| Thiel Owners @beetlemania @tomthielI was thinking of a way to test the different connections at the same time, but is sounds like you used a simular method when building your crossovers .But the more I think about it listening in mono might have limited value ... | |
| Thiel Owners @beetlmania I'm glad that you like what your hearing ,more open , clear and dimensional is similar to what TT heard when he tried it , page 155 .Does your preamp have a left / right channel and mono option ?If this does end up sounding better to ... | |
| Record mishaps I won the bids on 3 Pentangle records from Japan on E-bay and somewhere in the mail they got bent !Yes bent , one actually had a fold looking like a stair step !!I send my records out to be ultrsonically cleaned and lucklyhe also offered a flatten... | |
| Thiel Owners After mowing the lawn for the 3rd day in a row , (1 acre with an electric mower ) I thought I'd do something fun likechecking out other Thiel owners virtual systems , they are beautiful !Soon ( I hope ) my room will be presentable enough to show .... | |
| VTA on the fly @larryi for VTA on the fly remotely try Expressimo Audio .for me it's stop everything , loosen the bolt that holds the tonearm and raise or lower then tighten the bolt circa 1985 Merrill turntable . | |
| How far away from your speakers are you? 16 feet from your speakers and only 8 feet apart !8 feet apart and 8 feet to my ears , an equilateral triangle , 39" from front and 30.5 from the wall , not perfect but close to theCardas method . | |

| Thiel Owners @beetlmania Thanks , when I made my speaker cables there were 2 main variables replacing the 2 x 11.5 awg ( 8.5 awg ) Neutral Reference speaker cableswith 1 x 9.5 awg chassis wire and keeping them sperated to eliminate capacitance .I was well rew... | |
| Thiel Owners I looked at your systems page ,you do have 2 GR bi-wired cables !Base crossover wiring on the bottom and mid/tweeter on top ?Try taking cable #1 and make it + , both black and red at the amptake cable #2 and make it - , both black and red at the a... | |
| Thiel Owners @beetlemaniaI believe you said that you have Cardas Golden Reference speaker cables ? 2 pair ?Do you have 2 speaker outputs ?If both of the above have you tried using 1 cable for each polarity ?DIY is crazy , crazy fun .Rob | |
| Thiel Owners Thank You @beetlemaniaTom's solution looks like a more balanced increase in guage ,than going from 15.5 mids to 11.5 which might be to much .I"ll have to learn the hand twist +/- to 3 turns per inch ,how much longer per foot does the twisting add ... | |
| Thiel Owners @beetlemania I have a question ( and your opinion ) about your guage selection for both the woofer in/out and the coax in/out .All Thiel speakers used 18awg in and out , Tom Thiel has advised increasing the the guage from speaker post to X-over bo... | |
| I swapped a capacitor and the oddest thing happened I haven't started upgrading componets on my speaker crossovers yet ,but while changing capacitors in my amp ( 4 to 8 at a time in sectioned groups , 40 in all ) I allways noticed lack of bass volume .The bass would be there if you listened hard en... |
