| Thiel Owners @oblgny , While the Thiel's and the Magnaplanars have an uncanny resemblance when it comes to transient response (though the Maggies are planars they are still techically dynamic speakers), and the Maggies though more coherent than most, are not q... | |
| Thiel Owners CS 2.4's : ..."Easy to drive as well". ? Thiel CS2.4 loudspeaker Measurements | Stereophile.com I have to disagree with JA; better to go with an amp that is spec'd to deliver appropriate power into 2 Ohms not 4 Ohms. | |
| Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances ..."stable into low impedances" only suggests that the amplifer won’t go into oscillation when presented with a low impedance. It doesn’t offer how much power at what levels of noise and distortion or what qualtiy will be available into low impeda... | |
| HDCD ^Oppo 203 & 205 don't decode HDCD. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, There aren’t many transports that will output native SACD, etc., and those that do are usually more expensive. The closest machine than comes to mind for those prerequisties is the Oppo 105. The Oppo 105 can output SACD but might requir... | |
| Have opportunity to buy BHK 300's or Pass Labs 250.8 for my Thiel 3.7's- thoughts?? @soix, Happens frequently. I've done it. | |
| Have opportunity to buy BHK 300's or Pass Labs 250.8 for my Thiel 3.7's- thoughts?? FYI; OP nearly 4 years ago. | |
| Thiel Owners @stanleym9999, Thanks. I might have mistakenly called Alpha-Core’s zobles "L-C networks", I think they call them R-C networks(?). | |
| Thiel Owners @stanleym9999, I’d be curious to know the output impedance of your SET preamp? | |
| Thiel Owners @stanleym9999 , The T200 was designed by Michael Bladelius, and used IGBT devices which Nelson Pass was not a fan of. Threshold T-200 power amplifier | Stereophile.com | |
| Thiel Owners @stanleym9999, IME good cables can be can be had for much less money. The savings might be put to better use elsewhere. May I offer for consideration : Alpha-Core Goertz MI series. Alpha-Core used Thiel as a reference. Jim Thiel reccommended the ... | |
| Vintage Audio Repair in CA. Temporarily closed? I very recently had recieved some very good free guidance from Jon. I hope it's just a vacation. | |
| Setup Speakers Along Long Wall? I typically prefer long wall speaker placement. Often long wall placement will improve bass response and provide a more spacious sound stage. There is one very important caveat; if the listeneing position now becomes close to the back wall, absorb... | |
| Krell anticipator circuits of the 1990s I might be in over my head on this, and I really don’t know how Krell actually manages this, but I can imagine that if there was an opto-coupler at the amps input it could possibly alter the bias faster than the speed of sound and closer to the sp... | |
| What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly? Sometimes a direct seller is less likely to discount so as to avoid being accused of undercutting their secondary retailers. Sometimes returns are only accepted for replacements and not refunds. When dealing with a direct seller those replacment o... |
