were able to find these pieces of gear. i bet that VK 255SE is fantastic. For 2025, i am contemplating their new REX 300 SS amp but i have to start saving for sure. | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For i am so amazed by the improvement the BAT VK80 wrought, that i am now considering one of their SS amps for 2025. I do not mind tubes in a pre-amp, but do not want to go tubes in an amp. i do agree with immathewj that a new piece can be a bit o... | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For they sure do make a difference. | |
| Thiel Owners JA asked me to share my thoughts on the new preamp i got a few weeks ago. so here goes: I also posted it as a separate thread. That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For I suspect most of the music/audio lovers on this web site have ... | |
| How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits thanks guys. i will check out the other thread. i would never buy from that site but how do we know that when we purchase on this site, that it did not come from them? | |
| How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits i wonder how many are sold on Agon and UAM and we have no idea that they are fakes? | |
| Thiel Owners thanks Guys. mine are toed in maybe 3-5 degrees. the right speaker has nothing beside it to create additional HF. the left speaker has a wall near it but i have a big sound diffusion panel at the first reflection to help. I use a laser level a... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant i am confused. in a post above you said that 3.7's do not require toe in but the above post says that toe in decreases HF energy. that does not compute. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! hi Santabarbara, I too get a bit of hiss when i put my ear to the speaker but cannot hear it from 8 ft away. the PS BHK preamp was noisier for sure. i recall the Pass XP22 being a bit quieter but it was not a good fit for my system. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! I would like to add my 2 cents to this thread. I have a Coda 16 amp which i really like and it replaced a set of PS mono blocks. I do not think the 16 is really any better sonically than the PS BHK monos, but I did not want to deal with tubes a... | |
| Thiel Owners Greetings Thiel fans, i have been using Thiel speakers since 1986 starting with a pair of 2.0's and am now enjoying a pair of 3.7's that I got from Rob about five years ago. In a very recent correspondence, he suggested that I add some resistor... |
