Thiel Owners

sdl4 - TPC was normally called Electrolytic Tough Pitch (copper), which is motor / magnet wire. The others are more refined in their impurity, crystal and surface parameters. There is a case to be made that ETP is good enough as long as the other parameters are executed with care. I would have to be convinced due to my personal experience - but it is practically impossible to sort out all the various components of what makes a wire 'better'. My present Iconoclast sample is ETP/TPC.

Hopefully, the excellent XO work per improvedsound can serve as a Blueprint for your XO plan(s) as well.

I hope that you are well this Spring evening.

Happy Listening!

improvedsound - that's a nice piece of work you have done. You capture the Thiel Essence with the sloped, sculpted contours and the elegance of the base.

will post some of what I have learned on this journey through my own experiments and coaching some of you on this forum and behind the curtain. There's plenty of room for improvement, while containing costs is always a desirable constraint. I am pleased that you and some others have invested in upgrading your Thiel loudspeakers.
