| Thiel Owners How did you seal the new wire at the hole where it enters the coax chamber? That would be a challenge since I assume the coax chamber has to be sealed from the bass compartment. If there is any leakage, it will affect the sound of the coax dri... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi holco,Very nice job. I am curious that if you had to remove the woofer and mid/tweeter from the front baffle in order to connect the new wire? | |
| Thiel Owners As we speak, I am now working on the internal Supra wirering with grounding, hopefully with a positive result. I am curious what type of Supra cables you plan to use? I bought them from Madisound which has reasonably good price. They are ava... | |
| Thiel Owners I've gone thru a few really good amps over the years and felt something was always lacking I am not sure there is a perfect component. You could spend a lot of money on something but it won't be perfect. Every design is a compromise. I like ... | |
| Thiel Owners Good thing. Between early reconnaissance, replacing the resistors, and the more recent work I’ve probably taken the radiators off 20+ times. There is a trick to it. Elsewhere I posted instructions from Rob Gillum. Thanks. That makes me feel much... | |
| Thiel Owners For the passive radiator, how solid are the threads on the screws? How many times do you think they can be removed? Ideally I guess you only need to remove only once but it would be nice to have a bit of margin in case of errors. | |
| Thiel Owners Maybe CS2.4TB for Tom’s Bliss How about CS2.5? | |
| Thiel Owners In term of low frequency measurement, please be careful with room affect. Based on the plot above, it shows that at 30Hz, the energy is the same as at 1KHz which does not seem to be right. The energy of the speaker should be down quite a bit at ... | |
| Thiel Owners Andy - thanks for the clarification. The C is for Copper in CSA and the CSA is reported to be a big step better than the SA. One day I will directly compare the SAs from the 2.4SE with the new CSAs. Hi Tom,It will be interesting as what is the di... | |
| Thiel Owners Andy - would you please clarify which ClarityCap you are referencing? The CSA has the copper ends. Hi Tom,Sorry, I got confused with all the acronym. The Clarity cap I used was "SA" and not "CSA". So I the Clarity cap that I used did not hav... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi andy2, what is your opinion on the 1uF foil caps (C2 and C7), why JT omitted it in the SE crossover? Before answering your question, let me just take a moment discussing the physics behind capacitor and inductor. Think of them as the ying an... | |
| Thiel Owners have you compared Clarity, Mundorf, and Jantzen (or others)? Which ones? I have used the Clarity CSA (the older version, not the latest one with their newer Copper Technology), Mundorf Supreme cap, and Jantzen Z-Silver.The CSA is OK I think but... | |
| Thiel Owners I would like to make a correction from my post above. 3. Cap C6 & C7 may not be critical. They along with inductor L2 form a notch filter at around 2.5KHz and most of the time, there is no current through them. R4 is actuall more critical (... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel This threadhttps://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/thiel-cs2-4-upgrade-to-cs-2-4-se Thanks beetlemania for the pic. Based on the pic, I drew up the schematic and I would like to make a few comments. Since this forum does not allow po... | |
| Thiel cs2.4 upgrade to cs 2.4 se The degradation of the low-end is not something I experienced, I would even say that for the modification the low/mid was leading at the mid/high and there is now a better balance. It's possible that the mod may have lifted mid a bit so relativ... |
