| Manufacturers with Excellent customer service Though not relevant anymore, the best customer service I’ve ever experienced, and I mean in any industry not just audio, was with Thiel Audio. Though everyone, and I do mean everyone there, was great, I have to give special mention to Shari Graham. | |
| Thiel Owners ^Many if not most B&W's have impedance plots and phase angles that don't typically take kindly to tube amplification. That B&W bought Classe' might be due to more than a coincidence. | |
| Thiel Owners @thieliste, I’ll hazard a guess that the 16’s 100 Watts Class A output halves with each halving of impedance (assuming it can hold up below 4 Ohms) below 8 Ohms. And that happens as the CS 3.7’s sensitivity is dropping as proportionately with impe... | |
| To biwire or not to biwire, that is the question An alternative that might be more economical, and this suggestion presumes you use separates power amplification and preferably balanced, is to use one pair of longer interconnects and two pairs of shorter speaker cables. | |
| Latest Oppo"s selling for twice retail ...But not a seat for every ass. | |
| Thiel Owners ^i completely agree! | |

| Thiel Owners @jmbumgarner01, FWIW, I clearly prefer the Pass Labs 250.8 to the Classe’ DR-15, but at what cost? I suspect the extra costs might be more rewarding if spent elsewhere. Perhaps, on newer digital sources, or upgraded Thiel’s? | |
| Latest Oppo"s selling for twice retail ^I disagree. | |
| Cheap Old Preamps I hope you realize that for a budget of <$100, your replacement tube costs will be a significant percentage of your initial cost. | |
| FM Tuner for audiophiles-is it a bad idea today? FWIW, vinyl is still spun sometimes over FM. | |
| Streaming vs CD transport direct comparison @georgehif, I understand that there was a unanimous consensus as to a preference. But, was there a consensus as to just how much difference there was between the formats, and if so by how much? | |
| New game with active speakers All in one packaged active speakers certainly have their appeal. As I understand it, the most problematic new products tend to be (mostly Class D) self powered subwoofers. I'd be more comfortable with this concept if they were more modular in comp... | |
