| Thiel Owners tmsrdg - I don't have a track. My MO is to play more music rather than concentrating on a single cut. So, I skip through the disc to find passages that do whatever I need to do. I will say that disc one is more obnoxious, disc 2 is the best, and t... | |
| Thiel Owners As I mentioned, I don't have 3.7s. If I were testing them, I would find some music and/or test signal that reliably produce the problem. I would use a stethoscope to reliably hear it. I would then mount felt and test, then add UltraSuede and test.... | |
| Thiel Owners Try it. Send a PM for more detail.TT | |
| Thiel Owners Tmsrdg - I don't have 3.7s, but there is some baffle flat. My 1.6s benefited from laminar launch baffle treatment. | |
| Thiel Owners Prof - I want to thank you personally for cheering the 02s awhile back. Your enthusiasm caused me to get a few pairs which are now my primary workhorses for comparing solutions and making sense of upgrade package choices. The stock 02 is surprisin... | |
| Thiel Owners You guys are on to something. I got a pair of 3.6s about 1.5 years ago and discovered the phenomenon you all are addressing. It barely, if at all, exists on the CS2.2 or 3.5, of great familiarity to me, and subsequently not very present on the CS1... | |
| Thiel Owners solobone - I do not have that Mahler. | |
| Thiel Owners @solobone22 - I'd be glad to listen to your test tune; I have a pair of 3.6s in my studio as permanent references. Note that Rob has rebuild kits for that tweeter (CS2.2, 3.6, 5). If it is fried, I suggest sending the whole unit to Rob, because th... | |
| Thiel Owners snbeall - Rob at Coherent Source Service might have some definitive answers for you. In general, a big voltage swing in audio is 10 volts. Interesting thing about hearing is that our brain compensates somehow. My HF rolls off starting at 4K, but I... | |
| Thiel Owners Real - I for one am interested in your comparison of your Krell vs the BHK. | |
| Thiel Owners A lot depends on the particulars and personality of the company. I think Vandersteen and Wilson have survived with a son taking the reins. Some companies survive via economic viability, but even there look at B&W among others who struggle to m... | |
| Thiel Owners And another one bites the dust. And another one rises before us. Sing that song loud and clear. Happy New Year. | |
| Thiel Owners Beetle - how did that Halcro amp weather the ages? Its circuit topology seems reminiscent of the BM AHB-2 in layman's descriptive terms. Indeed specs don't tell the whole story and harmonic distortion can be a particularly beast since low / even h... | |
| Thiel Owners Thielrules - thank you for posting that amp list. There is a fairly widespread belief among audio pros that audiophiles prefer distortion to provide qualities they call "fullness, richness, lushness, warmth", etc. I must confess that it took me qu... | |
| Thiel Owners JM and all - for a dose of Christmas Music with a twist, tune into Dana Cunningham's Christmas Concert, Sunday night at 8PM eastern via her website danacunningham.com It's my first livestream event and I'll be recording it in high resolution audi... |
