Thiel Owners

Yes I did spot those white 3.5 speakers on eBay-William

As I cable guy first and foremost, I venture to say that experimenting w/ cabling is highly advised. One may come across that magical combo that cannot be denied.   Some audiophiles swear by the whole short-vs-long cabling lengths- let your ears be your guide.

How long has it been since you last heard the Goertz Alpha in your system?
Happy Listening!

A pretty good while back. I still have two pairs of shorter Goertz Veracity that I used with my cheap-seats Musical Fidelity monoblocks on my 3.5's. I think I had an ARC linestage back then. Probably. 

I don't remember what the Goertz replaced when I did that, but the difference between
Transparent/Goertz now is VERY obvious, with the Goertz my preference. My 3.6's definitely require a higher listening level than the 3.5's did to shine.  And not by much, either.  The Goertz bring out the detail and "pressure" even at my standard level. THAT's what I was missing initially with the 3.6's. 

The 3.5 and 3.6 are VERY different speakers. As I creep up the Thiel line - money and opportunity permitting - this lesson has taught me well. Sometimes simply maintaining one's previous cables doesn't mean your new speakers will show best.  My appreciation/familiarity with/for Thiel just told me something was slightly amiss with my appreciation for the 3.6. The Goertz seem to have solved this for me. 

Much Thanks! for the follow -up William.
I have been active in these Audio forums since 2001. I have read over thousands of hours as you can imagine. I read about audiophiles using both Goertz and Purist Audio Designs (PAD) concurrently. There seems to be a connection there? I have yet to audition either brand.
Good to read that something as simple as switching a cable or power cord brings about change (for the better) in your system. 
Keep posting listening impressions as you re-acclimate your senses as above.
Happy Listening!
