| Thiel Owners Jaw drop. They sounded, thin - almost lifeless. I double checked all the cables on everything. All good. Perhaps the old cables need to be "re-broken in" :-) | |
| Thiel Owners However, the wire itself in the 2.4s is pretty high-end. It is 5-9s, high purity, low oxygen, long crystal, high polish 18 gauge solid in teflon jackets, precision twisted at 2.5 / inch. Hi Tom,I was only joking about the Home Depot stuffs :-) | |
| Thiel Owners I love this thread! Whenever contrasting opinions are expressed (such as on the issue of cables), there is no name-calling or attempts to shout down disagreements. Maybe if we try to discuss about power cables then see if that statement still hol... | |
| Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars? The Pulsar appears to be using the Seas 5.5 magnesium woofer and 1in. Millennium tweeter, both of which are some of the best off-the-shelf drivers in the world. The only woofers that offer better detail than the magnesium are probably Seas new Gra... | |
| Thiel Owners He asked about my cabling and I told him it was standard Belden 10awg etc, and he was like "Wow, your system sure isn’t lacking in detail and amazing sound quality. Sounds like your cables are up to the task." prof,You don't know what's you're ... | |
| Buying Speakers Based on Specs I am willing to bet none of you guys have ever dated Ms. Kate Upton. | |
| Thiel Owners prof,Your taste seems a bit discriminating. Some of the on-line reviews of the D7 have been pretty positive.Here’s a sample of one reivew: Massively detailedExceptional dynamicsPrecise and articulate presentationCohesive soundDeliver a huge sound ... | |
| Thiel Owners It never hurts to demo other brands on the flip-side. I think there was a thread where prof auditioned tons of speakers but he couldn't find a reason to switch. | |
| Thiel Owners Hi prof,I wish I get to audition a pair of Thiel 3.7 someday ... preferably at my home :-) I actually like big speakers. | |
| Thiel Owners I suppose the argument about 1st order vs. higher filter will go on forever. Too bad there are so few (besides Vandersteen I don't know who else) actually make 1st speaker so people don't get to listen and understand the actual sound so they end ... | |
| The new magnificent Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL Preamplifier By the way, does "OTL" on the name mean "output transformer less"? But isn't it true that most tube preamp don't have output transformers on the output? | |
| Bits bits bits from Upscale Audio Excellent post...now duck! LOL Got popcorn lols. | |
| The Physics of Electricity It's like a Toyota vs a Ferrari. They will do grocery shopping just fine, but how you get you there is the difference. | |
| Directional cables - what does that really mean? At least it gives me something to chew on while I am sipping Cabernet Sauvignon lols. | |
| Thiel Owners I even heard this mild hollowing-out interference a bit with the Thiel CS6 when I had it. Not nearly as bad as the Meadowlarks. I was frankly quite surprised when I got the 3.7s as to how this issue seemed totally banished. With both the 3.7s... |
