Thiel Owners

Nice to see you Dave-

Yes! these are very fine CDs and SACDs.  I love collecting these "test" or "demo" discs. Stockfisch, FIM, DMP, Linn, Naim...etc., all have something special to offer the listener.

I want those (3) Accuphase SACD titles from Japan, so far, I have not found an USA seller.

Are you listening to the selections on your Ayre or Sony ES?

Happy Listening!

TY- Dave,

as we both know, careful gear selection and proper cabling, can yield a spooky/realistic system.  IME, this is what our wonderful hobby is all about.

My 1st taste of the prowess of Thiel loudspeakers was in a very simple, cheap in price, 2-channel set-up. NAD 565BEE cd player, an older Creek integrated (4 or 5 series) and Audioquest cabling throughout.
Luckily I had on -hand very familiar music to demo this set.
I was hooked after 1 or 2 songs. Such richness in the music unlike I had never experienced. Even though the Creek was light weight on both power and current, I can only imagine if that company built an amp close to Pass Labs (higher power + higher current).  I can easily live w/ this particular system. It was that synergistic.

I hate the fact that newer NAD and so many other Audio companies choose to source china in the manufacturing.  I do not subscribe nor buy gear (knowingly) made in china.
