Thiel Owners

jafant,

How are your CS 2.4SE's sounding?

What is your amp/source?  Do you use a digital source or vinyl (or both?)

My Thiels have sounded awesome with digital (streamed from a Raspberry Pi server), but adding a great turntable and buying new records took it to a whole new level of fun.

Thanks.

That would be my last post on the topic of cable burn in.  Prof can sleep well now :-)

I have a Bryston 4B3 and BP-17(3) demo in a few weeks. I have had several Bryston 4B-SST, SST2 and BP-26 audtions in the past. Really looking forward to the new cubed series audition.   Stay tuned.

Happy Listening!

I'll be interested of your impressions on any significant differences between the BP-26 and the BP-17c in  high frequency reproduction..

tomthiel ,
Nice observation re spruce soundboards. Although I've pretty much retired from "the scene," I spent many years as a professional classical guitarist. My instrument has a Sitka top. If left unplayed for any longish interval, it sounds terrible at first, and takes days to open up. But open up it does. It is an enormous difference. That's why I choose spruce and not cedar. Cedar tops have a more colored sound, loose vitality as they age, etc. But this is just like my system with the 3.7s. Sounds small and uninviting if not played in a while, but after some hours back in play -- whoa!
