| Thiel Owners I agree with you about the grills off and I too wish the woofers were black , I'm not sure if an aluminum baffle frame would be an improvement but since the woofer and the baffle are the same as the 2.4 ( of which many more were built ) maybe som... | |

| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album @ phillyspecial since you brought up Santana you might want to try to find the first 3 and only released by ARS Joerg Kessler - CBS 30595 Germany 2001 . These sound better than MFSL and CBS Half Speed Master Sound . | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album + 1 relayer101 I'll add the 3 releases of Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66 , "Stravinsky" CSO Solti , Nina Simone "Emergency Ward! " , Jefferson Airplane " Volunteers" , I have a few more so I'll just say any release by Speakers Corner . | |

| Thiel Owners I'll throw this out there as a possibility , you might have a cabinet leak . | |
| Kenny Burrell's album Midnight Blue Check your owners manual for both your " new " preamp and your amp , one of them seems to be inverting the output . I discovered that I had inverted my output when connecting the RCA cables blindly having to reach behind the amp . I didn't noti... | |
| Tube or solid state phono stage? As you narrow your selection down look for one with multiple loading selections , on the fly is also a nice feature . It might also be beneficial if you go with tubes , to look for one with the same type tubes in your preamp making tube rolling e... | |
