Thiel Owners

brayeagle, I hear you on the 2.7s.  I feel very sure I'm never selling mine (or not for a long time).

Why do you suggest I google Geoff Kait?  I'm pretty familiar with our ubiquitous, obstreperous forum member :) 

Very interesting web page

Oh yeah, I've visited it before!

The ongoing mystery has always been if the site is one big troll (not implausible given that seems to be Kait's modus operandi), vs anything serious.  I think the site is mostly a troll, like many of Kait's comments here, though I think he's sometimes serious in his comments on this forum.  He says enough wacky things though, with apparent sincerity, that the line between fiction and honesty with him is hard to discern.

I'm listening to Bill Evans Piano Player after having listened to CD10 of the Bach Recordings box set I got last year.  There's certainly an ember alive here.  I think of high end audio as a sort of musical tourism.  We can hear an incredible variety of music reproduced fantastically well without going anywhere.  It's a luxury that most people don't appreciate.  Based on what I've read, I believe Thiel intended to give people of modest means the ability to experience this.  I appreciate it and enjoy it immensely.

tomthiel..... I would spend so long time reading and knowing more and more about Thiel Audio history, you , Jim and all others actors of this fascinating monument to the music that you was/are, all this being said I try to launch a rock in the water: Tom, why do not write down a book on Thiel Audio..... I would pay any amount for it right now.
I firmly think that you are the best candidate to do this and pretty sure many other fellows here are agree with me.
