Thiel Owners

Jafant,

im glad to see another member running BAT pre with SS amp on the Thiels. I run a BAT VK3ix pre with a Parasound A21. I know that the Parasound isn't a fancy hi end name, but man this thing drives the speakers with ease without any obvious tonal issues. 

I went through a few amps to arrive at the Parasound and it will be the next piece I may upgrade. All I know is that combined with my VPI Prime is does make some amazing sound. 

Good to see you again- last_lemming,

I will concur w/ you on the Parasound. These amps are very much relevant in Audio circles under the helm of John Curl.

I particularly, enjoy his older "HCA" series. Very powerful, robust SS designs.  The newest integrated in on my must demo list for all of the praise it receives in the press.

It is good to learn that B.A.T. is a sonic match w/ both PL and Parasound!

Most important of all- which brand(s) of cabling are you using?

Happy Listening!

Jafant,

i use Purist Audio Design, Venustas Rev1 for the speaker cable, Venustas Rev 1 for the phono cable and Cardas Clear Light balanced cables for everything else.
