| Paradigm Persona series frozentundra,You made a good choice with the Revel Ultima 2. That is a fine speaker. One of my favorites.Are you from Wisconsin??? | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT rsure,The Naim Uniti Atom is a terrific integrated. tomic601 has that amp on his Vandy Treo Ct's. I've been to his place a few times to listen to that system and all I can say is WOW! What a superb sounding set-up! Naim pairs wonderfully with Vand... | |
| Wolfson dac I believe several Cdp companies use the Wolfson chips. Rega included. | |
| Paradigm Persona series Vandersteen awhile back offered to give people a $500 discount on any new Vandersteen speaker that was their Treo Ct. or higher with a trade of any Series 2 speakers. | |
| Vandersteen 2ce Signature and Signature 2? Richard Vandersteen isn't one to change letter/number designation very often in his speakers. As John Rutan said, look at the drivers. The small but significant changes in driver topology will give you a clue as to what you have as long as you kno... | |
| 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... | |
