| Thiel Owners ^The CS 5's are wonderful, but besides the need for an appropriate room, they really need a large amplifier budget. | |
| Thiel Owners oblgny, the older Thiels such as your 3.5's (I'm a big fan) were much more accommodating to tube amps with very steady impedances that didn't drop below the 4 Ohms. Thiels such as the CS 5's, and later ones with concentric drivers presented a ver... | |
| Conrad Johnson 350 vs Pass Labs X amp The Pass Labs amps are said to be ideally suited for pres with low output impedances and balanced outputs. The c-j's are obviously most likely to be very compatible. c-j has recently introduced some new ss amps. While some have noted that the newe... | |
| Thiel Owners ^Interesting, your impressions of the MI 2's vs. the MI 3's were so different than mine. I found the MI 3's to negate the emphasis of the brightness region (mid to lower treble), centering the sonic midrange, and though appearing contradictory; m... | |
| Thiel Owners I can't comment on Pops current cable recommendations, and I know he's previously tried some of the following, but I'll put them forward any way:Alpha-Core Goertz (w/ rc networks or zobels)OcosStraightwireWire WorldEnjoy! | |
| Thiel Owners While some might enjoy these Thiels with tube amps, ultimately I don't believe tubes are the ideal match: | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i dsper, with the CS 5's it's the amps capability into 2 Ohms that is most relevant. I would only consider amps that could double down and down again into that load. I would recommend by starting with amps spec'd with the capability to deliver at le... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i ^Thiel used to recommend one only use "Endust". Most everything else will leave dreaded fisheye. I apply the Endust to a soft cloth not directly to the cabinets. Be careful, especially with older models, cleaning the grill cloths, as it's possible... | |
| DSPeaker Dual Core 2.0: Tips and Tweaks Wanted I have been curious about this product, just wish it had more inputs. Though I have no personal experience with it, some have suggested upgrading the power supply to be beneficial. | |
| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced If I'm not mistaken: Some Thresholds have some similarities to some Quads.Some Nakamichis have some similarities to some Thresholds. Some Codas have some similarities to some Thresholds. Some Legacys' have some similarities to some Codas . So... | |
| Fuse for conrad mf2500A ? Any suggestions? http://www.conrad-johnson.com | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i ^I'll hazard a guess that it's not the 4 Ohm load that's the issue.As I posted earlier: Krell. | |
| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced Reference Line Model One Silver Signature. Many know of their passive pres, but their 100 Watt dual mono Class A stereo amp is a bit of an unknown honey. | |
