@silvanik My floor is a wooden floor and my system sits on a thick acoustic carpet. I have tried the Gaia carpet discs and it didn'd do it for me, sound was very thin.    
Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners
I'm most likely the only one on this forum who has demoed up to 53k worth of SS amps on Thiel CS 3.7s. None of them are able to outperform a VAC Master preamp paired with Jadis Monoblocks on this particular Thiel model. All demoes are done at my... 
Anybody using tube amps to drive Thiel CS 3.7's ?
Well guys, the Jadis DA88S with 8 KT120s in PP class A beat my Vitus SIA-025 Mk2 on my CS 3.7s. Jadis sounds like real live music with lots of meat on the bone. Jadis Monos would be fantastic on Thiel speakers.

@duramax747 Absolutely not you can listen as loud as you want with the Jadis. I don’t listen at low volume but i admit i don’t listen to hard rock or any techno music. The Jadis integrated betters the Vitus in just about every departement and ha...

Ok guys my Vitus SIA-025 Mk2 was outperformed by a Jadis DA88S with KT120 tubes in a direct shootout in my system a week  ago. Thiels seem to like Jadis sound better and it is cheaper than Vitus great findings.  
Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101
I have to agree with @supermerio, i owned the Diablo 300 for a year and the Vitus SIA-025 Mk2 for more than a year and recently demoed a Jadis DA88S equiped with 8 KT120s. The Jadis easily outperformed both the Gryphon and the Vitus in my system....

Hi guys, this sunday i'll be demoing a Jadis DA88S integrated with 8 KT88 tubes 60w class A on my CS3.7s. First time i try a tube amp on my Thiels, this is going to be fun.

@silvanik I've had them on my 3.7s but didn't like the sound at all. It sucked the life out of my Thiels therefore i sold the Gaie feet and put back the original feet.  
LAMM M1.2 - Feedback - Advice - Please - anyone heard these?
That's right @mitch2 i want more tube goodness in my system. I don't know if a tube pre paired with a SS amps would be to my liking. I have to admit that i'm pretty tired and bored of the non musicality of most SS. In a week i'm demoing one las... 
LAMM M1.2 - Feedback - Advice - Please - anyone heard these?
Hi guys, do you think pairing Lamm M1.2s with a VAC Master linestage would sound great on my Thiel CS 3.7s or are there any better amps today for my pretty difficult speakers ? I plan on bying used therfore Vitus SM-103 monos could also be consid... 
Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great???
@daveyf Thanks for your input, yes the JA80Mk2 seems the sweet spot in the Jadis line up. A very good Jadis dealer in Paris who used to be a Thiel dealer told me the JA80Mk2 would be up to the task. Have you compared KT88 to KT150 in your JA30Mk... 
Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great???
I’m trying to figure out which of JA80 Mk2, JA120 or the new JA170 would be the best match for my Thiel CS 3.7s paired with Jadis JPS2 linestage. I miss too much tube sound even though I have tried many very high end SS integrated. I will soon tr... 
Integrated Amplifier for Raidho XT-2
@supermerio Did you find the Jadis i88 much more engaging than your SIA-025. I’m planing to try a Jadis DA88S against my SIA-025.  
Anybody using tube amps to drive Thiel CS 3.7's ?
I’ve tried many very high end SS integrated on my 3.7 and as powerful SS can be they never have the musicality of tube amps. Since I live not very far from the Jadis factory I will try to borrow a Jadis DA88S integrated to make a shootout against... 
Anybody using tube amps to drive Thiel CS 3.7's ?
Do you guys think VAC Signature 200IQ Monos could drive Thiel CS 3.7s pretty well ?
