Thiel Owners

Thanks for thinking about it beetlemania

I plan on taking the passive radiator out , play the EBI cd
and feel around inside to see what is vibrating .

since I don't have the outrigger support I go directly into the speaker
like the original rounded spikes , I use the original nuts to level and tighten .

I have been looking into binding posts and it seems that
Cardas might be the only maker of long posts .

I’m very happy with the Cardas binding posts even if it’s tough to get a good mechanical connection. Tom had me strive for that standard wherever possible. A couple of other places I had trouble: 1) connections on XO boards where multiple coils, resistors, and caps come together (especially joining the Litz wire to the bundle), and 2) connection to driver posts, all the more so with the Litz (but even the OEM solid core was pretty much a solder connection there).

Hi beetlemania,

Does it mean you also did swap out the stock internal xover wires?

Thank You for the SCD-1 update. Watch eBay weekly for Sony ES parts, especially, the SCD-1 player. Hope you can return health to your spinner.

Happy Listening!

The only remaining OEM are the drivers and cabinets. If I had Lexington rather than FST boards, I would have salvaged a few coils and, maybe, bypass caps.
