Thiel Owners

jafant,

I am impressed by your patience in your search for the best cables for your system. As I face my rapidly advancing years, I am finding myself becoming less and less patient in making decisions about my audio gear. I've come to realize that researching gear online is a lot less rewarding than listening to new gear at home, so I'm making faster and more quickly researched decisions. Lately, I've been upgrading my streaming gear, and the music keeps sounding better with each new change. Fortunately, my Thiel 2.2s have welcomed each upgrade and are not holding back my system in any way.

sdl4 - The 2.2s are quite good, aren't they? And they're highly upgradable with better XO components and related goodies - when the time comes.

Regarding cable, I have rotated a dozen or so interconnects and speaker cables through my setup over the past couple years to reference my ears in my room and system. My favorite is Morrow. You might consider it, with their generous take-back trial deal.

Cabling wise I enjoy the AudioQuest I got which where 600 dollars. I feel they give the thiels a natural smooth timbre. At some point I will get synergistic audio cables though.

I believe in careful yet prudent calculations when building a reference system. I do not care to have cabling sourced to china in my system.
This has been quite an exercise because too many U.S. companies are cutting corners.  Nordost and Synergistic Research,  are noted for not sourcing to china, I have inquired each of these manufacturers.

Happy Listening!
