| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? My experience with bright speakers as i own Thiel CS 3.7 is change your Gryphon amps for tube amps. I have tried just about everything you could possibly imagine over the past few years and nothing worked to tame the speakers until i tried a Jadi... | |
| Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp After a big shootout the most musical of them all is 1950s Mullard CV491 17mm plate. I purchased all of the above tubes to compare including Telefunken Ribbed plate. | |
| Cayin D30 DAC outperforms Weiss, Playback, CH and MSB @eddiechanghk is it Playback MPD-8 and CH C1.2 that you had to compare vs the Cayin D30 ? | |
| Thiel Owners Many thanks @vair68robert | |
| Thiel Owners Hi guys, would like to hear from folks who have redone internal wireing of their Thiels. Did you experiment with other wires than the stock ones like Cardas for exemple ? Did you notice any improvement ? Thanks | |
| What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under Thiel speakers tend to be analytical and bright with most SS amplifiers. If you want them to really sing try Class A tube amplification with 1950s NOS preamp tubes. Otherwise if you want a very musicaly engaging speaker look at Odeon speakers. | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. I also use my Thiel CS 3.7 straight ahead, this is how they sound best. | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! Boulder, Soulution and CH Precision come to mind in this category. Not my cup of the tea but if you want resolution and detail doesn’t get any better than this. | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? End game for me means last amplifier I could afford, that would be the Engström Arne. Hope to get there one day. | |
| Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp Best combo i’ve tried yet on my Jadis amp is a mix of RCA Black Plates and Telefunken Smooth Plates. I yet have to try Amperex and Siemens Nickel Plates. | |
| Who has has a totaldac DAC? @jc51373 You are right Totaldac sounds more analogue, the Aqua Formula is more forward with huge clarity but i find it paires well with a tube amp. I now use a Jadis class A amp so it is well balanced with the Aqua Formula. | |
| Thiel Owners @andy2 CS 3.7s tend to be bright, in my experience poweful tube amps like VAC or Jadis is what works best for them. I have tried many different SS amps in the past few years and there was always something missing with my 3.7s. | |
| Recommendation for higher power tube amp Big Jadis integrated is phenomenal with Thiel speakers. I drive my CS 3.7s with a Jadis DA88S 60w class A, KT120 power tubes and RCA NOS12AU7 long black plate input tube. This amp has outperformed many very expensive SS amps that I tried in the ... | |
| Jadis DA88S mkii integrated I have a brand new DA88S Mk2 equiped with Psvane KT88. It easily drives my Thiel CS 3.7s The amp is still burning in. | |
| Thiel Owners Hi guys, i now have my new Jadis DA88S integrated amp in silver finish driving my CS 3.7s with KT88 tubes. Jadis class A tube power is spectacular with my Thiel speakers, much better than all SS amps i have tried to date. |
