Need advice on amp to drive Vandersteen 2Cs
There are a pair of TAD 125s (Solid State but, sound tubey) for less than a grand out there. That is what I ran my 2ce's when I had them. I now run my 3s. Read the reviews. 
Need advice on amp to drive Vandersteen 2Cs
I had the 2CE sigs and since upgraded to the 3aSigs. I had a McCormack DNA1 but, it was bested by a TAD60 and now a couple of TAD 125s. Not true that the vandys are not a good rock speaker. That's about all I listen to. They are very non fatiuging... 
Tubes for Eastern Electric CD Player
I did not think that it uses anything but what Morningstar is suggesting. Looking for suggestions. I have had a pair of Amperex USN in there for about 4 years. i do not have a tube tester but, want to put something else in there.

SS. amp. for vandersteen 3A-signatures
Set up my new 3A Signatures that I bought from a fellow a-goner. The TAD-125 monos work wonderful at $1300 for a pair. i believe that RussB had a max of 2000. 
SS. amp. for vandersteen 3A-signatures
I drive my 2ce signatures with TAD125 monos from Bizzy Bee and l;ater this week I will be getting my 3a Signatures which will go in this system. The monos do a great job in just about all areas. They go for around $1300. 
Best material for inexpensive amp stands
I am in a Cul-de-sac with a slab floor. Not much traffic. Thanks for the butcher block suggestion. Thaks TVAD...

Most Rockingest Preamp south of $2k used
You didn't say what power amp you have. I have the TAD 150 paired with TAD 125 monos. I play hard rock also and have a hard time finding a CD that doesn't compress the music but, my combo with the TAD stuff throws a big soundstage and does a fair ... 
Most Rockingest Preamp south of $2k used
Difference between The Audio Mirror units are that one has phono and one does not. If you can find a Tube Audio Design 150 or 150 sinature it will sell for less than $1000. i have had mne for 4 years. 
Sub placement with Vandy 2CE sigs
No, unfortunately, I could not afford the 2WQ subs. What I am wondering is if placing the subs behind and close to the Vandys could degrade the sound of the vandys in any way... 
Which integrated Amp for Vandersteen 2ce Sig2 ?
I am not using an integrated amp but, I agree that tilt placement is critical If I stand the sound flattens out but, in my normal sweet spot they are about the easiest most accurate sounding speaker that i have ever listened to. They do not color ... 
Vandersteen 2CE's
I have had the DNA-1s, sounded good. Then the TAD-60, much better, then the TAD-125 monoblocks, in another league entirely. The monos took any of the veil out of the Vandys. Made them sound very detailed with a huge soundstage and excellent range ... 
Need an amp with a 'turbo' top end
I remember selling those at Tech Hi-Fi back in the 70s. Pretty powerfull bottom but, seemed to always lack the top end. Maybe a Bryston or Krell might help...
