Thiel Owners

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!

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. 

Good to see you- oblgny

I have seen Audio Den pop up in various discussions in other forums.
The shop seems to have an excellent reputation. Do you know the level
of Transparent Audio products?  Does the store carry all cabling up to Reference Level?  OPUS level?
