| Sansui servicing Where do you reside? I have a shop in Douglaston NY who’s worked on my vintage Pioneers and Marantz receivers at very reasonable cost. SG CUSTOM SOUND. Googleable if that’s a word! Good luck. | |
| McIntosh MC 275 Mark VI I too, was an owner of the Mark VI and I liked it for about a month. One day I turned it on and a tube blew out. It was perhaps the third or fourth time I had used it - I still had the box next to my cabinet. I called McIntosh directly and relat... | |
| If cost was no factor, what system would you build as your main audio system? Kinda easy actually...Pass Labs MonoblocksModwright or ARC tube preampThiel LoudspeakersSony Hapz1Es server/streamerClearudio TurntableMaybe too easy but that’s it... | |
| Thiel Owners Tomthiel...Compared to most folks I’d offer that my listening level is VERY conservative 99% of the time. When pressed on occasion to show off how good my Thiels were I could be convinced to crank up the juice but...then I’d immediately direct the... | |
| Thiel Owners I hasten to add that while the addition of Tom’s technical insight to Thiel excellence is equally fascinating and utterly insightful, I am a total ignoramus in this regard. Is it reassuring or disappointing that mere “consumers” can “get it” just ... | |
| Thiel Owners Perhaps a little off subject here but I just stumbled upon a “new” product from McIntosh, the MA252 Hybrid Integrated amplifier. While it has been stated here that some Mc amps limit current - a definite drawback to those of us who’ve owned or ow... | |
| Thiel Owners Cabling is the least “sexy” part of our systems and, only until quite recently, I never gave power cords, interconnects, and speaker cables a helluva lotta thought. When I more or less finished with assembling the various pieces of hardware I’ve o... | |
| Thiel Owners Dinopau...Yes, as I stated it is working. No worries about the site rules, I’ll be glad to give it to you for nothing provided you simply pay shipping/insurance. I’ll find a suitable box and protect it well enough. I’ve seen it listed on other ... | |
| Thiel Owners BASS EQ FOR CS3.5dinopau - where do you live?I have a functional bass equalizer along with a complete pair of innards - crossovers, woofers, tweeters and midranges. The mids do not work. So far as I could tell it worked fine but the mids didn’t.... | |
| Thiel Owners thielrules...I have to say that my lack of enthusiasm with the 3.6 was due more to my high level of anticipating a significant improvement over the 3.5’s sonics which were and remain impressive. I have to admit that I pretty much thought, “wow, a ... | |
| Thiel Owners dancastagna...Right now I’m selling off a pair of Vandy 3A Sigs that I picked up just a few months ago. You can’t go wrong with Vandersteen in general, in many ways they are THIS close to Thiels but...they just ain’t. The bass reproduction strike... | |
| Thiel Owners Yes, it was I who preferred the 3.5 over the 3.6 for a number of quite personal reasons. (Ain’t they all?)Like most folks would logically assume, moving up the Thiel line means mo’ better everything, correct?While there was absolutely nothing to f... | |
| Are you getting ridiculous offers from new members I’ve gotten ridiculously low offers from members WITH 100% positive feedback here so it ain’t just the newbies that are testing the resolve of sellers. Very few of the fellow members with 100% positive feedback here tendered their “offers” through... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? I once owned for quite a long time a pair of Klipsch Epic CF-3’s that, over the years, began to grate on me in terms of the treble from the compression horn tweeter. They were, I think, 103db sensitive so it didn’t take much to drive them and, at... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant...They musta been sold. Just checked. I still have all the guts from that last pair - drivers, crossovers, bass eq. The mids are shot and will require fix. Hmmmm |
