Thiel Owners

R. I. P.  Chuck Berry...

Upon learning of his passing last night I began rummaging through my cd and vinyl collection in the hope of finding an album of his to spin in tribute. 

It wasn't long before I discovered that I don't own a single recording of his in my collection. 

Then I looked at the hundreds of albums I own again and realized,  oh yes I do. 

Laughing...oblgny

Had been eyeing Wilson Sabrinas for the past year ever since I heard them at CES 2016 but now I'm not so sure.

My Wadia 850CDP recently gave up the ghost and can't be revived anymore :-( so I had to look for a replacement. Settled on a PS Audio PWT and DSJ combo and just got them last Friday. Installed them and WOW!!!!!

Not sure I have heard my 3.6 sound this good! :-D

Current setup:

PWT >HDMI(I2S) > DSJ > MIT interconnect (not sure what model) > ARC LS2B > Cardas Balanced > Classes CA-200 > Purist Elementa > Thiel 3.6

I'm really enjoying my system. Can't wait till the digital front end breaks in :-)

Maybe I'll use the funds for the Sabrina on a new Pass Labs INT250 ;-)

Have a good one!

Good to see you-  jcatral14

I have been reading about Wadia owners not being able to get parts/service for their spinners? This is unacceptable, IMO.  Hope the company goes under soon.

While, I have not spent time w/ Sabrina, I did spend much time w/ the Sophia/Sasha models. Nice speakers that plays well (no pun) w/ tubed and ss gear. Look at the price one must spend, then, one must nail -down the correct gear and cabling (Transparent is the best).

I still preferred the CS 2.4, 2.4SE. 2.7 or 3.7 in Thiel over the Wilson.


Reading over your system- you have an interesting mix of Cabling!

Happy Listening!

Haha yes, interesting mix indeed but it works for me. I do plan to change them up over time and am partial to Cardas for the interconnects but love the Purist for my speaker cabling.

A Wilson may still be in the future for me but not in the immediate one :-)

Best,
