Thiel Owners

@silvanik My floor is a wooden floor and my system sits on a thick acoustic carpet.

I have tried the Gaia carpet discs and it didn'd do it for me, sound was very thin.

Like @dickieboy this is also my experience i have found that 60w Jadis class A PP tube did sound much better than 300w class A/B Gryphon SS on my CS 3.7s

I'm actually considering selling my Vitus amp for pure tube Jadis goodness.

Welcome! Good to see you here. Thank you for chiming in to address loudspeaker 3.5- this is  the Top favorite among fans and owners on The Panel.  What other gear is in your System? 

Happy Listening!

Thank You for the Jadis vs. Vitus Audio comparison. Good to your experience.

The Gryphon is well-liked among The Panel as well.

Happy Listening!

@unsound ​​​​thanks for that info! That narrows down the selection of amplifiers somewhat. Based on those numbers, I ordered a PS Audio GCA 250 over to audition, which is supposedly stable down to <1.5 ohm

@jafant , thanks for your input. I don't have any particular hybrid amp in mind. I'm just currently using a set of monoblocks of which the first 5 watts are pure class A. They switch to a/b mode when more watts are required. Sounded great on the 1.2, but seems to lack a bit with the 2.4.

My primary source is a pi2aes streamer into a Schiit Yggdrasil dac through an Audioquest carbon aes/ebu cable. Speaker cables are Kimber 8TC, interconnects are Kimber PBJs. The Schiit dac is very good at separating instruments but a bit forward sounding, so I'm curious to see how it matches the PS Audio GCA, which is supposed to be on the leaner side for a class d design.
