| Thiel Owners @tomthiel I am a huge Thiel fan myself. If I could find a 2.7 I would be interested but these things are becoming harder to find. Lucky for me the tax man is keeping me broke for a few more months. I will keep an eye out for the 3.7 or 2.7 because... | |
| Computer for home audio I have something similar. One thing I do is keep the browser tabs to a minimum, especially on web sites that have a lot of video ads. These sites take up CPU cycles.I also use a Sonare microRendu that isolates the computer noise from the DAC. It i... | |
| Thiel Owners @thieliste I do not want to press my luck. I won't elaborate on a public forum. A few years ago some dealer in Southern Cal. had like something like 6 Thiel 3.7 speakers in storage that they wanted to clear out. I had no place to store it at that... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks everyone for your feedback on the 3.7's. My accountant was a party pooper today by informing me I have to make a larger than expected tax payment on Oct 15th. So no chance to make an offer on the 3.7 today.However, I am going to keep my eye... | |
| Thiel Owners @brayeagle I need to put my next floor standers in the space where the KEF LS50’s now reside. I cannot move anything now. I have identified 2 speakers that will work, Vivid Kaya 45, Paradigm Persona 3F, and maybe Yamaha NS5000. However, the 3.7’s ... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k I will text message you those stores and give you email and phone for them. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k @mayoradamwest If you make it down to S.Cal you can hear almost all the gear mentioned on this thread rather easily (not sure where for Audionet). Some of them at the same store. There are more high end audio stores down here than in the Bay Area.... | |
| Thiel Owners Advice from Thiel owners. There is a 3.7 for sale on A'gon which I am sure a lot of you have seen. My room is 12x11x9 and acoustically treated. I listen while I work so the sound level is low to medium. Am I crazy to consider the 3.7's for this sp... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Where did you hear the NS5000, in Canada or have they finally made it across the boarder to the USA?I am considering these speakers but have them lower on my list (of 3 speakers) because I have a small room at 12x11x9. The room is treated with ac... | |
| Any word when Yamaha M-5000 amp will hit the U.S. If we are talking about the NS 5000 speakers.I was informed that they should make it to the USA in the summer after some changes to accommodate the California safety rules. . Well summer ended 2 days ago I believe. I do know that I can get them sh... | |
| LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U The C-1000 all tube preamp is coming. It will be priced around 16K. Also recently heard the new Luxman SQN-150 integrated tube amp. Only about 11" wide. Has a built in SS MM/MC phono. Heard it w/a pair of Forte III's and a Clearaudio Concept TT.... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2019/09/19/sonore-bricasti-design-vivid-audio-cardas-audio-rmaf-2019/ Good report on the Vivid Kaya 45. Which I will shoehorn into my small 12x11x9 room. | |
| $40,000: What 2-channel system would you build? @fthngrg In today's dollars, your system is equivalent to $11,200. With that much cash you could get a fantastic sounding system. The new SS gear sounds so much better to me than the SS stuff I owned 20 years ago.With a $11,200 price tag I would c... | |
| $40,000: What 2-channel system would you build? I was looking at speakers first but then pivoted to focusing on electronics after I heard the Luxman m900u amp. Every speaker I heard with it and the Luxman c900u preamp sounded great to me. Speakers from $5K to $20K were all extremely enjoyable w... | |
| Integrated amps with room correction... @cosmicjazz The Linn system can be used with any speakers, It is a rather elaborate system so I recommend you read a good review or speak to a Linn dealer. I heard the Linn DSM Selekt with Linn speakers but if you do some internet searches you wil... |
