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!

You’re pretty much smack dab in the heart of central
Nassau County’s major shopping district.  Back in the day, within walking distance of where you’re working, there was Audio Exchange in the mall, a Crazy Eddie about three miles east of you, and a Rabson’s Audio as well if I’m not mistaken. 


And by the way, thanks for helping us “Lawnguylanders” out in the thick of all this. Much appreciated.  (The quotes kind of lend you some idea of how some of us speak. Or tawk, in case you haven’t put your finger on it.)


Under different circumstances you could easily walk to a couple of decent Portuguese restaurants nearby that I’ve been to meself. There’s also any number of decent pubs within minutes of where you are. I grew up in Long Beach -about 10 or so miles south of your current location. 

NYC is a 30 minute train ride west from Mineola, but unfortunately all the audio stores ain’t open. Yet. Ain’t much open ‘round those parts or my parts, for that matter. 

I’ve been consuming the hours by drawing, and listening to Qobuz like it’s going outta business. One of the coolest things about Qobuz is diving deep into the labels. (Each release contains the label info and once you click you’re in the catalogue.)  Kind of a trip down memory lane for those of us who could tell that Capitol vinyl had those orange/yellow swirls in the center. While they are a few things to nitpick about a few quirks in Qobuz, it by far exceeds iTunes. It stacks up pretty damn well in comparison to Tidal as well. 

I still have the Belles 250i integrated...
Didn't know you guys were islanders.  I'm up in CT. Would love to meet up when things clear up, lol.  I've never really been to Long Island other than Fischers island via boats and JFK, lol.

I usually dislike the NYC dealers as everyone has been kind of a dick to me.  

My buddy Johnny Rutan (Audio Connection) sells the Belles.  I love the line.  The new Aries Integrated is one of the great buys in all of audio.  David knows what he's doing.  I can easily see an amp like that on a Theil.  That would be a good match I assume.
Tom Tweak - these leads are new to me, and fascinating. They are working with ideas like mine, mine being those of an interested, intuitive amateur. So, what can you tell us about your 'energy room'? Sounds fascinating.

Always good to see you here my Brother. Yes, this little section of the Long Island City has been very kind to us.  Slowly but surely the local bars and eateries are opening, certainly during lunch hour into the early evening.  Not sure about late evening?

Agreed, I was informed about the shopping malls- makes sense as L.I. has quite the real estate for it.

I will contact you very soon. Is Audio Den open for auditions?

Happy Listening!
