| gold lion 12ax7 , au7 If you can find some NOS British Mullard 12au7's from late 50's to early 60's, they sound good too. | |
| Best path to upgrading older system: Thiel, Adcom, CAL Audio Lab, Thornes.... The pre and power amps you suggested are good choices. You should probably change to a more modern DAC. They have come along way since the Cal. Maybe consider a Node 2i streamer and Tidal subscription??? Thiels are good speakers. | |

| subwoofer, Vandersteen 2Wq tolerance bdunne,I was assuming you were using the 2Wq with the filters as Richard mentioned. As he said, you can't just use any kind of standard sub out connection without the filters and main system amp to the subs amp. | |
| subwoofer, Vandersteen 2Wq tolerance I can't see why this wouldn't be ok. The reason most companies make equipment without a power switch is the general idea of leaving it on all the time, as in the case of the 2Wq. When you switch your main system on or off, does the sub emit any tr... | |
| subwoofer, Vandersteen 2Wq tolerance If you are talking about switching the main system on and off while the Vandy sub is plugged in (ON), don't worry. Won't hurt a thing. I do this all the time. | |
| My sacrilegeous question to audiophiles out there regarding parametric equalizer. If anyone wants to try simple, limited EQ, try the Schitt Loki. $150. You might even be able to return it if not satisfied. I'm tempted to get one for my FM tuner. Not because it sounds bad, it's just that I have such crappy sounding FM stations i... | |

| From tubes to SS amp : Ayre, Belles, Pass or else ? twoleftears,Which Rogue model did you transition from? Are you using Vandersteen Loudspeakers?Cheers,Tim | |
| My sacrilegeous question to audiophiles out there regarding parametric equalizer. Nothing wrong with it at all. Only the purists here think of it as sacrilegious. | |
| What to do with my old equipment being replaced? If the Dahlquist DQ-10's are in any decent shape, you should be able to get some money out of them via Audiogon listings. The buzz you hear might be the back thin metal cage vibrating that covers the back of the drivers and crossover. As far as th... | |
| Full Range under $5k-ish Vandersteen 3A Sigs would be a good choice at that price point.Audiotroy (Dave) does not like them because he does not sell them. Or maybe he feels they are not up to his standards for loudspeakers in that price range. WHICH is just his opinion. | |
| Storing Unused Audio Equipment +1, sbankI've seen basements that had relatively high humidity percentages that would warp (severely) veneer wood finishes and open up corner joints in otherwise good speaker cabinets. This could happen even if the speaker was inside a carton off ... | |
| new L100? tomic601,Sounds good to me. I'll bring over a Mofi Original Master recording of Foghat's "Fool for the City." LP. Slow Ride is one of my faves. No nice guys here, were gonna bust the lease that night! Right? ;-)P.S. Don't forget the Knob Creek Ry... |
