| Thiel Owners Robert - As I recall your parallel internal wires were MonsterCable or equivalent. Twisted pairs (as in stock Thiel) address the relevant problems, plus they are what Jim designed with, considering their inherent capacitance, inductance and resist... | |
| Thiel Owners The control match is confusing. The match for the S9000ES is a RMT-D122. Ebay, etc. says the D111 will work, but it doesn't work with an SACD player. Bill Thalmann is sending me his spare. Now, to find the remote for the SCD-1. Always something. | |
| Thiel Owners Great review - great reviewer. I get the audio preference bit . I got a contact at Sony technical service whom I’ll query for specs. Thanks. | |
| Thiel Owners The operational and service manuals have lots of information, including a caricature description of the filters. However, I located Sony's white paper on the SCD-1 which has more detail including frequency responses of the 5 filters. However, I wa... | |
| Thiel Owners In the realm of disc-spinners, I’ve broken into the twenty-first century. I picked up a Sony S9000ES player. Alas, it came with the wrong remote and I haven’t yet played SACDs with it, but I’m searching for a RMT-D122 required for this player. I ... | |
| Thiel Owners Here’s a little catch-up report. During the summer I got snatches of time to evaluate outboard crossovers and internal wiring. I have added some stunning KimberKable solid silver 3-braid to the mix. Some may remember awhile back when some of us co... | |
| Thiel Owners vm1 - Thank you for your kind words. We did indeed hope to create speakers to bring musical enjoyment for a long, long time. Regarding the CS6, there is lots of good information in this thread, some quite recent. In broad terms, Thiel was a cost-... | |
| Thiel Owners vm1 - Rob is the expert, but he sometimes goes dark due to personal circumstances. So, let's go. The CS2.3 came out in 1998 and the coax was revised early 2001. The revision was adding a bucking magnet to the coax to eliminate video interference. ... | |
| Thiel Owners Troubleshooting demands that we reduce variables. Battery test is cheap and effective and simplifies the decision tree. | |
| Thiel Owners thoft - let's consider possibilities. Your 18'x 25' room with a non-flat ceiling sounds pretty ideal to me for a pair of 3.6s. The Thiel room where duramax heard the 7.2s probably had the Krell FPB 600. That room is 14'x 22'x 35' for 10,780 cubic... | |
| Thiel Owners What Bill is doing with the DR9s is to take out the 'balancing' circuitry at the inputs which is op amp based. Its only practical function is to allow XLR to reduce noise in long interconnect runs. Otherwise, that circuitry is of lower quality tha... | |
| Thiel Owners duramax - thank you for the base offer. One of these days I hope to get that far; for now there is so much work to update geriatric products. It doesn't get much if any better than Pass in my book. Presently beyond my reach. Bill Thalmann of Musi... | |
| Thiel Owners Roxy - I bought the Birdseye pair on Long Island for future use. Thanks for the lead. | |
| Thiel Owners dimitrig - smells fishy. The CS1.2 is a moderately sensitive speaker. It should not be unusually loud. Bass shouldn’t be weak. Nor should it muffle voices - spoken voice is a good tell-tale for troubles because we hear it so well.. I suggest ... | |
| Thiel Owners halifax - your #s 293/4 are the highest #s of old LEX boards I have seen. Rob G had estimated around # 250 was changeover to FST / China. If and as you consider new boards, it would be best to layout new boards to accommodate larger parts. All of... |
