GAS Thalia II holds up well

I recently posted an inquiry about the differences between the GAS Thalia I and II, and received some useful information including an online source for the User's Guide.

I used to own a Thalia I and Grandson which made some good sounds with a pair of Klipsch Cornwalls I owned then, but I sold them both some time ago.

I thought I'd like to try another Thalia and found a v. II in real nice shape on e-Bay and just bought it. I am currently using a pair of B&W Matrix Series II loudspeakers, a newly-acquired, used Pass Labs X 250.5 and an ARC SP-8 preamp.

I was amazed when I swapped the ARC preamp out for the Thalia II. The Thalia sounded great, really spacious, very clean with great bass detail. I listen to a lot of LPs, so a built-in phono input is important to me, and I wanted to have one pre with tone controls to help out with poorly-recorded material.

I will now spend many happy hours switching out the two preamps and the two power amps I have (the Pass and an ARC VT-100 Mk III). Lovely listening to come.

Enjoy your music!

George
