| Thiel Owners The crossover in picture is from a 2.7 , the review / endorsement is for a 6 ! The graph is from Stereophile . Tom was asked about it many pages ago and poo pooed the idea . | |
| Thiel Owners thieliste If you do upgrade the crossovers on your 3.7 I believe that you would be the first to do so . Also , I tried to keep the speakers facing straight ahead with 37" from the side walls, but the music just didn't sparkle almost a little f... | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout Very entertaining story , worse than any story I could tell but , I did use a Grado Sonata and Master for years and it is so true about setting them up because of the giant the wooden body , I had to have my outer clamping ring milled from a 45 d... | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent Have you considered a tube buffer or a tube disc player ? I had the last solid state Carver CD player design , granted it was from the 80's and it sounded digital . It was replaced with Carvers last CD player that uses 2 tubes in the ou... | |

| Tonearm Parallel? @jorgjean Happy Day After Thanksgiving How many cartridges do you play with ? Suggestion 1 stereo and 1 mono from the same company and possibly even the same model like Soundsmith Carmen mkII that comes in both or the Grado Prestige Special... | |
| VTA my compromise in setting Happy Thanksgiving True, first I check to see if the cartridge is level then I use the straight arm because you have a longer parallel line for better accuracy . Now in about an hour I'll be ready for pumpkin and pecan pie . | |
| VTA my compromise in setting @dekay The mean might be closer to 155 but the 160 is close enough. Today I played a 1976 German pressing of the Doors that weighed 114gr and it sounded great to my ears . What weight record is your cartridge level ? SME like my ex-Rega have t... | |
| VTA my compromise in setting @fsonicsmith I'm a bit confused and taken back by your response , while I compromised on setting my VTA for a 160gr record or about the middle of the weight range you compromised on Bob ! We're both locked in aren't we ? | |
