| Thiel CS 3.6 vs 3.7 I just bought a CS3.7 and discovered a shed load of issues. There is a support person in KY that can provide technical support to resolve all of these problems. If you buy a CS3.7, I suggest you take some measurements to make sure your speaker is ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Blue Rodeo - Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 | |
| Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me? @welcher This is a nice explanation of file data transfer. How about streaming, such as TIDAL, TV sound, etc.. You cannot go back and retransmit so there must be some occasional loss or imperfections. For music I assume it is not as catastrophic a... | |
| Where are the cheap home streamers? Anyone using aptX HD protocol over Bluetooth on a DAC. I am reading up on 2 DACs that support this type of streaming, The Matrix Mini-I Pro 3 and the Topping D90. I am looking for a DAC for a bedroom headphone only system.You can stream via Androi... | |
| Amplifier suggestions please @jumper75 The Benchmark web site has a menu section called APPLICATION NOTES. You will find all the technical details there.As I mentioned previously the 30 day trial of the AHB2 is a no lose proposition. | |
| Amplifier suggestions please @jumper75 I have the single AHB2 and I think it is the best amp I have ever owned because it is so quiet. Do the 30 day trial since you have nothing to lose (if you are in the USA). This amp does NOT require break-in contrary to what reviewers are... | |
| Amplifier suggestions please Regarding the OP question. Why not look into a Purifi mono from March Audio. Likely similar to the Benchmark AHB2.https://www.marchaudio.net.au/p451 | |
| Amplifier suggestions please @sixsigmaguy Are the 2 AHB2's louder at the same volume level than a single AHB2? What speakers are you using with the mono AHB2's? I have a single AHB2 and want to do a 30 trial with a second one. My speakers have some unusual power requirements ... | |
| Benchmark HPA4 vs. SST Thoebe II Do you have headphones, if not, the LA4 is the same as the HPA4 but $500 cheaper. I have never heard the SST but the HPA4, which I own, is a great piece and has no sonic signature. It is the quietest preamp I have ever heard and that makes a huge ... | |
| Thiel Owners I just found some photos of a Satin Black CS3.7 and it does look real sharp.https://img.usaudiomart.com/uploads/large/2089598-1d5bad0b-thiel-cs-37s-satin-black-wtheir-original-...I am going to the paint store today and will decide between the Sati... | |
| Where are the cheap home streamers? Darko web site talks a lot about streamers at all price levels. | |
| My Mark Levinson preamp dying - looking for new preamp, sound as good, wont break bank Benchmark LA4 $2500 + $100 remote. They have a 30 day home trial. Only thing is that you will now hear only your source, amp, speakers, not the preamp. I used to own the 4B-SST so if you want a warmish preamp the LA4 is not for you, it will not ad... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel I have been in contact with Rob and I have already done the multimeter test. I think the wiring was revered both on the wires coming out of the crossover and also the connection to both midrange and tweeter terminals. A real mess up. I h... | |
| Thiel Owners @thieliste I know about those 2 DACs. I am looking at a bit lower cost, so the Halo Spring Level 3 and the Denafrips Terminator +. If I were to spend over $10K (I won't for a DAC) I think it would be the non-R2R Mola Mola Tambaqui. I have spent $... | |
| Thiel Owners I was also surprised at the amount of content from China on the CS3.7. I thought they built the COAX in house but Rob mentioned something about getting shipment of drivers and why they have the black coated new ones. I did not ask more questions o... |
