| Ifi Zen Streamer plus upgraded power supply - the streamer to beat?? I'm considering waiting for the MK II version. By then it should have a genuine Roon endorsement. And there certainly seems to be enough real estate on the front panel for individual indicator format lights instead of that silly color-coded system... | |
| Thiel Owners @Thieliste, Same here, long wall. I personally prefer long wall placement. I find imaging and bass response often improves with such a layout. But again, absorption directly behind the listener is required to avoid comb filtering. Even if it's jus... | |

| Thiel Owners ^Thiel measured their speakers from a distance of 3 meters (approximately 10’), and a minimum of 8’ is required for driver integration and time alignment, aimed straight ahead. If I recall correctly, the 3 meter distance would have a convergence o... | |
| Thiel Owners ^It's not like it was when Lana, Dawn and Shari were there to pick up the phone. Too bad. :-( | |

| AUDIONET HUMBOLDT INTEGRATED SONIC NIRVANA !? Why one box for all that weight. For the price, the specs aren't all that impressive. | |
| Thiel Owners ^Interesting. For $55K the Humboldt's specs don't impress, especially for a load like the Thiel CS 3.7's. The Humboldt is rated for 320 Watts into 8 Ohms / doesn't come close to doubling down with 460 Watts into 4 Ohms and is not spec'd into 2 Ohm... | |
| How important is it that all cables come from the same manufacturer? Starting with the same cables can give one a better base line. After that, some components will interact with different cables better than others. | |
| Thiel Owners ^Not all Pass Labs are suitable for all Thiels. | |
| Thiel Owners @arvincastro , Good luck, enjoy! | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, I was really trying to specifically point out Post #27 where the poster found a way to resuscitate a midrange driver that might have otherwise been discarded. There may be hope for those that might have otherwise given up in the meantim... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, et al, Saw this on another site: Renovating Thiel CS3.5 Speakers | Page 2 | Audio Science Review (ASR) Forum Post #27 Is there newfound hope? | |

| Thiel Owners ^While not specifically calling out the Coda, I often suggest caution when reading the meters on consumer gear. Despite their not inconsiderable expense, they are almost never calibrated, and more often than not serve to misinform rather than to i... |
