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!

Much Thanks! I only have 3 of those blocks currently. I suspect a Triangle pattern under the gear?
Happy Listening!
Yes, @jafant. The protocol is three blocks under your DX-5 (and other electronics).

Thank You- I can see Jenga pieces fitting as well. Let me know which product(s) tested and works well.
Happy Listening!

I have my wires taped to the sides of Cardas speaker wire blocks ,
which are 2" wide and then crossing in-between each spacing with them being seperated about  1/2" apart at the crossing .
I did this so they aren't parallel possiblity reducing the possibilty of becoming a radio antenna .

I read the posts from your link , very interesting ,
but then again the whole issue of 
cable designs are very complex with no rights or wrongs ,
just differences with the end result and our own listening preferences and of course how deep are our pockets .

The issue of frequency range and hearing is hard to explain in the audio world of listening , how much do the frequency ranges that we can't hear ( for me it's over 9,000hz and under 50hz ) affect the 
qualities of space, dimension , width , height , 3D imagery that we listen for but tecnically can not measure ? 


My reason to make my own cables was to try a theory about the Cardas design ( and because I couldn't afford to move up ) ,  
which sounds better ?  2 wires of 11.5awg together equaling 8.5awg
( Neutral Reference ) or 1 wire of 9.5awg with the outer layer of wires being 1.6 times thicker ( Cardas golden Ration )  than the layer beneath it. 
I feel ( hear )  the home made cables sounded better !
Raising  new questions , was it the increased size of the outer wire in the design ( since it is one awg smaller than before ) or was it because of seperating the positive/negative current flow ? or a combination of both? 






As for bi-wiring, I know there are different opinions on the topic.  For me here the order in term of improvement:

1. Single run but larger gauge wire
2. Smaller gauge wire but bi-wire
3. By amp

For me, going from 1 to 3, the most difference was in the soundstage focus, in which the images are easier to see.

There are those who think the improvement of bi-wire comes mainly from the overall larger combined gauge, but personally I see the advantage comes from the bi-wiring itself.
