| Thiel Owners Hi Rob,Tube rolling can be a money pit if we are not careful! The most expensive tubes I have purchased were $120 a pair so I can't comment on the "top end" stuff. I do notice that Brent Jesse often has high quality tubes that he calls "butt ugly... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi jafant,I have not spent a lot of time with cabling as my moves with amps, preamps, and DACS tend to be going up the food chain and I see big improvements as I audition this type of gear.Having said that, I use less expensive Cullen Cable inte... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi All,I posted earlier about a treble harshness with my Thiel CS5's. I redid the mirror along the wall test and installed a DIY sound absorber which seems to to have done the trick. The harshness is pretty much gone except for the most badly reco... | |
| Thiel Owners Thieliste,Try to audition a Coda CS. Biased to class A for the first 8 watts and peak current of 100 amperes per channel. 300 WPC into 8 ohms and doubles down. It has no trouble driving my Thiel CS 5's that go below 2 ohms.I am listening to "Joe P... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi All, This may be a dumb question based on earlier responses to my post about treble glare at high volumes. Is it possible to improve the treble sound by using an amplifier that stays in Class A longer?My Coda CS stays in Class A for the firs... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks for the good ideas. I do not think the length of my hookups is an issue. My speaker cables (thicker than lamp cord) are only about seven feet on a side. All of my interconnects are three or four feet long. Tomtheil and Brayeagle's interconn... | |
| Thiel Owners tomthiel, I appreciate the advice, well not all of it.....the ceiling mirror thing.......:-)!If I really think about it, it may be that the recordings are the problem. I am listening to some Chet Baker right now and I can play it as loud as I want... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi,I am looking for some advice about the weak link in my system...My room is 18 by 34 with room treatments on the front wall. Due to room logistics, my Thiel CS5's sit out from the front wall about 4 feet with 3 feet on one sidewall and 7 feet on... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Hi Whitecamaross,This is an amazing thread. It has taken me about three weeks to work my way through it.While I do not wish to steal your thread and am not in your league price wise, I was hoping for the benefit of your experience. And anyone else... | |
| What is the most important component in your system. Hi, For me, it has been maintaining the patience to try to hear a component before buying it.This has led me to Thiel CS5's from Maggie 3.6's, Dialogue Premium preamp from W4S STP, and Hegel HD25 DAC from Oppo 105 from Audiospace CD8.My upgrades h... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi Tom, Thanks for the reply. Gives me some hope I have nothing to worry about with the caps.Dsper | |
| Thiel Owners Hi,I am listening to "Gerry Mulligan meets Ben Webster" on Verve right now.Hegel HD 25 DAC, AudioSpace CD8 as transport, Prima Luna Dialogue Premium, Coda CS, and Thiel CS5's.It sounds very good to me but I am wondering about the age of the Thiels... | |
| Like the new look to audiogon ? I emailed Audiogon privately as well and their responses seem to indicate that they are getting the message.It would be interesting to know who put the proverbial bug in their ear to change it in the first place. | |
| Like the new look to audiogon ? One more vote that the new format/layout is lousy for browsing. Inefficient as it takes more time to scroll through listings.We used to be able to organize by date, dollars or alphabetically. Now what? Lot easier to shop on US Audio Mart.Oh yeah, ... | |
| Pass Labs vs Mark Levinson vs Parasound - best 2 channel amp used under $2,500? HI,If you are thinking about Parasound and Pass you need to consider Coda. Dsper |
