Thiel Owners

Nuttin' yet...

The eq I bought in haste off of eBay is the wrong one.  I'm watching the other one linked here now. 

<---is an idiot.  Aaaargh. 

C'est la vie. 

PS:  this Khozmo passive pre with the PL X150.5 does have some serious merits. I keep mentioning "articulate" when I espouse Thiel and/or Pass in general, and after having the Khozmo in line all week that aspect of both is affirmed.  I switched my cables to anti-cable level ones all around which haven't quite asserted themselves yet. 

The Pass sounds noticeably better with at least 30 minutes of warm-in,  and I've yet to make the meter wiggle but a hair, so I'm in class A all the time methinks. 

Articulate. Linear. Clean. At modest to moderate levels everything is simply there. 

It has taken me a long time to get to this spot and I am truly pleased as all hell.  Once I find out if the Thiel eq modification will be do-able per unsound's suggestion, I'll consider myself done. 

Well, except for cabling of course. 

Enjoy the upcoming holiday weekend!

dlcockrum...

I'll turn 60 before the end of this year so the prospect of switching out 60-75 pound amplifiers or even heavier speakers on the timetable I have been using has gotta stop!

unsound's suggestion regarding mono-modding the eq's for my 3.5's is a much physically easier upgrade path for me - as are jafant's cabling posts.  
 
My choice of amplifiers IS done. Speakers?  I most definitely would consider moving up to CS 3.6's if any become available. I would have bought a pair of CS7's listed here for $1750 but the gent wouldn't ship them. Anyone in Florida reading?  The listing ended but...hoping he'll re-list. If yer down there scarf them up!

oblgny,  Let me guess; you bought an eq for Thiel 3's instead of 3.5's? The 3.5's eq was a nice upgrade over the 3's eq. I have admit, considering how the eq works, the bi-wireable binding posts on the 3's  would appear to be a good option with eq. On the other hand, Audiogon member Lrsky, who used to work at Thiel around that time has claimed that the eq works beyond the bass spectrum, which would negate that consideration. While I don't doubt the sincerity of his assertion, I haven't seen anything that would confirm it.
 Have you reached out to Pass Labs or Thiel yet?
