Thiel Owners

Wow - some very informative posts here regarding cables and the CS5's power handling specs. Thanks to all. 

The Son of Ampzilla arrived via UPS too late last night so I couldn't hook it up. According to the seller and fellow member here it was serviced in 2014 and stored since. Typically, it arrived in as-described condition with ample packaging.  Gawd, I do like the people on this site. 

Anyway, my workload today is appreciably lighter than usual except for an appointment with my accountant to file my 2015 returns. No, I am not going to reveal them unless it's sufficient enough to fund a pair of CS5's!  

The GAS will be hooked up tonight. My cabling is all Transparent throughout, my Preamp remains the BAT VK3i. (pictures in the Virtual Systems section here if anyone cares to peruse)

The reason for buying the GAS?  Boredom. I find the Primare A34.2 to be well suited with my CS3.5's, but the GAS was under $400 shipped so...time for 'sperimentin'!

Crank it up folks, Thiels reveal!

Folks...
Regarding "sidetracking" Jafant's intended subject matter - no problemo!  All the new posts pertaining to the possible improvements to be had are always welcome and championed. 

I've learned a lot reading the opinions and suggestions here, Keep 'em coming.  

Agreed All-

keep all discussions here as the intel will benefit the other readers. Chances are, they may want to change out cabling as well. We have an investment going on and wish to extract all of the 1 & 0's out of our music.

Do not forget the dealers/retailers shout-out, especially, the ones w/ plush showrooms/listening spaces to audition gear and cabling!

Thank You- Dave.
where do you purchase your SR cabling? Which shop has the best selection for demo?  Happy Listening!

Thank You- Jon and oblgny for your steadfast contributions.
Happy Listening!
