| Pontus vs Gustard? @antigrunge2 I am looking for feedback on this too. I was hoping that Sandu from Soundnews.net does a follow-up review of the X26 Pro with the clock. That guy is on the money with his reviews. I bought 3 items based on his reviews and I agreed wit... | |
| Would you buy a piece of gear with a defect? Today I sold some Thiel COAX drivers and 1 of the drivers has a tweeter issue. Buyer is aware and can fix it. I am selling the drivers for 1/3 the price new.@czbbcl I still have my SCD-1 going strong, love this player There is a poster, @TomThiel ... | |
| Thiel Owners Good choice on not shipping the SCD-1. The original packaging is likely no longer suitable for shipping. The foam degrades with time and no longer can absorb the shocks in shipping.I threw out my foam packing on the SCD-1 since it was crumbling. T... | |
| The Worst Room... My room is small and really bad. However, with acoustic panels and also software DSP (for digital only) via Convolution files (running on ROON Server). I have floor standers in the room and they sound excellent. I have a photo of the office room i... | |

| KEF LS50 Meta with Marantz MM7025 The KEF LS50 love power. I even ran them with Bryston 7B-SST which is about 600 watts @ 8Ohm.This morning I connected the LS50 with a single Benchmark AHB2 (100 @ 8 Ohm) and I was lamenting the low power number. | |
| Power Cord Wall to Conditioner Audience Forte F3 Forte F3 powerChord (audience-av.com) I use them on 2 amps and 2 from the wall to Audience Forte power conditioners. I am impressed by the performance of the Audience Forte conditioner. Not sure if the Forte F3 cable made a d... | |

I use a preamp with dual XLR outputs to connect to 2 different sets of speakers, RAAL SR1a and Thiel CS3.7.I use the CODA 07x preamp to control this setup. Not exactly answ... | |

| Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD I think I posted that my KRELL k-300i would be great with a Harbeth, but I deleted that post since I was set to sell the unit. However, today those plans have changed and the KRELL is needed.I have heard the Harbeth with Luxman c900u and m900u com... | |
