| How to go about collecting Classical Music When I started looking into classical music, one of the things I found that I really enjoyed was "How to Listen to and Understand Great Music" from The Great Courses (used to be called The Teaching Company). It serves as both a For Dummies and as... | |
| Artists you feel you can rely on, buy any new album unheard. "amazing how $12 is light as a feather when an album is great, but so painful when the album sucks :-) ""There is no artist, if they live long enough..."For most of my life, I've been pretty loyal to the artists that have given me joy. And they'v... | |
| Thiel Owners @solobone22 Yeah, tbh I was just ready. I could have put more effort in, but I got about a third of the money back for it that I spent on it 20 years ago. It had a good run. Hopefully "they" will fix it up and someone will get some joy out of it.I... | |
| Thiel Owners @solobone22 @tomthielIt’s very hard to compare the PS Audio to the Krell for several reasons. I suspect the Krell has needed service for quite a while, so I’m sure I haven’t heard it at its best for a decade. Other changes I’ve made at the same ti... | |
| Stereo systems are like Harleys I traded my Road King for a minivan over 15 years ago. Now I listen to music with my 15 year old. :-)Just a little virtue signaling there. Only hurts when I laugh, haha. | |
| 6000 dollars CD player audioman58Just a guess, he/she probably has a large CD collection and doesn't feel like ripping for hours or paying $19.99 a month to hear it. | |
| Thiel Owners solobone22 Sorry I missed the question. I ended up trading in the Krell for the PS Audio BHK 250. | |
| Thiel Owners yyzsantabarbara I’ve just been sitting and re-listening to my collection with big smile on my face. In your honor, I’ll break out the Santana this morning!When my 5-channel Krell amplifier died, I had to do a lot of thinking, and research, and sou... | |
| Any way to listen to wav or high bit files with anything approaching audiophile sound? On the bright side, since the project requirement is, “I'm going through as much music as possible,” it’s literally impossible to fail. | |
| Schiit - shipments stopped? 213runnin knows his Schiit. | |
| Thiel Owners jafant "Which brand of cabling are you using?"I bought my speaker wire, spade and banana plugs, and interconnect cables from SVSound.com. Fancy, ain't I? | |
| Thiel Owners As a follow-up...I went with a Denon X4700H receiver and a PS Audio BHK 250 2-ch amp driving my 2.3s. Listening in Stereo mode (2 ch + subs, 60hz crossover) is divine. My Krell Home Theater Standard NEVER sounded this full and smooth. It's a cl... | |
| Thiel Owners Thank you all for the responses and especially for the link to the google doc. It gave me a lot to think about. Tom's point hits a little close to home ("fullness, richness, lushness, warmth"). The pursuit of such "ideals" has led me to conside... | |
| Thiel Owners Hey thanks!I guess I wrote all of the above to think out loud, and what I'd really like to hear is opinions on current stereo amplifiers for 2.3s with an emphasis on music. It looks like the brands I'm familiar with (I've been out of the loop for... |
