| Thiel Owners Not to turn this into a ss vs tube discussion, just sharing my opinion. | |
| Thiel Owners dsper - you are ahead of me as well on your Thiel/digital journey. Have you thought about a DAC with tube based output? Also, if you haven't, check out the "taming digital glare" thread and think about all the possible ancillary improvements lik... | |
| Thiel Owners Cable land report - I asked for advice on speaker cables, andy2 recommended Acoustic Zen Hologram IIs, which I procured, and they are a nice improvement from the AQ CV-8s I had been using (thanks andy2!). I describe the improvement as adding more... | |
| Thiel Owners prof - your written descriptions of what your speakers sound like is always fun and educational to read, thanks, and wish you could find a way to get a pair of devores into your rotation. I remember reading your listening/audition comments about ... | |
| What's Your Favorite Type of Listening Chair for Audio Based on an earlier thread and geoffkait's shared poang knowledge, I switched from it to an upholstered rocker. (If anyone is keeping score, geoffkait was right!) Sitting on the floor was better SQ, a simple wooden chair was good too, an unexpec... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Yes, of course, Tom not Jim, how embarrassing, sorry. And I corrected someone else on this a month or so ago. Palm to forehead. | |
| Thiel Owners thanks again tomthiel for your input. | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks donzi, whichlevel anticables did you end up with? Assume speaker and interconnects, did you also try their power cables? | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Dsper - hopefully you have checked out the Thiel users group thread, lots of good discussion on amp pairing, lots of good discussion on how to get the most out of the CS5s, more focus on what listeners are hearing rather than technical debates. P... | |
| Thiel Owners More good info thanks tom. Can you elaborate on “kind of problems that plague Thiel users” when using the Adcom amp? Would other Thiel models benefit from being modified for dual inputs to allow for vertical biamping, and could (should?) this be... | |
| Thiel Owners Good question tomthiel re the Benchmark, I convinced myself a while ago that if I were to spend my audio $$$$s on a ss amp, it would likely be this one, but thus far I have not tired of tubes. My guess is very few Thiel owners have tried this amp... | |
| Thiel Owners not sure "centered" was a good word choice above, the thread does get way off topic at times. | |
| Thiel Owners btw, if you haven't read this thread and don't mind scanning through some atypical (even for audio forums) trolling bs to get to some good info, this is a good discussion centered on class d amps driving Thiels - I learned a lot! https://forum.au... | |
| Thiel Owners TGIF for sure, and thanks jafant for the cable info, much appreciated. | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks andy2 for the cable recommendation, jafant I imagine you must have some speaker cable opinions, or maybe could share what the expected differences in outcomes would be for using Duelund 12awg based Acoustic BBQ vs Acoustic Zen's Holographic... |
