Thiel Owners

Guys-

I just scored a sweet pair of CS 2.4SE loudspeakers. Anyone else currently or previously owned this model?
Owners of the CS 2.4 or CS 2.7 are free to chime in as well. Thiel are excellent w/ both tubed or solid-state gear!

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

I have a pair if Thiel 2.2. Paired with McCormack DNA 1.0. Oppo 105D Tidal streaming. The SQ is excellent.

In my wire investigations I have learned that 6-9s wire is nearly extinct and even 5-9s is practically unaffordable. As the world changes toward miniaturization, highly complex component circuitry and wireless data and signal transmission, wire is less critical. It seems that some of the best sources (both audio and aerospace) are using 4-9s with careful casting, drawing, gauging and coating technologies. To your question, Thiel maintained a steadfast commitment to using the best wire available
Hi TomI probably already shared this in a PM, but I found the Cardas hookup wire and binding posts to make a really nice improvement in SQ. In fact, I would rank the improvement as tied with the Mills resistors for second biggest improvement after replacing all caps and coils. I hope you are able to audition Cardas as you work on the R upgrades.

That said, my experience aligns with with Prof in that $$$ AC cabling does not yield a corresponding improvement in SQ. As always, YMMV.

Beetle - I took your advice and ordered Cardas internal wire, same as yours. Not yet had the opportunity to compare. Thanks for the nudge.

Good to see you again. We have a few McCormack power amp fans and owners on the Panel. Hope you are well and enjoying Summer.


Happy Listening!

Have fun and enjoy the music.
