Thiel Owners

Thank you jon-5912 and brayeagle 

I feel relieved and I to have only heard it with the test CD .

I'll be running it again next week when I replace 
the recitifiers on the amp that are faster and have a softer recovery  .



 

1:04 on the Ayre IBE long glide tone is ~28 Hz. Charles Hansen posted the formula on audioasylum.

What caps did you replace? In the 2.7s?

Wow Thanks beetlemania

None yet , that project will begin right after New Year .
Still working on the amp , 32 caps and 3 resistors 
with 2 resistors and 4 recitifiers going in next week end 
leaving just 10 more caps and 8 resistors to go .
I doing this in small groups to see how they affect the sound 
and control any problems .
I've been using Hovland and Nichicon caps 
but for the speakers I think I'll use Jupitor CU caps .

I’m still confused as to what you did when you experienced the resonance.

Ayre recommends playing the IBE at “moderate” levels which I interpret as less than typical SPL for music.

When I did my XO rebuild, I searched for cabinet modes with steady tones (ie, not IBE). At higher SPLs, there were many frequencies that caused distressing distortions. I never determined the cause - amp or speaker - but immediately stopped that exploration!

Thank G*d, actual music sounds sublime!

Jupiter copper is supposed to sound superb. i considered those as bypasses. Of course, you can’t do the whole board with those even if you have unlimited budget (and space). Jupiter Cu capacitance is nowhere near the values on a Thiel XO.
