Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier

Curiously missing from the latest review was any comparison to any other pre-amp, despite the fact the reviewer had two EAR pre-amps in his system. Given the price point of the EAR pre-amps, and the piece under review, a direct comparison would have been appropriate. I understand the reviewer purchased the unit, but people buy components for different reasons, not all to replace an existing piece. A comparison would have been helpful, and was curiously missing.

Because its not my job to contact the reviewer and ask him what he thought "between the lines." Its the reviewers job to write an informative review that includes comparisons with other similarly priced components. When those comparisons are not in the review I begin to think nasty thoughts like the reviewer did not want to offend the manufacturer of the previously prized piece. Why should I ask him for something he should have included in the review in the first place?

But what are those pieces which "costs several thousands more?" And why are they not mentioned in the review? I am not suggesting the review is wrong, but it certainly helps his credibility, the consumer's pool of information, to write "the Audio Horizons pre-amp sounded like.....compared to the .....preamp which I have heard in my system for ....months/years. Overall, I liked ......preamp better."

Rather than ask me why I don't contact the reviewer to ask him to tell me what should be, but is not, contained in the review, perhaps you can provide me reasons the information is not is not in the review in the first place?
