Thiel Owners

Jafant do you think Nordost cable are good match for Thiels ?

Very nice! thieliste

I look forward in your report on the TB integrated.  Have you heard the DarTzeel ?

Happy Listening!

I am not sure about Nordost being a sonic match for Thiel speakers- thieliste ?

I have not had a demo of proper on this combo.  I will say that most Nordost has a silver aspect to it, based on my CS 2.4se loudspeakers, Silver is not suggested- too revealing or "bright".  I hope if someone out there is using Nordost cabling w/ his Thiel speakers, he will chime in.

I have only heard the Blue Heaven and Red Dawn models on JM Labs and
Pro Ac speakers w/ Naim and Bryston gear. These were different systems, different rooms and different dealers/retailers over the years.

Keep me posted if you get a chance to listen to this combo.
Happy Listening!

Laughing, Jafant...
 
Audio Den is just around the corner from me - literally, a leisurely 15 minute walk from my house when the sun is shining. They became a Transparent retailer last fall. I'll be moving up the line at an equally leisurely pace this year since everything else is in synch. 

I truly haven't reason that makes sense to change a thing at the moment. I spent this weekend listening to Bill Frisell and some other excellent old school jazz and - wow. We got dumped 18" of snow so the opportunity presented itself after much shoveling and rock salt. 

Funny thing is that I just leased a new vehicle on Friday and I have to admit that one of my requirements was that it could accomodate that elusive pair of CS3.6 that I keep looking for. Or another Thiel model.  I'm obviously not done buying stuff, but until another up-the-line model of Thiel comes along - stars and finances in perfect alignment - my 3.5's remain my reference point. 

By the way, in case anyone was interested in learning if one can upgrade a Pass X150.5 to a 150.8, as I inquired with Pass directly, the answer is no. 

According to Pass they are completely different. 

I almost cried. 

But what the hell...that's the only thing that would make me give up my 150.5.
