| Oppo UDP - 205 Thanks much, will likely give it a go.Rich | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 Anyone else who has installed the LPM or LPM SE from OPPO Mod in the 205 care to chime in on any tips or tricky areas for installing? Considering this, but not super handy and would prefer it to be reversible if, by chance, I don’t like it. Thanks | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 Ozzy,Any tricks to installing the Oppomod LPM SE in the 205. Anything that’s irreversible? Still liking it? Considering ordering one bit on the fence. Thanks,Rich | |
| Need Recommendation on Best CD player under $1,000 Some good recommendations here. You might consider trying a Music Hall CD25.2 Cd Player and replace the analog output stage opamps with a pair of Burson Discrete Opamps. Pretty easy to do, comes in under budget, and (to my ears in my system)has th... | |
| SACD...around $3500? I'd recommend the Sony XA5400ES or one of the Marantz players. If you've listened to the Marantz and like it I'd start there - although you might consider picking up an SA8003 or used SA8001 and using the change to buy more music. Both of these pl... | |
| Sony SACD XA777ES V Apollo, Marantz 8003 HELP Hmmm, while I'd like to hear the 777ES I have not. I do have an sa8001 and compared it directly head to head with my Pioneer Elite PD-65. Both are excellent players and to be honest there was not a huge difference. However, I ended up selling the ... | |
| Review: Sunfire Sunfire 300 Amplifier You are correct, the Sunfire does not run warm at all and has seemingly endless power. I auditioned a number of amps trying to satisfy the difficult appetite of my Thiel 3.6s. I've had other Bob Carver amps and while competent they don't have the ... | |
| When is thiel going to upgrade the 3.6 It would have to be something truly special to displace the 3.6. I suspect the caliber of the 3.6 has a lot to do with the long wait. I'm in no hurry - if it ain't broke.....Rich | |
| Your experience with Thiel 3.6 I wouldn't part with mine either. As noted above they do need some space and good amplification. With the above caveots I would without hesitation recommend them highly. I bought used and ended up dealing with Thiels service folks (Shari) quite a ... | |
| Anyone compare the B&W CDM9NT & N804 OK so I didn't consciously read all the above replies, sorry Sdecker it seems I've almost literally copied your post. Must be an eye-brain thing today....my apologies.Regards,Rich | |
| Anyone compare the B&W CDM9NT & N804 Although not on the same day or listening room, I preferred the N804s - enough to justify the price difference. I thought the N804s imaged better and sounded a little more refined. In the end I didn't buy either, I bought a used pair of Thiel 3.6s... | |
| Speakers that sound like Thiels on steroids. With enough good quality juice behind them they play quite loud w/o distortion or compression - haven't used a SLM to verify but they should give you close to what you want in output, They definetely have more "headroom" than the 2.3s, at least in... | |
| Thiel 3.6 and 'grounding' / insulating The 3.6's will also benefit by the extra couple of inches elevation the granite slabs will provide. The optimum listening position seems to be (for me) near the midrange driver. Most chairs (mine included) are a little too high although a little e... | |
| Personal speaker evolution Went from:Polk RTA-11TLs ($750 new in 1990)to:THIEL CS3.6s ($2,000 used in 2000) | |
| Thiel 3.6 owners - what components are you using? Unsound is correct they don't always use Classe - although if I was buying a new amp to replace my Carver, Classe would be at the top of my audition list. Some of the best sound that's ever graced my ears have been the 3.6s teamed up with a Classe... |
