| Thiel Owners Always a pleasure to follow the discussions posted here. Had to sell my 3.6 due to a move so ALL I have left are the 2.7. I'm missing some of the bottom end grunt and am looking at subs. What are your experiences with adding subs to Thiels? Tr... | |
| Audio Research CD6 vs CD9 original and SE versions @jafant what did you listen to during the demo sessions? what were the other components? | |
| Audio Research CD6 vs CD9 original and SE versions The sound of the individual instruments were fuller (some might call this warmer) however the bass was muddy. I heard the instrumental presentation as closer to what I would hear in the concert hall with the exception of the double bass which was... | |
| Thiel Owners @mallikh67 Can you tell us more about your setup? How are the speakers positioned? What is the distance from walls, are they on the floor, are they toed in, how big is the room, do you have hardwood floors, etc, etcI've never heard the 2 2 howev... | |
| Thiel Owners I hate cables. I really do.Started with:Computer (running wtfplay) --> Synergistic Active USB --> MSB Analog --> Chord Cobra VEE2 --> Krell FBI --> Audioquest 4 --> Thiel 2.7Current state:Computer (running wtfplay) --> Synerg... | |
| Audio Research CD6 vs CD9 original and SE versions @jafant that could be. I for one would like to hear a few ARC players back to back to back.I think the ARC had a fantastic mid/high presentation. A trombone should sound like a trombone and a flute should sound like a flute. Not all trombones s... | |
| Anybody Own the Technics SL- G700 SACD Player? Interested in the Technics spinner as well. | |
| Thiel Owners Has anyone heard the soft-dome replacement tweeter for the 3.6? I was notified that there are no more OEM replacements available. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel I have a pair of the Straightwire Maestro speaker cables. Haven't had them in the system in a while and will give them a spin this weekend. | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant I've found that an old pair of simple AudioQuest (I think 4) cables sound the best on the 2.7 and DHLabs Q-10 sounds best on the 3.6. The rooms are also quite different. The 2.7 better damped and the 3.6 a little bit more live due to har... | |
| Audio Research CD6 vs CD9 original and SE versions @jond @georgehifi I've looked at the MSB spinners however they use the Oppo transport which may be hard to get these days.I've run a few different CD players into the MSB however they never quite worked for me:Denon 1650ARPrimare CD31CAL CL-10The ... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant always appreciate your perspectiveI was using Transparent Super XLR. I have a much older pair and the dealer gave me a pair of the recent ones to try. The newer pair was better in the bass however I still couldn't live with it.I've read ... | |

| Audio Research CD6 vs CD9 original and SE versions From another post:"The Ref CD-8 used Burr Brown PCM 1792 chips configured in stereo mode. By contrast, the CD-6 and Ref CD-9 use the BB PCM 1792A, but configured in quad mono mode."https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/arc-ref-cd-8-compared-to-cd... | |
| Thiel Owners Had the opportunity to put an ARC CD6 into the system with Krell FBI and Thiel 2.7. The top through midbass was amazing...the best this system has ever sounded. However once you got into the bass it had no bite. Symphonic bass drum sounded like... |
