George,   you are my audio hero.

Streaming versus physical media:   i stream  at work,  but for serious listening at home with my big system,  it is compact discs all the way.  I do not know about others,  but for me,  part of the pleasure of this hobby is building a collection o... 
PS Audio Revises Marketing to a Direct Sales Only Model
I have a menswear retail store, and even though we are very small by comparison,  i have tried to emulate Paul and the customer service provided by PS.    I agree with the post above:  their support has been stellar.  Thiel was like that back in t...

the power cable thing is always tricky.   i use the big PS AC-12 for amps and power plants, but have had great results with the Pangea cords from Audio Advisor.  Really well make and not crazy priced 
PS Audio Revises Marketing to a Direct Sales Only Model
This is a quote from someone above: " Back to PS audio. There is absolutely nothing special about PS audio. "  I absolutely DISAGREE. I have owned multitudes of audio gear since 1976 and now my system (with the exception of my Thiel 3.7 speakers)...

hi TT,  i am a huge fan of their higher end gear,  but do not know much about the Stellar series except that it really is considered a  huge bang for the buck.

hey Guys,  for anybody interested in buying PS Audio gear,  now would be a great time.  PS Audio just announced they are going factory direct and there will be no more retail dealers.  That means the dealers are going to be heavily discounting the...

there are pairs of 2.2's and 2.4's on audiogon if anyone missed them and needs a new speaker.  https://www.audiogon.com/listings?q=thiel

Great thread.   I am someone who also enjoys using the compact disc as my main music source.  I enjoy putting going to my collection and picking out something that fits the mood.   Big_Greg above recommended the Marantz black pearl and i highly co...

I am an outlier here,  but i have had great success with sound using MG Audio speaker cables between the PS BHK amp and the 3.7's.  My friend Bob who has a system virtually identical to mine is much more dedicated to auditioning multiple speaker c...

i too measured the distance on my3.7's.front 14"back 9.75so it looks like thielrules was correct

I cannot comment on any other brand,  but i  have had great success using REL subs with my 2.7's and now 3.7's.  I just added a second sub,  and the improvement was not subtle and it is not just about more or deeper bass.

I would like to add that to my knowledge,  outriggers were not an option on the earlier 2 series such as the 2 and 2.2.  however,  if anyone needs a pair of Sound Anchors  i do have a pair for sale as i no longer needed them once i got a pair of 2...

hey Batman,   i have used both 2.7 and 3.7 speakers with outriggers and think they help.   however i strongly recommend testing feet from Gaia and the brass feet from Mapleshade.  i used them both with the outriggers.  However if outriggers cannot...

warjarrett:  too funny as i am  the same way.  " Yeah, I think I was crazy. I can tell you this: I never play background music anymore, with these tubes burning. The system either has my full attention or is off. I don’t answer the phone, my wif...
