| Thiel Owners jazzman, The reason I asked is because the cable that comes wit the 26 and power supply is rather short.George | |
| Thiel Owners cascadesphil,Yes, I'm familiar with the diagram on how to wire a cable for use between the power supply and the BP-26, as I own both. (and I have te manual.)IMO, Belden cables are top quality, and, I've used their cable stock for many years to ro... | |
| Thiel Owners jazzman,The power supply for the BP-26 is some distance away from the preamp. Where did you get the connecting cable?George | |
| Thiel Owners Tom,You've talked me into a pair of 800s cans. Thanks!!So now I have the 008s and the 800s .Really causes a dilemma, as both are excellent. I'll still use the electrostatics to check new CD s, but most likely will use the 800s for pleasurable l... | |
| Thiel Owners I spent several weeks going to my dealer's showroom to audition the 3.7s and 2.7s. I took a widespread selection of my classical CDs with which I was very familiar. In the end, I selected the 2.7s, along with a SS2.2 sub to extend the lower bass. ... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom,WoW! 800S cans. They certainly must sound better than my HD 600s. The circular transducer must make a difference. I agree. Everything that sounds coherent via the electrostatics also sounds coherent with my 2.7s. I think the major difference... | |
| Thiel Owners prof,I agree with your description of the 2.7s, although I'm using a Bryston 4B cubed with a bp17 cubed preamp. To me there is a clear difference in the 2.7s being driven by the 4BSST2 and the 4B cubed.George | |
| Thiel Owners Tom, Electrostatic headphones use a very, very thin and low mass membrane, positioned between two stators that are driven by a high voltage signal. (The stators operate push-pull to ensure the membrane reacts in a near simultaneous move to the com... | |
| Thiel Owners andy2Get a decent set of electrostatic headphones (Stax) and you'll be even more confused. ;-) | |
| Thiel Owners andy2 Ours would act up at Kathleen Battle. | |
| Thiel Owners Tom, Thank you. | |
| Thiel Owners Tom, Sorry for an antediluvian question: When you speak of tonality, are you referring to a pure sinusoid wave form or one containing the harmonics?In my earlier years, I was taught the beauty of a violin tone came from the addition of the harmon... | |
| Thiel Owners RobAs you're retired, you might have some fun reviewing the Thiele/Small Parameters. I built my own speakers back in the monaural and early stereo days - - well before the Thiele/Small parameters were published. Wish they'd been available then. ... | |
| Thiel Owners agree with jon.Test tomes resulted in weird noises, both earlier 3.5s and now the 2.7s. | |
| Thiel Owners While waiting for my braised brisket to cook, I went to the "Speakers" topic and went to the beginning, hoping to find threads about AR3a speakers. Found this: Not much has changed.Thiel 30 April 2000 thread:"Looking for advice in driving Th... |
