| Thiel Owners @thieliste The COAX, with mid and tweet, was $500 from Rob G. He also provides a really good solder to help attach the COAX to the speaker. I am not sure if Rob sells individual tweeters. He did say to repair my tweeter was around $250.There were ... | |
| DAC Dilemma The Benchmark DAC3 HGC is a good DAC but not that great as a preamp, I used it that way in the past. There is a reason Benchmark makes the LA4 and HPA4 preamp. These preamps will make the DAC3 sound better.I doubt you would be happy with the Bench... | |
| Coda continuum 8 @lancelock I remember your adventures with the #16. It was one reason I wanted to hear it. My 07x had some hiss issues and the dealers 07x was almost silent. So they took it back to send to CODA. My LA4 is my baseline for silence and the 07x comes... | |
| who makes your fav cable loom in 2021? I recently got some WyWire interconnects after buying the WyWire Platinum headphone XLR. Alex at WyWire seems to know his stuff when it comes to wires. I think he is doing a 40% off because it is a big company anniversary.My other cables are Audie... | |
| Coda continuum 8 I did a shootout with a modded LSA Voyager 350 GAN | CODA #8 | KRELL K-300i. They all had attributes that could make someone go for any of them depending on preferences.The Voyager was detailed, a bit warm, and not as powerful as the other 2, thou... | |
| Need a new FM Receiver that works very well I just got a great Magnum Dynalab MD108T. Wow, does it sound good on my incredible local station, KCRW.com (on FM). I was able to trade in my MD102 and that was the reason I went for the MD108T.I suggest you look at something like a used MD102 or... | |

| What DAC to get? The One to Beat: Gustard X26 PRO DAC Review (soundnews.net) | |
| What DAC to get? My Topping D90se is considered a great nuetral DAC at $900. Tremendous details from music on this DAC. My Gustard X26 Pro is considered by me to be a great DAC for $1500. It is a warmish DAC but with good details.My Benchmark DAC3B at $1700 is ano... | |
| Some DACs I am Considering-Any thoughts? I owned 1 of the DACs on the list and sold it to keep the cheaper Gustard X26 Pro at $1500. | |
| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k @emerald There was a dealer in Cyprus who advertised on A'gon that sold great gear and is very close to your location. I would not be surprised if he allowed some home demos given the close proximity to you. Just search on A'gon or google. | |
| Owning the speakers you dreamed of 20 years ago The speakers I wanted close to 20 years ago were the Thiel CS3.7. I had Revel Salon 1 back then and thought the CS3.7 was better. When I was deciding between speakers last year I narrowed it down to a broken down CS3.7 (which needed fixing) or the... | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier This preamp is a bit expensive but it has some historical connection with Threshold and it does sound great. I also own it and it sounds great. You may want to research the lower priced preamp models in CODA's lineup. Coda 07X Only 10 Hrs.use For... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel I am listening to the DAC3B as I type this. I was listening to the warmer Gustard X26 Pro DAC all day. However, whenever I listen to the DAC3B it just seems to sound right to me, especially on pop and rock music. Same CS3,7 system, both ... |
