| Thiel Owners thieliste 8 feet apart and 10 feet to you , if I recall that is what Tom said this is the spacing he used for testing his mods . 2.7 manual is 8ft apart and 8 to 10ft to listener , min 3 feet speaker center from side walls and 2 1/2 from fron... | |
| Thiel Owners I was happy to hear that @thieliste 's speaker shootout declared the Cardas Clear Beyond speaker cables the winner being an owner of Cardas cabling . But for most the cost puts this out of reach for an average guy . While I tried and didn't succe... | |
| Thiel Owners pieper1973 As long as they are or add up to the same gauge , I had tried using Cardas Quadlink as the negative , sounded good but not as dynamic . | |
| Thiel Owners pieper1973 I am using speaker cables I made for the negative and both ends of a pre-made for the positive . I used Cardas chassis wire to made the cables for both the pos and neg , while at first I like the extra slam they gave me over time I re... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom T & Tom D Thank you for your guidance , now I don't have to agonize or worry about making a bad decision with inductor guage . I had looked into the foil inductors after beetlemania's positive experience, but they are to large in diamete... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom D. Wow , I'll say it again Wow , you are an amazing DIY'er . There are some who don't believe that a fuse can make a difference , or a power cord or an outlet let alone going back to the breaker panel . I've looked into Solen inductors bu... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom It looks like another screw job by the New Thiel Audio , the screws/bolts were black steel on mine ! I still got a bargain and the only way I could afford the new ( repaired ? ) 2.7s but I never expected different wire, inductors and now sc... | |
| Thiel Owners Thank You Tom T. & Tom D. The fasteners/screws/bolts that held the speakers and radiator were made with ferrous metal those used on the speaker binding plate were not . I wonder why after your finding in 1978 that ferrous metal screws were s... | |

| Vinyl Newbie - So Many Questions! So after reading more about your TT I learned what you have experienced, the motor is isolated from the plinth thru a hole and it sits on the self and that you might move it everytime you turn it on or off , I was going to suggest blue tac , I do... | |
| Vinyl Newbie - So Many Questions! P.S. I don't think that the motor housing should be moving , if you hold the housing can you then move the pulley ? I beleive that only the pulley should be floating . The three screws you see on top should be holding the motor housing to the p... | |
| Vinyl Newbie - So Many Questions! doodledan I looked at images of your model TT and the motor mounts are similar to my TT , on mine there are springs that level or keep the motor spinning so that it does float and the belt rides perfectly horizontal on the plater . This could b... | |
