Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4
Drubin,If you have Thiel speakers then you would get the PX02. It is a passive crossover for two channel ($600.00). The PX05 is for five channel.If you do not have Thiel speakers then you will need the Integrator (I believe $5,000.00).David99,I we... 
What do you put underneath floorstanding speakers?
Star Sound Technologies. I tried their Audiopoints first and what a differnce. The soundstage increased in height and depth. I have since then moved up the food chain and purchased their Sistrum Sp-1 to go under my speakers. I have not received th... 
Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4
David99,I did not read anywhere in your thread what sub Thiel had paired with the CS 2.4. Was it the SS2? I have talked to Sheri numerous times and she said it is seamless (no gaps) bass when paired with Thiel speakers. I have the CS 2.4 and the b...

711smilin,Did you get the silver RCA IC from Alex? He said it was better than the Vahalla and I just wanted to hear your opinion.You will be happy to know that I took the plunge and sent a silver Denon 3910 to Alex. He is working on it now but I d...

Jeffreybehr,You can purchase my Mapleshade Samson rack and I won't charge you $2,000.00. What is said below is not directed towards you.Oh, by the way I am selling it because I purchased the Sistrum Sp-101 for my amp and after my 30-day trial peri... 
Sound anchors for Thiel 3.6?
I recently purchased Audiopoints for my Thiels and what a difference they made. Thiels are known for the soundstage they produce, however with the Audiopoints it added more depth and height to the soundstage. The bass became tighter also. Hope thi... 
Parasound - Pass Labs - VTL - Krell Amp Selection
Rooze,If you are looking for a warm sound from a ss then I would seriosly consider auditioning the Plinius SA250 MKII. I am not sure if your speakers can be bi-wired or amped but two of these beauties put out 1000 wpc of class A when switched from... 
McIntosh MC252 with Totem Mani2 / Sig's
Skuras,It seems you are set on getting a mac amp. If that is the case then having the flexibility of a larger amp {402} will allow you not to have to change your amp if you go with a speaker with a heavier load in the future.

What size is your room? Once you determine your sq. footage WxLxH it will help you better decide. The larger the listening area the more it should influence you to a bigger amp. A large open entrance into your listening area will also influence yo... 
Review: Star Sound Technologies Sistrum 101 & Spo1 & SP004 speaker Stand
Warrenh,I talked to a fellow Agoner last week on the phone and he mentioned a friend who had the Star Technology monitors and he said they were absolutely incredible. This says alot to me since he has the Wilson Maxx speakers in his system.I have ... 
Review: Star Sound Technologies Sistrum 101 & Spo1 & SP004 speaker Stand
Musicman159,I am right there with you. The bass is not boomy but precise and tight as you mentioned. What is amazing about the SP-101 is that I already had a setup under my amp. I have the Mapleshades 4" amp stand with heavy footers and triplepoin... 
My Journey to Digital Nirvana Part 1
711smilin,I am interested in your opinion of the volume control on the APL 3910. How would you compare it to that of a good pre amp's volume control? Is it an anolog volume control or digital?I want to thank you and all the other members that have... 
New Pass Labs X.5 series versus previous X series
SigmundHow many hours do you have on your 350.5? I would like to hear what has transpired with the X350.5 since your last post when you first received it. In other words how has the amp improved or not. 
New Pass Labs X.5 series versus previous X series
GuidocoronaOn your last post on 12-4-04 you encouraged any with the X350.5 to give their impressions/findings. So I was referring to the X350.5.
