| digital vs vinyl thoughts Learsfool, thank you for your thoughtful response. I respectfully disagree with your assessment re: analog and digital. On the other hand , I couldn't agree more with you regarding the over amplification of music at live venues. In fact, I would g... | |
| Stupid speaker test question...please help a n00b I'd suggest listening to speakers at the appropriate listening position. Caveat, first order speakers might not be the best choice for dancers. I'd be leery of putting too much stock in Sterophiles testing of first order speakers. Unlike many othe... | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Not to suggest that good bass it the number one priority, but IME without good solid bass response the Thiels can sound a bit tipped up. I think the part of the appeal of the Thiels, is due to the outstanding balance of all paramaters, rather than... | |
| best preamp for CJ MF2500a at 2000 to 2500 dollars Nice amp, enjoy! | |
| What is Jazz? Certainly not the definitive answer, but to me: Jazz is the confluence of Afro-European music that celebrates individual interpretation within the context of the moment. | |
| Stupid speaker test question...please help a n00b Please define "typical room"? | |
| 400-450Wpc Integrated to drive Thiel 2.3/2.4? BTW, extra power is always good, but in such a small room it might be less critical. | |
| digital vs vinyl thoughts Minor1, I won't disagree with the specifics of your argument, but I believe you might have unfairly left out the fact that analog information is regularly obscured and/or distorted when it is superimposed with the typical mechanical noise artifact... | |
| 400-450Wpc Integrated to drive Thiel 2.3/2.4? I'm guessing you have an 8' ceiling too? That's a mighty difficult room. Might be too small, especially with those dimensions, for Thiel's 2 series. I'd suggest some speakers with less bass output, perhaps one of Theil's 1 series, which would prob... | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Thiel has used a variety of amps at shows over the years. When I questioned them about it, they admitted that they didn't always use their preferred amps, that often times it was about what the local dealers provided, or about trying to demonstrat... | |
| Using Internet Coaxial Connection as Tuner Antenna Might I suggest that you don't put a fork in the toaster.:-) | |
| digital vs vinyl thoughts Inna, hate to disappoint you, but it doesn't work like that. One of the few things that will be dismissed so easily, is just that kind or arrogance. | |
| 400-450Wpc Integrated to drive Thiel 2.3/2.4? BTW, I believe the sensitivity of the Thiel CS 2.4's is 88 dB 2.83V/M, not 98 dB, and that's at a rated 4 Ohm nominal 3 Ohm minimum rating.http://www.stereophile.com/content/thiel-cs24-loudspeaker-measurementsThe Thiel CS 2.3's are slightly more s... | |
| 400-450Wpc Integrated to drive Thiel 2.3/2.4? Fargel, With all due respect to all of the above and you as well, for my tastes none of the amps mentioned would be on my short list. With the Thiel 2.4's less than 3 Ohms minimum impedance and somewhat demanding phase angle, more than just Watts ... | |
| Preamp for Pass Labs XA30.5 A Pass pre is a no brainer. The suggestion above of exchanging the amp for the integrated is worthy of consideration. What ever you do, be mindful of the XA30.5's somewhat low input impedance, and try to use a pre with true differential balanced o... |
