Thiel Owners

TY- thieliste for the kind words.

Patience, makes it all possible. I was fortunate enough to spend 3 months w/ the original CS 2.4 on a related work assignment. Additionally, I spent another 3 months listening to the CS 2.4 SE #50/51 under the same circumstances. Several days per week for the entire 3 months I listened to those models.  That is how I came about my decision to purchase.

The hardest part of the reference equation is solved.  Now, I can focus on the gear that will drive them.  I am in no rush as I accomplish perfection.

Happy Listening!

What do you have on your latest short list in terms of amp-preamp combo for your future reference system ?
I'm also investigating on my side and was able to listen to the Aesthetix combo last week in Lyon, i think that is a serious option for Thiels.
Hybrid solution might be the way to go at least to my taste.
I will investigate on Ypsilon gear also, the Aelius II monos have very good reviews.
Here is some reading if you want to learn about this company : http://www.theaudiobeat.com/visits/ypsilon_interview.htm

Aesthetix is excellent.

I really liked the Calypso Signature pre-amp.  I am leaning heavily to Pass Labs.  The hardest part is wether or not to go w/ a tubed pre-amp (Conrad Johnson, Audio Research or Aesthetix).

where are you located- thieliste?

Happy Listening!

I'm in the south of France Provence area.
