| Thiel Owners @tomthiel - Thank you - we'll try that. I grew up a Linnie, so prefer to have a single pair of speakers in a room. The prior owner is sending me the pins so I can experiment with and without them. Just a brief listen was positive - airy and rel... | |
| Thiel Owners I have now picked up the aforementioned CS2.2s. Heavy, look very nice if wider than my normal Monitor Audio GX300s. I only have one set of cables that are single-wired; these being a set of Naim NAC A5s with bananas at one end and bare wire at th... | |
| Naim introduce a turntable - the Solstice Special Edition The WhatHiFi piece says: "The Special Edition Collection includes the belt-drive Solstice turntable; the Aro Mk2 tonearm; an Equinox MC cartridge; a Solstice Series Phono Stage; a Solstice Series Power Supply and bespoke accessories set." | |
| Thiel Owners All - Should be picking up the 2.2s today. Assuming I can get them in the door by myself, I'll post impressions (assuming I have a set of single-wire speaker cables!). | |
| TDL Compact Monitors @doyle3433 - Keep them. Good speaker, and I agree you probably wouldn't get enough for them. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel and @jafant and @jon_5912 :Thanks all! I emailed and made what I hope is a reasonable offer - $450 (they're listed for $600). Will post back if able to complete purchase. | |
| Help buying first analog rig - Clearaudio Concept or Rega P6 JM - I recently tried a Rega P6 with the Ania MC against a Clearaudio Concept and a MoFi Ultradeck. I kept the Rega (and then bought not 1 but 2 LP12s - but that's another story).For me, it was the best sounding of the three - it goes the best jo... | |
| Speaker suggestions please - going to the BIG city Pro Musica all the way. They've stood the test of time. Great store. (And no, I have nothing to do with them.) | |
| Thiel Owners All - There's a pair of 2 2s not far from me - are they worth taking a chance on? Just looking to play/experiment. (I know they're OLD!) Amp is a pair of Exposure 3010S2 monoblocks. Thanks in advance! | |
| What cd player should I buy? Probably a safe bet that the OP bought something - 19 years ago. ;) | |
| Old digital that still kicks butt I have a Naim nDAC powered by a Pardo T-XPS; it's seen off (almost) everything I've compared it to - Denafrips, Schiit's Yggy, Hugo TT, etc. The one DAC that was noticeably better was the dCS Rossini; while I' sure there are others I've never hea... | |
| Clearaudo Concept vs Rega P6 Enjoy!A great table/arm/cartridge combination. | |
| Clearaudo Concept vs Rega P6 I recently compared the P6/330/Ania to the Mofi Ultradeck with MoFi's better cartridge and the Clearaudio Concept with the Clearaudio MM cartridge (the $250 one).I kept the Rega. In my system, at least, it was noticeably better - quieter, less co... | |
| Phono Stage That's not Schiit Just get a Rega Fono. There’s a used one on the web for $200. Made for the Elys2/Exact2. Matches perfectly - no fuss, sounds good, reliable, and with great support from a real company - enough of the BS single guy operating out of a proverbial gar... | |
| Need help: turntable market in the $1500-$2000 range is overwhelming I'd go with a Rega P6. Fuss-free, and excellent sounding. I compared it to a MoFi Ultradeck and a Clearaudio Concept; preferred the Rega. At $1995 with Exact2 (MM) or $2195 with Ania (MC) cartridge, I think it's the best sounding combo in the p... |
