Thiel Owners

Happy Listening!

Whoa...been busy as hell here. 

Anyway...

Audio Den carries the full Transparent line but doesn't stock every sku. I had a revelation about two weeks ago regarding the crazy pursuit of this enjoyable hobby. I came to the realization that while it has always been music first, I've been pretty preoccupied with equipment recently. (Say, the last two years.)

So I sez to myself, the hell with all the pieces, the wires, the procedures - lemme get back to listening. So...

I sold the BAT.  I sold the Pass. I sold the CJ. I sold the Theshold.  (Sound familiar, folks?)

Whilst I was at Audio Den checking out the Transparent cables they had a Simaudio Neo 340i integrated on a shelf. 100 watts 8ohm, 200 watts 4ohm and a phono stage and a dac and a bevy of other good things. I first heard this little piece (in comparison to my aforementioned pieces anyway) through a $16k pair of Wilson somethingorothers there and was pretty impressed.  Needless to add my Neo arrives next week. 

I mention all this because all I want to do is listen to my Thiels. Amps, preamps, CD players, servers, dacs have come and gone and no doubt will continue to do so but, these Thiels simply aren't anything I'm willing to sacrifice. 

Unless, of course...another pair arise

You sold the Pass Labs- oblgny?

Which Transparent cabling will you use w/ the Simaudio?

I had to take a moment and compose myself- William.
 I cannot believe that you sold all of that gear?

I will say that Simaudio would be a close second to Pass Labs in solid-state gear at this juncture.  If those Wilson speakers were a floorstander, it was the Sabrina model.  Otherwise, it was the monitor model.
