| Levinson 27.5 to 335 Case closed. I'm buying the 335. The sound stage was amazing both in terms of height and depth. The additional power/current also seemed to enable the Thiels to sound better at lower volumes. The 27.5 seem to need to be driven before my system wok... | |
| Levinson 27.5 to 335 Thanks for everyone's input. I finally got the beast into my basement and it is warming up right now. Tonight I will take it for a test drive.As far as service goes, my dealer still services ML equipment, so I am not worried about that aspect. I a... | |
| Levinson 27.5 to 335 Thanks ST01. The 3.6s are a beast to drive. Did the 331 hold up ok? | |
| Thiel 7.2 and the 3.7 Yeah. I think so. Finally. It sounds like they had some driver mfg. problems initially. It seems like they go through this ever time. Maybe Jim Thiel should start to take these things into account before announcing time frames on delivery. Seems l... | |
| Thiel 7.2 and the 3.7 I demoed the 3.7's last night. The problem is that they were not broken in, they only had 25 hours on them. Anyone who has owned Thiels knows that 25 hours in nowhere near enough time. My initial impression is that the sound stage was HUGE. They w... | |
| interconnect for Mark Levinson 332 I use Kimber Selects on my ML equipment. Try a used pair of 1011's. There are other good cables like Transparent, but they they would be over $500. | |
| Comparison between Thiel 3.6 and 2.4 I feel your decision on which one to get needs to start with the size room you plan to put them in. Both the 3.6 and 2.4 like to be spread wide, pointed straight ahead, not near any walls, and with the listener at least 8 feet away for the 2.4, an... | |
| Cable isolators ??? Very interesting advice. Thanks. I guess I was under the assumption that because cable isolators were ceramic, that the problem was due to static electricity (hum) more than vibration. Great ideas. Thanks. | |
| Eggleston Works Fontaine II I have heard these driven my Levinson Amps (33H) and an Ayre CD player. They sounded wonderful, relaxed and something you could listen to for hours on end. My only slight dissapointment is that for the money I would expect better low end extension... | |
| Richard Gray's 400 Pro = Emperor's New Clothes?? What is the differnce between the RG400 MKII and the Pro? | |
| Levinson 37 vrs. Proceed CDD Which is better? I have a 36S and test drove a Proceed CDD before trying out a 37. I have to say the 37 was better. Not a difference between night and day, but defintely noticable. The 37 was more liquid and lifelike. The CDD was a little dry for my taste. The dig... | |
| Best Digital Cable, Regardless of Price.... The two best Digital ICs I have tried in my system are the Transparent Reference AES/EBU and the Kimber 2120 AES/EBU. | |
| Bang For Your Buck Best Value CD Transport I have always felt that the Theta Data Basic II transport was a great value. I think used they are going for about $600. Has both SPIDF and AES/EBU outputs. | |
| Thiel 7.2 vs Wilson Sophia I have spent some time with both, and this is a no-lose situation. The 7.2 will defintely have better low frequency extension, be harder to drive (consider monoblocks here), will be more sensitive to upstream components and require a large room. T... | |
| Transport/Dac 101 A good transport is just as important (and some feel even more important) as a DAC. All transports can read a CD with 100% accuracy, but only a good one will ensure the accurate timing of sending those bits to the DAC (jitter). I had a MSB Link DA... |
