| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle @willgolf I agree with you on an audiophile circuit breaker , using the audiophile forum I found this https://www.akikoaudio.com/en/products/570-05-akiko-audio-cylindric-fuse-cartridge-english . But I believe that this would mainly or possibly ... | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle I believe that @mlapenta went with a Furutech outlet based on both the experience and opinions of responders , It would be nice to hear a follow up about his choice . | |
| McCormack DNA HT3 Amp and Bellari 532 Passive Pre-amp ..Good Match ? rocky1313 I am using a goldpoint passive preamp with a McCormack DNA-250 amp , I have a Tavish Designs Adagio Tube phono preamp and a Carver SD/A-490t CD player and I love it , no problems but I do have to have the volume up 3 or 4 ( out of 24 )... | |
| Thiel Owners jonandfamily sorry about spelling your screen name wrong , 2 things , are you sure it's the speaker ? have you switched them ? when re-soldering have your iron just hot enough to melt the solder , also check the speaker wire soldering . you d... | |
| Thiel Owners jomamdfamily since the one tweeter is not working and Rob thinking that it could be a lead wire you could try to re-solder the wire connection where the speaker cable attaches . | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks Until you finish your upgrade project , then you'll have the best bar none . I hope it looks as good as improvedsounds does . | |
| Thiel Owners Thank You Tom There is no need to defend Thiel , I purchased these speakers based on the extremely positive reviews and the overwhelming enthusiastic support from individual owners . I can say that when New Thiel was bankrupt and selling off s... | |
| Thiel Owners " Blue Printed " As a DIYer I can tell you that it is impossible for me to "blue print " my crossover boards , but I can and have been able to " balance " them . To truly blue print a board one must have a box full of each component in order to... | |
| Best company to mod your gear? ayfuller Does atoll-electronigue offer an upgrade to the SE model ? If not I'd suggest selling and finding a SE version , after looking at the images of the inside there isn't much room and moving up to the SE would probably be less expensive , ... | |
| Thiel Owners @dmac67 CS3.6 speakers are a good choice and a bargain at that price but I would be asking Tom his opinion about the fact that the tweeters and midrange speakers were replaced before you buy . | |
| 12x7 tubes Brent Jessee is a great source , Tubemonger is another one , I replaced 3 RCA black plate 5751's with " slovakian " 12ax7's ( ecc803s ) in my phono preamp , Love Them . The gain of a 5751 is 70% of a 12ax7 but you don't hear 70% less , the d... | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle bigtwin My point is that I conducted a hearing shootout and heard a difference , some equipment is easier to do a/b or a/b/c/d testing . Using an electrical box that holds 4 outlets made the experiment easy , I've done hearing experiments with f... | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle My gut feeling is no one would be able to hear the difference between a $3 standard house outlet and a $300 audiophile plug. Just saying......"bigtwin" If you had read my 1st post you would have learned that I heard a difference when testing 4 d... | |
| Thiel Owners bobscliff check out speakerworks they have a good video on repairing speakers . big_greg. I have a Merrill Heirloom TT with an outer clamping ring and I think it makes a big difference , I am surprised that there aren't more TTs with either an... | |
| Thiel Owners @big_greg You have a lot more experience with equipment than I will ever have , but your thoughts about the phono stage is something I can totally agree with . Does your Sota have the vacuum hold down ? My experience is with MM cartridges only ... |
