| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? IMHO: expensive, heavy, inefficient, large,not ideally suited to sub 4 Ohm loads, added cost, light distracting, extra parts meters, (which again IMHO) I don't have confidence in the accuracy of, confusing power specs, leaning on the warm side of ... | |
| Thiel Owners @tmsrdg, It was a long time ago, but when I lived in NYC one my favorite dealers carried amongst others both Spectral and Thiel. They often rotated both in and out. I think this was up to the 2 2’s and 5’s time period, but pre co-ax. My recollecti... | |
| Thiel Owners Some Bryston’s are compatible with some Thiel’s. | |
| Pass labs xa25 amp and BW 804 d3? I'd be wary of taking too much stock on the built in meters on amps. It seems to me that most are at best a rough guide and not to be confused with calibrated laboratory test equipment. | |

| Threshold verse Pass Labs how can I justify significant price difference I’ve heard both. Both similar and different. Neither necessarily better. YMMV. | |
| Threshold verse Pass Labs how can I justify significant price difference ^FWIW, I prefer the looks of the S 500 without the distracting glowing meters of the Pass Labs. | |
| Threshold verse Pass Labs how can I justify significant price difference Nelson Pass seems to suggest prolonged "Class A bias" as a positive attribute. FWIW, the Threshold S Series amps were said to be "Class A biased" to 20 % of it's rated full 8 Ohm output per channel. That would suggest that your S 500's has a "Cla... | |
| Dust cap pushed in by kiddos... best home remedy? Vacuum cleaners might be too vigorous and detach the voice coil. I suggest using an appropriately sized cardboard insert from paper towel, etc. and your mouth. Gently suck in until corrected. | |

| Thiel Owners Jafant, since you brought up these "rules of engagement" I believe it behooves you to support the existence of them. | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant, please direct me to these “rules of engagement”. | |
| Thiel Owners Was someone's feelings hurt? It seems as though more posts have been deleted. If that's the way this thread is going to go, I'm not sure I can continue here with that type of censorship. We have already lost valuable contributors here for the same... |
