| Thiel Owners @8th-note, Great job reporting!Geesh, $600 for a driver rebuild !?....And with so much work on your part. | |
| Resale prices for Oppo Digital Universal Players @briano, your certainly entitled to your opinions. It just might be more palatable if it was presented as such, rather than as factual declarations.That professional reviewers have almost universally published just about complete opposite opinions... | |
| fair complaint about Audiogon, violating no guidelines, removed The knee jerk editorial reactions by the moderators to slightest objections whether warranted or not by some of the oh so sensitive complainers is becoming ludicrous. Trying to get clarification or content republished is not made easy, and often t... | |
| Watts and power "2 watts of SS power to equal 1 watt of tube power"...And it takes 2 inches on a tape measure to equal to 1 inch on a rule. | |
| Resale prices for Oppo Digital Universal Players The Oppo 205 features a very fine DAC chip, the same as used in top ranked DAC's costing many time the Oppo's price. The analog section features a decent sized toroidal transformer that would be comparable to many preamps, and a fully balanced out... | |
| Thiel Owners I've mentioned this before, but perhaps it's worth mentioning again. Claims of stability into a given impedance doesn't really say much, other than the amp won't go into oscillation when faced with such an impedance. Sure it's nice to know your am... | |
| Thiel Owners @altx, I’m not really versed in the intergrated market. iIntergrateds do offer value in reducing the significant cost of case work, reduced cabling and shelf space. On the other hand, if you notice the top pres often have separate power supplies, ... | |
| Thiel Owners @altx, I’n the past I’ve run CS2’s with a few different amps including amongst others the B&K ST 140 and closer to your EX-442, the B&K M 200’s. The M200’s are really nice. I am not familiar with the Sim intergrated. I do know that the Sim... | |
| Thiel Owners I am in complete agreement with Beetlemania. The core designs are what helped separate Thiel from the herd. It would be hard for a small company to market competing design principles and still maintain credibility. Grooming a replacement for Jim w... | |
| Thiel Owners ^I just called, not particularly helpful. | |
| Watts and power As a very general rule of thumb: I think it safe to suggest that one double the speaker manufacturers minimum power recommendation and to consider amps that can double down that power to that speakers minimum impedance. Again, just a general rule ... | |
| Is the Modwright for an Oppo udp205 worth it? ^The Oppo 205 as a DAC punches above it's weight class. It's connectivity options for other digital sources is fairly extensive. Using an external DAC frequently adds greater jitter. The extent of which can vary by transmission type. Unfortunately... | |
| Best used Krell two channel amp? ^14 year old thread. | |
| Is the Modwright for an Oppo udp205 worth it? @melm, native SACD.Probably reduced jitter. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, Not something I can take on. 2020 is most encouraging. Will one need to have their current grills modified or can one purchase new updated grills? |
