Thiel Owners

Happy Summer and happy listening to all us Thiel guys. 

The bankruptcy auction got a lot of participation. In addition to Jon's observations, I noted no single big buyer for all those under-priced drivers. It seems that most finished goods sold at pretty significant prices compared to actual cost.

I dropped out of Jim's big Krell amp at $2500 - it sold for $2700 compared to around $3500 on ebay and 'Gon. I bought the Sony SCD-1, so I can play SACDs and CDs in higher style than my Philips CD80. I'll be interested to compare sound quality.

Jon - that stuff is only lost 'till it's found. Still working . . .

Nice score! Shop around on-line for an extra Sled/Spindle mechanism for the Sony ES SCD-1. These are critical parts that will keep the spinner, spinning, for a long time.  Also. Sony's customer service hub is now located in Michigan (888.222.7669).

Happy Listening!

hi tom,  i second Jafants advice.  i had one of those big bad boys,  and they are  finicky and may need servicing someday.  make sure you do not pull a muscle as they are super heavy

Thanks guys. My working assumption is that it needs service and is a candidate for upgrade. Do you guys know anybody who is doing the serious upgrades that were being done awhile back?
