Thiel Owners

No, I don't know. There are many things that would be nice to know, but I wasn't there, Rob doesn't know, Tim Tipton, our purchasing manager who retired around 2005 might know (or have known), but there's no practical way to track that down. Bill T. didn't have much to say except that putting more money into the player with a non-repairable SACD section wasn't advisable. Events recede and memory fades.

I understand. Back in those days many Modders had their own upgrades for Sony ES spinners.  Only a few would place a Seal of Certification on the rear panel. Still, you will want to hold on to this critical piece of Thiel Audio history.  Continue to enjoy CD playback while looking forward on a modern player or transport with SACD capabilities.

Happy Listening! 

Well guys I am selling my 3.6 and classe. I found I was getting the same bass at a better listening level on the pcs vs the louder level needed to achieve this with my 3.6. Along with a soundstage and clarity that’s just as good. Midrange is slightly lacking but I think the trade off is worth it. Until a 3.7 or 7.2 pops up or thiel makes loudspeakers again; I’ll be sticking with my pcs.

Jim thiel pcs is the best bookshelf I’ve heard I think.

These are insane. How do bookshelf speakers sound like floor standing speakers.
