| Thiel Owners @lloydviii Cardas Clear Reflection is a great choice for Thiel speakers but there are many others like Audience. | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers Yesterday been comparing Finisar 1421BTL, 1324BTL and 1318BTL. I much prefer 1318 over the other 2, it is much more resolving, has more slam and a wider soundstage. 1318 is basically at the same level as 1475 IMO, 1318 can still be purchased new... | |
| Streaming – Discovering Similar or New Music Definitely Roon with Qobuz and Tital subcriptions. I don't like proprietary apps. | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @sns Just to let you know i've had a lot of drop outs lately using the Finisar 1475 paired with the Sonore Optical module. Since 1475 is SFP+ there might be incompatibility problems with Sonore optical gear ? Anyway i went back to Finisar 1318 a... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @sns Yes they do sound a little harsh in the first few days, within 2 weeks they are well burned in. I do have stock SFPs and find them really bad compared to some of the best Finisars. | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @sns That’s right most resolving and precise are the Finisar 1318 and even more the 1475. Cisco is creamy and musical and not very resolving. Most liquid sounding is the Finisar 1321. I use Phoenix Contact glass fiber single mode. | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers I use a generic optical module from Afterdak and a Sonore optical module Deluxe v2 between my Paul Pang Quad Switch and my Aqua LinQ streamer. Both optical modules are on LPS. Ethernet cables are the Pink Faun Lan cables and will add some FTA Me... | |
| Thiel Owners @lloydviii Welcome, what amp do you plan on using to drive your 3.7s ? | |
| Ultimate Integrated amps Aavik I-880 $70k. | |
| Thiel Owners I also plan on purchasing a pair of 7.2s in the future but have to wait until i can afford my dream monoblocks a pair of used Audionet Heisenbergs and a dedicated listening room for all this gear. | |
| Thiel Owners I use the original spikes with the outriggers, i will report back once i receive my Gaia 2s. | |
| Thiel Owners @prof very interesting feedback, is your carpet thick or not ? you don't have stability problems without the carpet disks ? I should get my Gaia 2s with the carpet disks next week, will try with and without the carpet disks. | |
| Thiel Owners @gryphon1972 I’ve owned the 1.5s for many years and gave them to my brother when i purchased 3.7s back in 2014. Your room is definitely too small you should use them in your living room. My bro is driving them with a Classe CAP-151 integrated, r... | |
| How long does it take a decent quality speaker to "wear out"? I have a pair of Thiel CS 3.7s from 2011 that should last forever, i take really good care of them no sun light and the drivers are all aluminum. Might only upgrade the crossovers one day with top of the line Mundorf caps. I already upgraded the... | |
| Vitus versus Gryphon I have owned the Diablo 300 for a year and can tell you it was a very bad match for my Thiel CS 3.7 speakers. If your speakers tend to be bright than don’t buy the Diablo 300 you will regret it as i did. Vitus is much more musical, liquid soundi... |
