Thiel Owners

@solobone22 - I'd be glad to listen to your test tune; I have a pair of 3.6s in my studio as permanent references. Note that Rob has rebuild kits for that tweeter (CS2.2, 3.6, 5). If it is fried, I suggest sending the whole unit to Rob, because the ferro-fluid can get cooked and thick and need replacement. Extremely low likelihood of XO damage.

Yeah, tbh I was just ready. I could have put more effort in, but I got about a third of the money back for it that I spent on it 20 years ago. It had a good run. Hopefully "they" will fix it up and someone will get some joy out of it.

I don’t know about shorting out the XLR input, and will look into it. I am getting a little hum through my current system when I connect my PC through HDMI. So far, unplugging the PC’s HDMI cable does the trick and the amp goes dead silent.

@tomthiel do you by chance have the Mahler 7 - CSO Abbado on DG?  The track I used was the beginning of mvt 5.  If not I can post a snip of the track for testing purposes.

@therealpupalei what do you think of the PS amp? 

I have a Denon HTR and have hooked it up to my Krell to Thiel setup. This wasn't a good match at all.  The preamp I use now (Levinson 326S) is significantly more expensive however is an excellent match for the system. I've also used the Mytek Brooklyn as preamp/DAC and the MSB Analog as preamp/DAC.  The Levinson gives it more weight with more meat on the bones without interfering with what the 3.6's do so well.

solobone - I do not have that Mahler.
