| Thiel Owners jafantWhen I ought my 3.5s from Don, I was using a HH Scott preamp and a Scott power amplifier I had built from kits in 1961. I’d been using a series of bookshelf speakers - - ending up with my wife’s pair of AR3a speakers. We had recently moved i... | |
| Thiel Owners jafantI'll second your comment on the Listening Room. That's where I got my 3.5s some years ago. | |

| Good CD player vs. Transport and DAC twolefttearsGotta' agree!I've gone from 78 RCA Victor Red Seals to 45s, to LPs, to R2R ,and finally to CDs. I've auditioned - - and been through - - quite a few CD spinners, looking for one that lets me really enjoy my RedBook collection, IMO, th... | |
| Good CD player vs. Transport and DAC Just as an aside, in one room,I have a Bryston BDA-3 DAC and use a Cambridge CD transport to feed my preamp/mp/speaker system.In another room, I use a Bryston BCD-3 CD spinner to feed my primary two-channel stereo system. Both are for RedBook CDs ... |
