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!

I would like to see you revive your SCD-1 player. It is quite nice to have a dedicated CD and SACD player.  Hope that you are well and looking forward to the fast-approaching holiday season.

Happy Listening!

@jafant  Are you considering any streaming device for Qobuz or Tidal in the future or are you going to stick to your Accuphase CD player ?

jafant - I bought the SCD-1 because it is an iconic product, it had been Thiel Audio's, and it had been upgraded. The few discs I heard on it were wonderous. I'll keep it until I get PS Audio's new PerfectWave player early 2021 and ascertain it does everything I need. The Sony machine is devoid of soft source inputs, which are becoming commonplace these days.

@tomthiel, while I truly appreciate many of PS Audio's approaches to their DACs, like the use of updateable FPGA's and I2S connections, some of there digital products measurements can give cause to pause.:
