| Thiel Owners Umm, I feel like an acolyte interrupting the masters at work, but anybody try Acoustic BBQ speaker cables with their Thiels? I need to get some speaker cables with spade connectors (long story) and leaning towards trying these, unless someone can... | |
| Do you guys like Adele's music? Well, Imelda May is remarkable. And Brittany Howard’s latest is entrancing as well. | |
| How important is a preamp for purely digital sources? I've asked the same question and came to this conclusion - 1) Is it necessary? No.2) Will it help improve SQ? Very likely, assuming you pick the right one, which will involve time and money. But it might not.3) Most importantly, is is the best ... | |
| Thiel Owners Getting caught up on my favorite thread and have to say a belated but big thanks to andy2 and prof for explaining what they are hearing when they listen to 1st vs 2nd order crossovers. You guys (and many others on this thread) have tons of listen... | |
| Do you guys like Adele's music? Still gotta check out imelda may, +1 on lourde and london grammer, other contemporary female singers (brought to me by my daughters) that i can enjoy are lana del ray and the haim sisters, but for me, rachel price and adrianne lenker really make m... | |
| Thiel Owners Oblgny - thanks for the comparisons. The 2.3s and 2.4s look so similar on paper i have always wondered what the sonic difference is. And thanks all for the music you enjoy using to evaluate SQ. | |
| Do you guys like Adele's music? Daughters and wife played 21 nonstop and I admit I would from time to time belt out the tunes with them, and it was great fun, so yes, I guess I have to consider myself an Adele fan. But I am even more of a Dan Wilson fan, going way back to his T... | |
| KEF LS50s with BAT VK-55 - good combo? Thanks guys. I guess I implied LS50s were part of the LS35A family, I know they are not, although I do remember one reviewer comparing them, saying something like "LS50s are KEF's modern take on the LS35A." Anyway, the cocentric driver design (t... | |
| Thiel Owners oblgny - thanks for the comparison, if you wouldn't mind, what kind of differences do you hear between the 2.3s and 2.4s? Like you and prof have mentioned, I love the way these speakers sound from an adjacent room. My kitchen/dining room is adja... | |
| Thiel Owners +1 on audio solutions in indy, my experiences there have been good, lots of used gear, some of which gets listed here from time to time. They had a pair of 2.3s and were happy to hook up several different tube amps to them which convinced i could... | |
| GREAT MUSIC - SO POORLY RECORDED... Only source for me is digital, and I've often wondered if the music that sounds poorly recorded is actually a poor digital version, in other words, if I had an analog source (tt etc) and a pressing from the time it came out, would it sound much be... | |
| Wow! Hard to believe how Good this sounds! artemus_5, I've had both extremes of this experience, and geoffkait, i think I should start keeping a log to make sure I am not inducing variability.I've been away many times for 10-12 days and get excited to return to listen to some well reproduc... | |
| Thiel Owners batmanfan - there are several discussions in the digital group of threads that could be helpful; my take is if you have more than one source (and I bet you do), DAC design continues to change and evolve, so if you want to maintain the ability to c... | |
| Thiel Owners And wow those 7.2s just listed are amazing! Never seen that model listed, wonder how rare are they? | |
| Thiel Owners +1 re sdl4's recommendation on a power cord for the PS Audio Stellar Pre/Dac, especially if you use the DAC; I use a PS Audio PWD as a volume control/DAC and was happily surprised when I replaced the stock cord with a Cardas Clear M and the SQ imp... |
