| Thiel Owners I thought this might be of some interest to followers of this thread, though this paper is nearly 10 years old, it just recently came to my attention: https://www.keele-omholt-technologies.com/papers/Keele-CBT-Paper-08-Oct.-2015-Time-Phase-Behavi... | |
| DAC and Amplifier Synergy? With DACs commonlly featuring 32 bits, and having very capable volume controls can for those with digital only sources offer direct DAC to amp connection. In such a system compatability of impedance considerations and output voltage of the DAC an... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel , I do this with some apprehension, but as you say "Since this is all water long under the bridge,..." When Thiel Audio was still in business, but suspicions of Jim’s health concerns were begining to be rumoured, a reliable source (who o... | |
| Thiel Owners @spacebird42 , The CS 1.2’s with their moderate sensitivity and perhaps more importantly above 4 Ohm impedance they are amongst the easier Thiels to power. They can not go very low in bass , play very loud l, aren’t meant for large rooms. So used... | |

| Perhaps the most annoying myth in audio of 2025? Talking about Loudness! Do you hear live music much? | |
| Impedance - The most ignored and useful measurement tool @re-lar-kvothe , “ 2 Ohm stable” while better than nothing is really more market speak than of much value. It only suggests that the amp won’t go into oscillation when presented with a 2 Ohm load. It does not suggest how much power and/or at how m... | |

| Thiel Owners Hello, to all here on this thread. I want to give a shout out to @Duramax747. Heed his advice; as it is without doubt some of the best posted here! | |
| Thiel Owners @largeexpensiveboxes , for the CS 6's look for amplification capable of a minimum of 400 Watts into 2 Ohms. Depending on your room and desired listening levels more power could be beneficial. For most people in most rooms 800 Watts into 2 Ohms wou... | |
| Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day? No. | |
| Converting stereo single ended to balanced mono? I’m not sure if there might be some grounding issues. The source has a three prong plug, the two equalizers each have a two prong plug, amplification has 3 prong plug(s). | |
| Converting stereo single ended to balanced mono? Considering that the input would already have one inverted signal, I was wondering if just using one XLR with the the ground of two RCAs tied to one pin and just a positive leg running to one RCA and the negative running to a second RCA, and then... | |
| Thiel Owners @jon_5912, I’m glad you’re enjoying your CS 3.7’s. Good news!; I’m confident you'll appreciate them even more with a better source: https://www.noteburner.com/youtube-music-tips/youtube-music-audio-quality.html#:~:text=To%20put%20it%20simply,%20i... |
