| Thiel CS2.3 vs 2.4 -- my 2 cents Thanks sdecker, that was interesting...well done. I have 3.6's and enjoy them thoroughly. I'm thinking about moving up to the CS6 soon although I haven't had the pleasure of hearing them. Anyone know the difference between the 3.6 and CS6? | |

| Joy of cleaning connections with Caig Labs R5 It is a hassle but I just cleaned my connections on my directv dish - all of the ones outside. I used a cheap one from Radio Shack. It made a pretty big difference on the picture and sound of my Pioneer Elite TV. In fact, I've had to recalibrate i... | |
| Thiel 3.6's - Stereophile measurements Hi Bill,I still have the 3.6's, very happy but would love to move up to 6's. I would be curious about the same thing you mentioned - I keep thinking an upgrade to the 3.6 should be coming soon, that's really what I'm waiting on. Happy Holidays. Jerry | |
| Thiel 3.6's - Stereophile measurements Hi bill, I know you have said your system leans towards the bright side, we have similar systems including thiel 3.6, one difference is my preamp is a CJ premier 14 and I can't recall yours. Our cables are almost identical, I have MIT reference IC... | |
| Thiel 3.6's - Stereophile measurements Measure the actual difference from speaker to your head, a triangle - some people make the mistake of measuring from the center of the 2 speakers - 10 to 11 ft measured this way works best in my room. | |
| Plinius warm-up What do you do if you have a tube preamp - I just can't let tubes burn for no reason - a tubed pre has to be turned on and stable before turning on the amp - right? | |
| High Definition? Thanks for all the advice - it's either comcast or Directv which I already subscribe to. I live in a valley and OTA might not be an option. Does directv offer HD with the networks? | |
| The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now I've been drinking one lately - Wild Horse Pinot Noir from the Central Coast - not cheap about $20 but with really good Cab's priced out o sight it's a bargain - and good! | |

| POLK SDA series I still have the 2.3tl's on a second HT rig. They were always a little on the aggressive side - but could play loud. I used tubes in the preamp - that calmed them a little. | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Thats right CLbeanz, Baker's is from Baker Beam who is Jim Beam's grand nephew and the secret is the yeast used - been alive for over 50 years. If you like full bodied spirits like cognac with a really long finish on the palate, you'll like Bakers... | |
| Considering thiel 3.6 but need feedback I have these speakers, they are excellent but they need room to really shine. They need at least 8 feet between them, at least 3 feet from sidewalls and the further you can get them from the front wall the better. Now that is the optimum setup, mo... | |
| Calling Thiel owners please... Cool, thanks Tom. Tim, I think your right, I knew something was wobbly - I think it was me! If your drinking Booker's, that's Jim Beam's grand-dad ya know - you da man! | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Ahh, it's the next day now and no hangover - it's a beautiful thing! |
