Thiel Owners

Has anyone tried Paul Speltz's Zero Autoformers to change effective impedance, allowing for the use of lower powered tube amps to pair well (or at least better) with their hard-to-drive Thiel's?

holco - you are welcome to share which capacitors you changed and why and your specific listening experience.

Hi Tom,

I changed the 13uf and 1uf for a Jantzen 10uf Superior Z-Cap + Jantzen 3.9uf Alumen Z-Cap and I changed the 27uf and the 1uf for a Jantzen 18uf Superior Z-Cap + Jantzen 10uf Alumen Z-Cap.

The why is because I wanted to upgrade to the SE version capacitors but the Clarity SA caps are a lower grade than the now used Jantzen caps.

Don't know what you specific mean with listening experience, but I am a audio lover for many years and have build up a nice audio setup.

Br,  Mario
