Thiel Owners

JA - thanks for the tip. I won't be pursuing it. Bill Thalmann tuned up the old Thiel SCD-1 which had been previously upgraded. It's quite a piece of gear. The SACD head was not salvageable, but I have very little SACD hard media. I'm beginning my investigation into software storage and playback of high resolution media, while avoiding 'normal' computer circuitry. I auditioned iFi's Zen streamer - pretty impressive for the price.

Excellent. The 2000’s decade was special for this Player. There were several companies that offered “mods” and upgrades. Do you know what kind of upgrades were performed on your SCD-1 ?

Happy Listening!

An update on your 3.6 speakers and Wadia 850 player?

Happy Listening!

Tom, I’m sure you’ve detailed this before in the thread but could you remind me: Where does the old Thiel 02 sit in terms of Thiel speaker history?

Presumably there was an 01. What type of speaker was that, did it have much distribution? Is it the first speaker that Thiel sold?

Info about 02 model
