| Thiel Owners jafant,Checking out. Hit my 97th last month, and I'm happy, very happy, with my Thiel 2.7s,Thiel sub and Bryston electronics. No reason to contemplate modifications,, upgrades, etc. Learned a lot from tomthiel and prof. Cheers, George, The Old Fud | |
| Thiel Owners Maybe it's just my ears, but I haven't heard the harshness described in my 2.7sPoor recordings can emphasize sound in that region. YMMV | |
| Thiel Owners Yeah! The classical CD collection is getting a workout. | |
| Thiel Owners jafant, I've been pseudo-quarantined since last June, only foraying out to go for medical appointments.With only one good eye, there's no depth perception, and a serious fall last year destroyed the vestibular balance. No depth perception plus no... | |
| Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!! Present configuration consists of SS electronics from one manufacturer, left on 24/7/365. Believe leaving on SS does make a difference. Took the preamp longer to break in (circa 400 hours).All I have to do is slip in a CD and turn up the volume. N... | |
| Thiel Owners @vair68roberttI'm still waiting to hear from Rob G on why my or all 2.7s have this wiring instead of the straight wire that was standard in all other ThielsEarlier, in a discussion about 2.7s in another web page, Jim Thiel was reported to have sai... | |
| Are all red book cd transports created equal? If you have a decent DAC, the Cambridge transport (circa $350-400) is an excellent choice. I use one, plus a Bryston BDA-2 in the secondary system. If you want superb Redbook playback, the Bryston BCD-3 is a superb player spinner, although a bi... | |
| Thiel Owners Once again, I gotta' agree with prof.I've been in a pseudo self-quarantine since June (no depth perception and zero vestibular balance)'My 27s, plus sub, are a superb way t0 cope with the isolation. | |

| Vivaldi, played badly, is the worst classical music on earth As a bit of levity: Both my wife and I are classical music nuts. I really appreciate Mozart, but my wife cannot stand him: "He wrote elevator music before we had elevators!" Both of appreciate the myriad scores written by the Red Priest. | |
| Why Does CD Sound So Good? IMO, Depends on the quality of the DAC in the spinner. | |
| Why Does CD Sound So Good? georgehifi,Agree!!George | |
| Why Does CD Sound So Good? larryi,I have my 1100 CDs shelved in special four-sided racks that spin around. I have them cataloged by composer. It's simple to turn the racks and choose. I also keep a small 20-CD holder on top of the cabinet holding the BCD-3 BP 17 cubed and ... | |
| Why Does CD Sound So Good? magister,Walcha sends me emotionally, as he has figured out how a blind man can play the organ.I saw a video several years ago showing how Walcha first listened to the diapason line, then built on it. Of course, assistants had to set the stops fo... | |
| Why Does CD Sound So Good? mahgister,I'm fond of Bach's organ works, and have been comparing Marie Claire Alain's complete set against Helmut Walcha's. Cheers |
