| 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... | |
| Thiel Owners Does anyone have any info on the woodwork on the CS3.7? Is it solid wood or is there a veneer on it? I will talk with Rob Gillum next week or the week after Thanksgiving. In the meantime does anyone have any info on the wood panels. I would be int... | |
| Thiel Owners @hifi28 In my even smaller room I got the CS3.7 to work very good and this was with a nightmarish COAX situation (slowly resolving). My room is acoustically treated. I know almost all the posts on A’gon say the CS3.7 requires a fairly large room, ... | |
| What is the best audiophile speaker for a tiny square room? @chungjh Yesterday I was testing out how loud I could take my speakers since I am replacing the tweeter and midrange (COAX) next week on my Thiel CS3.7. So if I blew them no big deal. Normally I sit with my back to the speakers with my head lookin... | |
| What is the best audiophile speaker for a tiny square room? @zaphod2006 I had the Audience 1+1 and the KEF LS50 driven by a Peachtree Nova 150 in the the same room for a few months. The 1+1 was 2x the cost and I wanted to like it more than the LS50 however, I could not get it to sound good. The imaging was... | |
| What is the best audiophile speaker for a tiny square room? @chungjh Great that you got panels coming your way. It will open up a world of possibilities for your speaker selection.I chose the Thiel CS3.7 because I always wanted it. It was my second favorite all-time speaker and a local sale came up, so I w... | |
| What is the best audiophile speaker for a tiny square room? I just put in Thiel CS 3.7 in a slightly larger room than yours. I removed a closet door to give me a bit more space, especially the space from my head to the wall behind me. I am assuming your space is a dedicated listening space. https://systems... | |
| Streamers sans DAC? The Sonore Rendu lineup. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel I also have a Sony SCD-1. I had it modified by this guy,https://sublimelistening.com/ His work is amazing and I think he could be a great person to contact for you to see about repairing your SCD-1. The Vacuum State Mods he also does tak... | |
| Integrated amp -- Pass Labs vs Luxman vs McIntosh @arafiq The guy to go on the CODA gear is teajay. He has stirred the pot up pretty good around here getting the word out on the new CODA gear, specifically the #8 and #16.I was actually thinking of the #8 to pair with my new Thiel CS3.7s + Benchm... | |
| Stereophile Awards 2020 Just looked at the NAD web site and could not tell if the unit is a ROON endpoint. If it is can you stream wirelessly from a ROON server?I have some orphaned KEF LS50’s and this unit would work great for me if that type of streaming is possible. A... |
