WOW factor

The OPPO 980 h dvd player, totally blows my mind.

Nuforce MCH3SE w/ V2 boards. WOW!!!!!

For me the biggest WOW factor to my ears, heart, bank account, and system was the first time I heard a pr. of Thiel speakers really show there stuff to me. I had heard them off and on for years in different systems, but they really never got my attention.
I ventured into a shop that had a pr. of 2.4s set up with VTL 7.5 preamp, Ayre V-1XE amp, sourced by a VPI HX-R table with Dynavector XV1s cartridge. I bought a pr. of 7.2s without a demo later that week. Going on three years and some frustration, (matching the right amps) I have never even thought about changing speakers.
Anyway now I get to have WOW moments everyday. ;)

Tom Hankins,
Just out of curiousity did you get your source right?
I found that not until I got my source right was when I started to realize the potential of my speakers!
Just IMHO!

I listen to vinyl 99% of the time and it sounds very good. Since owning the Thiels I have found more than ever before how much amp/speaker combo matters. I went through (owned or home auditioned) several very nice amps with the 7.2s. Parasound JC1s, two models from Pass, and Ayre. When The Krells hit, system pretty much complete. I am waiting on a custom made tubed preamp to get here and I really am not wanting for anything else.
