Thiel Owners

not to mention  the several SA-10 filters for CD/DAC and SACD playback. Crazy options!
I found the Esoteric's CD playback "strange" in comparison to its inherent SACD playback. CD was bad. SACD was excellent.

Another strange twist, the previous 11S2 owner did step up to the dCS Puccini.  The SA-10 would be a very strong contender in this regard.

Happy Listening!

Tom,

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet in this thread, but the buzz is back concerning the youtube documentary:

One Man's Dream - Ken Fritz Documentary

Absolutely insane dedication by a brilliant audiophile to making a massive home system.   He mentions you and Jim several times, saying he did some work for you (Theil cs5 as I remember, baffles?) and that he took your advice for an element of his wall construction.

I don't suppose you've heard Mr. Fritz's system, have you?

Thank You for citing the documentary. I will check it out as well.
I am thinking that there are not many Audiophile documentaries in circulation?

Happy Listening!

Prof - Ken made the production molds for the CS5 marble baffles from my mahogany master pattern. We had built our purpose-built music room at Thiel Audio and I was able to pass on what we had learned and decided. I haven't heard his system, seen his room, nor seen the video. I'll check that out.

Great way to spend an hour on a Sunday morning .
