| Thiel Owners The original Phase Linear amps from the 1970s were nick-named "Flames Linear". We had one. It did. | |
| Thiel Owners Expansive grout is a waterproof cement product with adhesives, designed to expand in a crack to seal it. It may be called foundation crack sealer, wet-stop or similar.Those original CS7 baffles were portland cement concrete, which continues to shr... | |
| Thiel Owners Wow guys - I take a break and you all go at it! Unsound alludes to a "problem" in such a long, detailed thread as this one. Lots of information would be redundant for regulars, but helpful to new participants. I appreciate it when someone directs ... | |
| Thiel Owners I really like the Morrow cables compared with my admittedly limited stable of competitors. | |
| Thiel Owners Thieliste - Rob Gillum at Coherent Source Service would know. The third New Thiel CEO told me "less than a couple thousand"; but then he was defending the decision to abandon Jim's designs. My impression is that marketing was in disarray after Jim... | |
| Thiel Owners YYZsantabarbara - here are some thoughts about Thiel product versions - upgrades follow this general pattern. A product is introduced with components, especially drivers, being prototypes and early small production runs. Within the first year it b... | |
| Thiel Owners Nuzzi - I’m having a memory lapse even though it's only been 37 years. Please tell me if your CS3 equalizer is in a wood or metal case.Thanks,Tom | |

| Thiel Owners All - a little progress report from the hotrod garage. This past week I got first batch items of both the new terminals and the heatsinks. I think I mentioned the high purity copper bolts for terminals. But, heatsinks you ask? I know that heat is ... | |
| Thiel Owners JA - I’m holding one in my hand. Thiel used Dynaudio’s D28 AF (D 2806-2A) in both the CS3 and CS3.5. Its diaphragm is 3mm greater diameter than the ubiquitous D25. The bottom end of the D28 has higher output for that shallow blend with the midrange. | |
| Thiel Owners jhouse - There is no gasket of any kind behind the basket rim, and it is not in a rabbet. Mine was stuck hard to the painted baffle - force of habit I suppose. I used a thin bladed artist spatula, a putty knife will do, to work under the edge and ... | |
| Thiel Owners That's the old site when Kathy sold to New Thiel. Those are the old phone numbers, and notice there are no dealers. Might be a spontaneous archival regurgitation. |
