Thiel Owners

Cool history regarding Dave Gordon! I’m an A-hole: my favorite electronics are Ayre, Aesthetix, and ARC.

Add Brinkman to that list and you have zero feedback designs that work BEST with TRUE time and phase correct speakers like Thiel and Vandersteen.  Many speakers will claim they are like Wilson, but only the adjustable Wilson's are time correct, but are in no way phase correct as they claim.

Thank You for another Thiel Audio history lesson. Hope you are well this early Summer day.

Happy Listening!

yesterday's HiFi Chats via YouTube featured Dave Gordon of ARC.

Fast forward to around 30:15 where Dave said "not all USB cables sound the same".  I am sure a lot of people will have issues with that :-)

I can promise you that to MY ears there are differences for sure.  The deal with all digital is that it's so room/house dependent. That's mostly for power cords and conditioners and grounding.  Ethernet and USB do make a noticeable difference to me though.

Dave is a great guy and really knows his stuff.  He's fascinating to talk to.
