Thiel Owners

Donzi...

Jafant here is a vocal proponent of finding the correct cabling for our equipment. Until I began membership here I had a snake pit collection of various brands that I gave little thought to overall. 

It's difficult for me to acknowledge that I've been a member here for only three years - and I mean that in a good way. Since joining this community my system has improved far beyond what it once was.

When I snared my first pair of 3.5's I was using what I would now term Radio Shack 12 gauge wire from a spool, and yet the Thiels literally "wowed" me upon first listen. One of the first "high end" speaker cables I purchased were entry level Anti-Cables from Mr. Speltz. I still have two pairs of different lengths due to changes in my audio stands, both Salamander. 

Currently I have Transparent cabling throughout my system.  I'd never before compared brands with across-the-board application since it's rather costly to do so, but it seems to be the only method of fairly reaching an opinion. 

Today, as a result of your post I am going to reacquaint myself with my Anti-Cables speaker connects. From what I recall upon my first experience they made an articulate loudspeaker become even more so. And that's saying a LOT when it comes to my Thiels. 

Excellent exchange of ideas, intel and thoughts about our beloved speakers- unsound and Dave.  I look forward in your continued contributions. Happy Listening!

Oblgny-

most important of all, is that , we have Rob at Thiel in Kentucky to take care of us older crowd and our legacy speakers. Cheers to Rob!
Let's continue to keep him gainfully employed!
Happy Listening!

Good to see you again- Donzi

I can see how a Bryston power amp is a sonic match for Thiel speakers.
After all, these babies crave high current and Bryston can certainly deliver it! 

Tom Evans is heavily favored by many Audiophiles, so it must be an excellent product, I would like a demo myself.

Last, but certainly not in the least is Cabling;
my 1st love in our wonderful hobby- try listening to any rig w/o them!
No, there is zero doubt in my mind that Cabling makes a positive difference!
Odd, funny, thing is that w/ careful selection, anyone can budget their system. My best advice is to get out to the dealers/retailers and listen, listen listen to the various brands.  In this particular thread, there exists a wealth of info by your subscribers.  Thankfully, we all have various spin(s) on the cables/cords in our systems that make life worth living.
Equally important, we do not own identical gear- no fun in that-
Happy Listening!

Much Thanks! for the kind gesture- oblgny

You are absolutely correct by stating that I am the biggest proponent for Cabling!  20 years ago I discovered that aftermarket cabling does make a difference and I was not an Audiophile in those days.

I only provide you guys w/ the brands that I have spent some time (usually 3 months) in various systems at various dealers/retailers over the last 5 years during my business travels.  During these travels, I would visit said shops weekly and listen to the gear for as many hours as necessary.
Luckily, I never had a bad experience. And I can site the dealers/retailers that provided a reference to me.  My permanent locale does not afford me w/ dealers/retailers.  Cities like Atlanta, New Orleans and Nashville are the closest proximity.
