| Thiel Owners @coop_301 , Something to consider; some of these amps are getting up there in age, and might be due for a recapping and perhaps re-biasing. The cost of which may not be inexpensive, especially when considering the weight and corresponding shipping... | |
| Thiel Owners @coop_301 , Just to clarify; that with the Thiel’s sonically I’d much prefer the ML to the Crown or Eagle, and many others too. Which is not to say those amps might not be preferable with other speakers. The Eagle would be a great match with more ... | |
| Thiel Owners The Levinson's are certainly up to the task of delivering on the Thiel's, but Harmon hasn't exactly built the best reputation for customer support, especially for the legacy models. FWIW, personally I prefer some of the vintage Krell's, Threshold'... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, though I'm typically firmly ensconced in the solid state camp, the Sonic Frontier's Line 3 tube line stage impressed the heck out of me. With its true balanced, DC coupled, low output impedance; makes an unusually good match with ss amp... | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition Sonic Frontiers Line 3. I’m typically firmly in the solid state camp, but this tube line stage impressed the heck out of me. | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition New or used price? | |

| FM Tuners @big_greg , offers excellent advice. When it comes to tuners, like real estate, it comes down to; "location, location, location" FWIW, IME, Magnum Dynalab’s own cheaper (though still somewhat expensive for what it is) previously called "silver ri... | |
| Do speaker wires have to be the same length for each speaker? The argument seems to be less about distance and time, but rather one of commonality of load per channel on the amplification. | |
| Thiel Owners @decathlon1991, Which models? | |
| Tube Preamps that work well with SS amps? @twoleftears, Tube pres are more likely to have a higher output voltage that could be going into typically more sensitive ss amps; reducing the effective range of the volume control. Tube pres are less likely to have the balanced outputs that are ... | |
| Tube Preamps that work well with SS amps? Atmasphere and Sonic Frontiers. | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? @audition__audio , That different time correct loudspeakers have different tonal balances suggest that your complaint might be the result of something other than time correctness. Other than the Thiel CS 5 and 5i, I don’t think the other Thiel mo... | |
| The volume of my speakers going down by itself and going back again in a minute or two Your new to you 20 year old pre and power amp might need a tech check. | |
| Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks? "I think we can all agree..." and if you don't we'll label you a heretic, and burn you at the stake. I think the proposal to convert this from a forum to exchange information into one that restricts to protect affirmation, is a very sad one indeed... |
