If I may, what was your trade/occupation prior to joining Thiel Audio in th mid-90's ? Once joined with Jim, what was position within Thiel?
Did Jim leave behind any journal(s) of his designs, details, works...etc., regarding those amps / cabling used his lab back in those days? Would Mr. Rob Gillum know?I suspect that kind of information is quite valuable and relevant, even today.Happy Listening!

As above,the XLO test disc is excellent. Also consider the Stereophile series-test CD1, CD2 and CD3 discs.Happy Listening!

You've misunderstood. Tom Thiel *founded* Thiel Audio with brother Jim and Kathy Gornik. Tom left in the mid-90s.

Ah, I see - beetlemania.hope you are well and having fun experimenting w/ those xo.Happy Listening!

In a holding pattern for now. Tom Thiel should get the custom Clarity caps by the end of the month. I do have my Multicaps now but don’t plan to use them until I build the new boards. In the meantime, I hope to identify any substantial cabinet resonances. And I’m enjoying the SEs with the Mills resistors. Probably the most cost-effective tweak I’ve done.
