Thiel Owners

fitter468 - I've never actually heard an Ayre piece of gear! But they get rave reviews and user comments.

Which BJs XLRS did you get for what position? I've spent the past month and a half on cable evaluations and would appreciate knowing what you have and where it is in the system.

Tom I bought the Belsen 1800 F  XLR.  I’m using them from the ayre cx7 CD player on the analog side to the back of my proceed  avp. My only other experience is with mit pc squared xlr from my avp to my krell fpb amp and rca from my tuner to the avp. But I really feel the blue jeans cable are a great value and nicely madeI know someone on this thread is a big believer of those  cables.I was using a pioneer CD player to the internal dac of the proceed avp now I’m using the ayre dac the sound is amazing!! Ayre prefers you call them over email they are the type of company whose products I want to own.For the first time I feel like my system is “There” !! Or almost there!!! David

Agreed. AYRE is superb gear- Solid state with a Tubed soul.

Happy Listening!

Hello, everyone, this is a huge discussion and with a lot of great information but because of the number of posts, it is very hard to find a particular topic. Is there a way to search within this discussion? For example, search everything regarding CS2,  woofer repair, etc...

hifi28 - what seems to work best is to ask a specific question for someone who is knowledgeable to answer. Matters of repair and maintenance are best addressed to Rob Gillum at Coherent Source Service.

The CS2 is of historic interest to me, being the first of its series and the highest-count sales of any Thiel product. Its woofer was a Vifa/Seas unit, probably repairable by Rob.
