| LP Cleaning Services @sc53 Shipping records . CD's or books by USPS " Media Mail " is the best deal in shipping , I have shipped 15 records across the country to a record cleaning service for around $6.00 ! But you must go to the post office and request " Media " ... | |
| The Mood Was Ruined Studs in the wrong place , so take a 2' x 2' or longer piece of 3/4" plywood and screw that into your studs with 3 or 3 1/5 " screws then mount your TT bracket onto that , I drilled 1/2" holes thru both the board and the wall then used toggle nu... | |
| Joni Mitchell Blue - Wow help me Agoners if you want to spend $ I guess ( since it's not out yet ) the MOFI 45rpm LP set would be the way to go , for less a Japanese pressing sounds great and I like the new Box set of the Archives vol 1 . I have at least 3 copies of her first 4 album... | |
| Thiel Owners Grill on or off ? While Tom took some measurements on his SCS4 speakers and found very little difference in sound and jafant listened to his CS2.4 speakers and found no difference in sound so I can only speculate that the improvement I am hearin... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks Tom After looking at images of different Thiel speakers I'm guessing that most just have speaker fabric covering them , since the 2.7 and 3.7 have the same design coaxial speaker that are not recessed that they might be the only speakers w... | |

| Thiel Owners Tom & All No Grill , In my opinion but I do suggest that one should try it . I hear a taming or muffling , without the grills I hear nuonces that are lost but if your system is bright then maybe leave the grills on , again IMO . So now eve... | |
| Thiel Owners There is a pair of White 2.4s on reverb for sale $1850 . Tom , the grill on the 3.7 looks to be the same type as the 2.7 , do you recommend something different ? and what could replace it ? | |
| Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper @eyecatcher127 It's very cool that that the manufacture makes an upgrade kit for the crossovers , but new drivers too ! Whichever way you go from my experience I'd stay away from silver plating over copper wiring , either use pure copper or pur... | |
| Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper @eyecatcher127 Who manufactures the speakers and What size and type wire is being used now , have you or are you going to upgrade the crossovers ? On the Thiel forum there is a lot of conversation about internal wiring , I myself rewired us... | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? @tomcarr I agree with you but how many sock puppets do you know that can sing and play the banjo ? | |
| Thiel Owners @prof If you would like to discuss the issues and or obstacles to upgrading your 2.7 crossovers PM me . You can see the finished woofer and work in progress mid/tweeter board on virtual systems . The finishing touch will be the Purity 1uf caps ... |
