| Thiel Owners First up I would reinstall the original inductors back in..then listen again. Inductors of any type are non inear devices. Tom D. | |
| Thiel Owners Imhififan, For fun and a further learning experience you should try replacing what certainly appears to be steel fasteners holding your crossovers in place. I would do only 1 at first as my guess would be an imbalance left to right. Probably need... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom Thiel with the recent improvements made to my sound system with my laminar devices it has even made the low bass more apparent as a supplement to the soundstage. This has been a noticeable factor to the landscape of soundstage for years with m... | |
| Thiel Owners All of this interference is nearly invisible and maybe at this point is not measurable but can certainly be seen in my mind's eye as myself and a friend have listened here and at his house. When I made my port treatment on my recent speaker rebuil... | |
| I treated my room ! Adrian, I am not at a point to release what I am doing. Looking at your system pictures and the shelf over the top of your front wall I think they would make for a great impact. You have many positions I think that would be additive to the sound.... | |
| Thiel Owners I understand Tom Thiel has been working with surface treatment of a speaker baffle to enhance laminar flow while also reducing interfering energy. This energy migrates back and forth on a vibrating surface and causes a pile up of noise that does r... | |
| I treated my room ! Over the last year I implemented laminar flow devices I have built and placed in strategic front locations of my 27/21/9 ft room . I also have for years now 3 Natural wool panels on the front wall 1 each at the side reflection points. The laminar ... | |
| Thiel Owners 68 Robert, Thank you for your positive comments earlier today. I was so excited by what I heard today I forgot to answer you.... Tom D | |
| Thiel Owners The Mills are a great value at $5.00 but the Path are much better at $25.00.Maybe the Path's are not 5 times better but for me the difference is significant depending on how many are needed. The Paths are closer to the Vishay bridge builds. Tom | |
| Thiel Owners I would not change the inductors but would change the resistors to the Path brand or with the Vishay nude resistors and build a bridge so you can reach a 5 to 10 watt power rating..Cost for the Vishay product would be over $100 per position. Other... | |
| Thiel Owners I have replaced all the steel fasteners in my system with brass including the circuit board standoffs and mounting screws and transformer lock down bolts, nuts and washers. This is a practice I have applied since the late 80's. thru to this day ev... | |
| Thiel Owners And there was a positive sonic benefit correct? The sonics will also benefit with the removal of any steel screw to a brass replacement. Any fastener holding or near the crossover or binding posts should be brass. Non ferrous materials sound bett... | |
| About users with hidden agendas Several people need to walk away from all of this madness. I cannot stand it here. Tom | |
| Acoustic treatment and acoustic mechanical control over gear upgrade for improvement All of my room correction is mechanical. Angles on a ceiling portion and angles on a soffit. No foam in use only real sheeps wool behind cloth covered stretcher bars and only 5 of these in this large room. I use 1 each of the threaded inverted Au... | |
| High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260 The 1260 sounds better than the Total Contact. Have not tried Rick's new product yet. Tom |
