| Thiel Owners Please remind me which Class´e amps replaced which Adcom amps. | |
| Thiel Owners JA - it's still in the queue. Either a long queue or slow going. | |
| Thiel Owners FWIW: That's real Brazilian Rosewood. | |
| Thiel Owners I remember here awhile back that some of us messed with parallel feeds, like you are describing. Seems all agreed it sounded somehow "nicer" and "more alluring". Seems that at least 2" and preferably more separation is needed to minimize capacativ... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom - can you tell us more about your Sonoran Plateau wire?For the record, in his final products, Jim threaded the driver lead wires through silicon tubes suspended between the braces. Can anyone tell me if those tubes are affixed to the cabinet w... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom - I prefer to consider the room as a separate entity due mostly to how our aural neurology manages the inputs. Signals less than 5 to 10 milliseconds are conflated into a single onset transient. The longer that initial signal emanates, the mor... | |
| Thiel Owners Unsound - I don't know much about particular products. What little I do know says that for braided wire to work as designed, it must stay extremely quiet internally, and that's no small task. Straightwire's Bflat (I believe) preceded Wireworld's e... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom - that's the real deal. There's always plenty more to learn than most of us can absorb. That's beyond my scope, but if you dive in, I'd love to hear your summaries as time might allow.TT | |
| Thiel Owners Tom - that guy knows his wire, and consider his background at Belden. I'd love to hear his wire.He reminds me of my first aha speaker cable experience at CES around 1978. (This post repeats some earlier references, but 200+ pages deep and some new... | |
| Thiel Owners Rob - It is likely that the two coils have the same inductance and simply vary in their aspect ratios - a minor difference. Speculation is risky.Using the coil wire (like yours), and not a jumper wire, is best practice. | |
| Thiel Owners thoft - I'm not an electrician, but do have experience with circuitry and ground loops. I highly recommend you fix your house grounding, not only for the amps but for safety and right functioning of all your gizmos. Electric circuits routinely ble... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom - I would be the thermal culprit. I think thermal management is more important than generally believed. I am systematically addressing the mantra of shortcomings of Thiel speakers over four decades. Among those complaints is "they’re fine for ... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi guys - an update from the hotrod garage. Recently I was lent a pair of CS2.4s for experimentation. Initial auditioning was disappointing, but it turned out that one coax was dead and the other rubbing. Rob rebuilt them, and yesterday I reinstal... | |
| Thiel Owners Thiel migrated away from direct wood fastening to inserts sometime after I left. There are advantages of reliability over multiple uses. However, metal on metal under vibration will (reliably?) vibrate loose. Breakaway Locktite helps as does Morti... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom - your missive runs parallel to my experience. In the case of my outboard crossovers, and mounting my internal crossovers and back-plates - I am using all nylon. Drivers need more strength so I use brass. naimfan - stripping is an issue with s... |
