Thiel Owners

thoft - I'm not an electrician, but do have experience with circuitry and ground loops. I highly recommend you fix your house grounding, not only for the amps but for safety and right functioning of all your gizmos. Electric circuits routinely bleed to ground as part of their design; a significant part of the designer's art revolves around grounding. Additionally, you may be in breach of code and insurance requirements.

Well guys that's it my new system is all set up and burning in, all of the gear is new except the 3.7s obviously.Enjoy : https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/6322

@thoft, the DR version is the predecessor to the slightly different, more recent "regular" non-DR designated follow up.

@thieliste, congratulations! You've had a rather interesting journey leading up to what should be a very nice system indeed. Well done.

You mentioned the coils on the 2.4 not being as tight as original ,
after removing both mid/tweeter crossovers at the same time 
I discovered that one has the original ERSE coil and the other has the newer version ( repair or that's all the new Thiel had on the shelf ? )
which is larger in physical diameter !
Does the larger coiling diameter  offer better cooling ?
Question , both have been unwound about 5 inches to connect to a positive terminal ,  does the unwinding effect the inductor's performance? would it be better to connect a wire from the end of the coil to the positive terminal ?    
Thanks
