| Thiel Owners @audiofilio123, Respectfully; if you subtract all the marketing fluff, those specs aren’t all that special. | |
| Thiel Owners @johnnotkathi, Thank you for saving me from having to reply. For those who might eschew the objective, and might prefer the subjective; i suggest comparing the output with one’s ear in direct proximity of a loudspeakers drivers with source turn... | |
| Thiel Owners FWIW, the SINAD measurements would suggest otherwise. Not all switch-mode power supplies are the same. At the $1K (and perhaps even more) is a compelling consideration. | |
| Thiel Owners @johnnotkathi, Take this with a grain of salt. Jim Thiel thought Class D amps were only suitable for sub-woofer duty. But a lot of progress has been made with Class D since Jim's passing. I haven't experienced these for myself. Before consid... | |

| Opinions on Dunlavy Aletha Speaker I realize this an old thread, but does anyone know if replacement parts are still available for this model? | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, of course you would know better than me. But, aside from being able to make the under hung motors more available across the various models , which is somewhat negated by the lowered price point models using different woofers anyway, I ... | |
| Thiel Owners “Listening to a sealed speaker you hear the bass in real time and it’s difficult to go back.” I very much agree! | |
| Soeaker cables technologic dilema… @amtprod, You might wan to use the Goertz alpha-core RC-Networks (zobels) attached to the speaker terminals regardless, as there is no sound reason not to, and the potential protection might keep your amplifer from frying. Especially recommended ... | |
| Thiel Owners @andy2, It could be due to surface area as early reflections can have an impact on sound stage and/or imaging. Room treatment might mitigate your concerns. | |
| Thiel Owners @andy2 , I agree with @jafant in that often times it's with the recording. I can't comment on your hearing. But after the recording, I suspect it's more likely room and/or placement issues rather than your gear. | |
| 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... |
