| Why do people buy preamps if they can directly connect amp to stereo source/phone/PC/tv? +1 ebm. spot on Ed! | |
| Does this image give you claustrophobia? Thanks for posting your system georgelowfi, now I know why you are such an expert, in your own mind.... | |
| Does this image give you claustrophobia? teo_audio "This is why it gets ugly. We have to fill in the other 90%. Which we do. Mostly unconsciously."All forms of social media including sites like this one is wrought with selfish negativity, not the majority but a significant amount. T... | |

| Cartridge upgrade Another vote for ortofon cadenza bronze. | |
| Which solid state power house: Naim NAP 500DR or McIntosh MC611? Nice room Jered and exciting times for you picking a system. If it was me I would decide on speakers/amps first and work your way up. Once that combo is picked for synergy there are tons of great preamps to choose from and do not have to be the... | |
| Will the Thiel CS2.4 fit in my car? What???? | |
| My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS) Warning Andy, once you go Thiel you get caught in the web of excellence. Not only will it ruin other speaker brands for you, you will also want more Thiels. 😂. I have 2 pair and wouldn’t hate having a third! | |

| KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4? @audiotroy I bought 3 products from well known industry leading brands from Bill before he retired. This disputes your point above which is obviously exaggerated. | |
| Thiel CS2.4 to what? @audiojan “window into the music” as you describe is spot on! That is one of the addicting qualities of Thiels. Also, I personally would never leave before I maximized all other compenents and cables upstream synergistically.My Thiels have always ... | |
| Thiel CS2.4 to what? I have both 7.2's and 3.6's and the only thing I'd ever think about replacing them with are Tidal Contriva G2's or Agoria's. They're that good.Thats a big statement 3090 and I agree, I have spent some time with Tidals. I have 3.6 (my favorite) an... | |

| McIntosh (MC601) amplifier overheating problem Arthur, thanks for the update, however not the good news I was hoping for being a Mac owner. Best of luck and kick their a$$! | |
| Thiel Owners I know what you mean jon about your 2 2s. I feel the same about my 3.6’s. I have never heard or owned a speaker that floats my boat the way they do. I also own CS6’s, they are slightly more dynamic, play louder, but not better. Maybe not as go... |
