| Non-transferable warranties? I’m sure the practice counts on a certain percentage of original owners selling prior to the end of the warranty. So the effective warranty period to them is something less than the “face value”. It’s a way to entice the original purchase without ... | |
| Is the NHT xd System worth buying today? Rnathens00Wouldn’t you need a fifth and/or sixth channel for sub(s)? The response of the satellites alone is fairly anemic and really requires a sub. That said, there are a pair or two available currently if still interested... | |

| Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on! To the OP, I clicked on this as one of the “posts of the week” to add my picks only to find my first two picks on your list already! - “DSOTM” and “I Robot”.In fact, I was actually listening to “I Robot”, having just “rediscovered” it today (no li... | |
| Amplifiers weight Wait. Why has no one discussed how a (vacuum) tube amp falls in a vacuum? 🤔 Would certainly be as relevant as weight to an amp’s performance...One must first decide what class. Older tech (A, A/B) Is going to weigh geometrically/exponentially more... | |

| Thiel Owners tomthiel,A life time lover of Thiel Audio, I never managed to own any myself - either due to $, space, or SAF restrictions. Although I had never heard them, the Powerpoints always intrigued me, so when I recently stumbled onto a set of 5 Powerpoin... | |

| Treatment for rubber speaker surrounds? Just purchased a set of used Thiel Powerplanes. They use Thiel’s proprietary coax drivers - have a rubber surround that I believe is butyl but could be natural rubber?? From extensive reading it is plasticizer that needs replenished. Armorall and ... | |
