| Thiel Owners "esprits4sThank You for your assessment of the XP-10. Which ARC pre-amp did you purchase? "Jafant,It is a Reference 3.-Gary | |
| Most favored hearing aid for audiophiles Bose is coming out with some interesting stuff for hearing aid. Apparently deregulation of hearing aids is coming so there should be a lot of new products and testing methods hitting the market in the coming years. There were a number of hearing... | |
| Thiel Owners I used a XP-10 for several years and really enjoyed it. I only sold it because I got a deal on an Audio Research preamp that I had been eyeing for some time. The ARC pre is different, but not universally better than the XP-10. I used the the XP-... | |
| Thiel Owners I hope that wire choices don't significantly drive up the cost of these upgrades that the team is working on. I won't weigh in on the overall audio cable debate, but transmission line effects are generally not relevant in audio equipment, at leas... | |
| Thiel Owners Thank you Tom! I will give that a try.-Gary | |
| Thiel Owners So, I have the new to me CS5's set up (sort of) in my listening room. Still need to be positioned properly, but I've got to move some gear to make room:). Regardless, they already sound fantastic. I am already feeling better about the speakers ... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom, Thank you for your feedback on CS5's vs. CS7.2's. I very much appreciate your thoughts. FWIW, I ended up buying both pair:) The 7.2's have severely damaged woofers though, so not sure yet what I will do with them if the woofers cannot be ... | |
| Thiel Owners Question for the Thiel owners and enthusiasts here: If you could buy a pair of CS5's or CS7.2's for the same price in similar condition, which would you pick (and why!)? | |
| Any info out there on the Audio Alchemy OM90.1 monoblocks? Yes, I also have their newer DDP-1 preamp which is very nice, especially for the price. I may eventually use the two together in an all AA setup. Currently, I am using the OM90's with an ARC Reference preamp. These amps are from the mid-90’s just... | |
| The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is I think the problem is that peoples' mental self influence is often stronger than their audio memory or discrimination. I feel it myself most times I try out a new piece of audio gear that I've just purchased with the intent to upgrade. Actually... | |
| The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is You guys are somewhat restoring my faith in Audiogon! Good to hear the silent majority (or maybe minority?) who have been beat down in the name of forum decorum whenever discussion of these "tweaks" come up. Free or low cost "tweaks" is one thin... | |
| Tyler Acoustics D20 vs. D1 vs. D10 Hi, Just to follow up on this, I ended up purchasing a set of D10's with powered woofers from Ty. I am very happy with the purchase. They are big, but they do an excellent job of filling my large and far from optimal listening and viewing space wi... | |
| DUNLAVY SC-VI Hi, I have not comment on your question. However, if you decide not to go with the SC-VI, would you be willing to share where they are available? I'd be interested in a pair at the right price.-Gary | |
| Neutral or warm? Which do you prefer? This thread is classic. We can't even agree on the meaning of 'warm' or 'neutral', which are two of the most used audiophile descriptive terms. It's hard to communicate if everything is subjective... | |
| Tyler Acoustics Bump...Again, thanks everyone for the feedback on TA. I'm bumping this because I'd very much value further feedback from those who commented on the rest of my system.-Gary |
