THAT'S IT!!!
Your statement on Thiel's bass being tonally correct is a descriptive that has eluded me from day one, felt, heard, but never able to put the words together.
I've been in the wine business for 36 years. About 30 years ago we were tasting some 1986 Burgundies, everyone tasting, writing notes, slurping down oysters, discussing each in an open forum. I was something of a newbie then, perhaps six years in the biz. We were on a particularly aggressive label when one of the people put forth a comment regarding its bouquet, stating that it had notes of "sauerkraut". THAT'S IT!!!
For years before that there was that SOMETHING my schnozola was communicating to my brain but my brain couldn't process into words. While I couldn't find the words to describe that, I looked for it in all the white Burgundies I would sample. It wasn't hot-dog sauerkraut, but a wisp note of something elemental in the mix. That too became a reference point for me when tasting/buying white burgundies. I look for it any time I taste Chardonnay, even California ones.
This is waaaaaay beside the point of what this thread/forum has had to offer, but holy shite! That statement of being "tonally" correct was a pleasant revelation for me, as well as one that accurately describes the overall sonics that make Thiel so desirable, and perhaps, offer to those thinking about a pair of legacy models just how damn fine they are.
Sauerkraut for everyone!
