Thiel Owners

Hey jafant. Still running much of the same gear. Accuphase A50 for amplification, Ayre P5xe phono pre, and a VPI Aries/Ayre qb9 on the front end. Upgraded the Aries with a new fatboy tonearm and an Airtight PC7. It works for me :)

Thank You for the update.  How do you like the synergy between Accuphase and Ayre?  

Happy Listening!

If i ever decide to get a pair of 3.7s again i'll most likely try to find a demo Dagostino Momentum S250 stereo amp to drive them.

jafant - they work quite well together. Ayre’s output was measured by Stereophile at 150 ohms (balanced), whereas the Accuphase has a balanced input of 40k. The Ayre was much lower than the Cary, which tested higher than the specs showed (again according to Stereophile). 

Hi Tom Thiel.  Thanks for your insight on the 3.6.   Btw, I lived in Lexington in the early 80’s on Georgetown Road a couple of miles from the Horse Park.  Nice living and beautiful country.  
Lived across the street from a horse farm no surprise.  I still have an 8 mm film of Secretariat running towards us while visiting Calumet Farms one day. He came right up to the fence for a nice rub.  We were in shock that he was so accessible!
