Thiel Owners

Thanks for the added info, Tom. I will wait to see what Rob Gillum offers. I don't have time to pursue this now, anyhow. Just toying with the idea. If Mr. Gillum doesn't offer a DIY kit, I will probably start with the woofer feed given that my 2.4SEs already have Clarity Caps on the coax.

I have seen people "upgrade" Thiel hookup wire. I don't buy it. Thiel (lexington) hookup wire is 99.9999%, long crystal, teflon jacket, 3 twists per inch. I've never heard or measured better from any boutique / branded wire.

I trust your experience but I think I would at least try Cardas if I had the time and money.

I believe that at least for some of the older models; Thiel used hookup wire sourced from Straightwire. The Straightwire talent of that time have since moved on to Wireworld.

Yes, the hookup wire came from Straightwire, which is a price / purchasing convenience. The relevant particulars include the wire, the jacket and the twist, which trumps the source.

^Agreed! It just seemed that the previous poster was enamoured by the “Cardas” branding.

Not anymore than I'm enamored by Thiel! Cardas cables sound terrific and many manufacturers with great sounding products use Cardas wire. YMMV.
