About the T2
The Threshold T2 is a vintage solid-state remote-controlled line-stage preamplifier from the late 1990s, renowned for its warm, rich tonality and fuller bass response. Designed by Nelson Pass, it features six single-ended RCA inputs and two balanced XLR inputs, a maximum gain of 18dB, and an outboard power supply rated at 150VA with 10,000μF capacitors. The unit lacks a phono section, requiring a separate phono preamp for turntable use, and is often paired with Threshold Stasis amplifiers. It includes an original remote control and is noted for its large, bright display and excellent cosmetics.
