| Recondition my 1986 Thiel CS1.0 or buy new? That seems like the best course of action. Let us know how it goes. | |
| Rolling Stone Mag 100 Greatest Guitarists I agree with Audiofeil. Though there are bound to be some worthy contenders, perhaps some that are unfamiliar. | |
| CD-format to be abandoned by major labels by the e Theo's got it right. CD's are still a major profit source and as long as it continues to be, so will CD production. It doesn't appear as though that is going to change for some time to come. | |
| Recondition my 1986 Thiel CS1.0 or buy new? Elevick, while perhaps not as sensitive as some of Thiels newer models, I think the the impedance load of the Thiel CS 1 is lot easier on amplifiers than the newer Thiels.Raya, if they're not broken, I'd leave them alone. Though perhaps undervalue... | |
| Paul Motian RIP He will be missed. | |
| Budget Speakers for a small living room FYI, an 11 X 11 room can be problematic. | |
| Help Me Save A Few Bucks On New Amp Purchase FWIW, I think a good idea to have generous head room, especially when using ss amps. | |
| Electrocompaniet Nemo I honestly don't believe EC's claims of Class A operation. I used a very nice EC integrated for a short while. For a supposed Class A amp section, it didn't run hot, and didn't have much in the way of heat sinks. Still a pretty decent sounding pie... | |
| $2000 speaker help I agree with the room/speakers being the most important. The Vandersteens are an excellent recommendation. But..., ultimately I prefer used Thiel 3.5's. The only caveat is that the Thiels prefer more expensive amplification. Not to worry, for roug... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? A bit off topic here, but it seems to me that a lot of classical musicians spend a heck of a lot of time working on their "tone". | |
| What matters most in speaker design? It's been reported that John Dunlavy thought step response was what mattered most in speaker design. | |
| Free speaker tweak that's a must do I would suggest using a non-magnetic screwdriver. Some driver magnets are surprisingly strong, and can seem to reach out and grab a screwdriver, leaving a punctured driver in it's wake. | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Vertigo, I believe your apple pie comparison is misplaced. Apple pies might more likely be compared to recordings, and the formats might be more appropriately compared to the pans they're baked in. Frogman, despite the digital dig, I think your po... | |
| Tube AMP or SS Ah, we agree! That is not to say, that I don't think that a tube amp isn't more appropriate in many circumstances, and visa versa. | |
| Tube AMP or SS Dollar for dollar one can buy more ss watts than tube watts, and in the process avoid clipping altogether. It's been pointed out numerous times in this thread alone, that different amp technologies work differently with different speaker loads, bu... |
