Thiel Owners

@beetlemania

Certainly a valid question to ponder, for any small business reliant on the founders combination of drive, passion, technical and innovative chops needed to thrive...

I can assure you that Richard Vandersteen and I have had that exact conversation in some detail / I consider him a friend, peer and also a mentor in many things. His is a family business with son and daughter playing important roles. Nathan was the innovator behind subtle but effective innovation in the model 7 mk2. While I enjoy them immensely, I don’t expect them to be the end of the line.

i spent a career in high technology manufacturing and program management, always willing to help small firms in any way I can. All the best!

When the world turns dark
And the heart turns cold
And beauty turns to me
That's when I turn cold.

OK, what's the hell is that?  I think I just need more beers :-)

jafant,
Thanks! Thiel SNs are 977, 978. Running a B&K EX-442 power amp and PS Audio  preamp. Looking at going to Moon 340i and Aurender A10.

Thank You for the S/N.  Simaudio Moon is a sonic match, double check the power rating for CS2 for best outcome.  Several owners of the 600i/700i models.  Keep me posted on your purchase decision.
Happy Listening!

Altx - your CS2s are early..  You might consider talking with Rob Gillum at Coherent Source Service about an update that addressed the upper midrange. CS2 was most popular model ever.
